The Open Championship Tips & Predictions
—
Best Bet
Rory McIlroy went close to winning the Scottish Open last week, and although he couldn’t pull out the stops in the final round, he could be saving his best for the bigger occasion.
The 2014 winner broke his majors drought earlier this year, so the pressure is off, and that could result in him playing better this week. His driver woes are behind him, and if he finds the fairway this week, The Open Championship is his for the taking.
Scheffler isn’t playing well, and he doesn’t play well in the second half of the year, so the $8 odds for McIlroy are worth snapping up.

Next Best
Jon Rahm is one of the best players in the world, and although he’s tucked away on the LIV Tour, he is playing well in the 2025 majors.
The Spaniard finished T7 at the U.S. Open and T8 at the PGA Championship after giving away the win late in the game. He had every chance to run down Scottie Scheffler, and he was tied with the world number one in the final round at one stage.
Close calls aren’t enough to get Rahm down on confidence, and it was good seeing him play well on the LIV Tour last week. He didn’t win, but he was right behind the winner, and he plays his best golf when it counts.
Take the $13 odds as a value bet for a player with buckets of experience playing in Europe.

Best Value Bet
Pressure to perform has been on Ludvig Aberg this year, and although the young Swede hasn’t been at his best, he got back to good form last week at the Scottish Open.
The 25-year-old finished T8 behind Chris Gotterup, and that should give him enough confidence to play well at The Open Championship. He would love to have a major under his belt, and he has enough talent to get it done.
There hasn’t been much talk about Aberg leading into this tournament, which could work for him. Our Open Championship betting picks love the $26 odds available.

Best Roughie
Speaking of pressure, there is a lot on Joaquin Niemann to take his exceptional LIV form to the world stage at the majors.
He has been disappointing in the majors, especially considering his form at LIV. He’s the most successful player on the tour, and that form will soon enough be franked at the top level, and it could be this week at The Open Championship.
Niemann is a risky play, especially in Europe, but the $51 odds are generous from bookmakers. We would happily back him at those odds every time in majors because we believe he is a major winner in the waiting.

Top 20
Golf form typically carries over to the next week, so we’re backing Chris Gotterup to post a top 20 finish.
The American caused a big shock when winning the Scottish Open last week, but he hit quality shots, and there’s no reason to believe that he won’t play well again.
He’s also a good chance to be the first-round leader, so include him in picks at value odds.
