The 2025 Open Championship, the last golf major of the year, begins tomorrow at 1:30 AM ET at Royal Portrush Golf Club in Portrush, Northern Ireland.
Scottie Scheffler enters as the betting favorite for the 2025 Open Championship at Royal Portrush, with Rory McIlroy close behind, seeking redemption on home soil after missing the cut here in 2019.
Scheffler won the Masters in 2022 and 2024, and the PGA Championship in 2025. However, he is missing a British Open title from his trophy case. Could this be the year for Scottie? The odds for betting on the Open Championship suggest that it is.
Rory McIlroy has won all four major pro golf tournaments, with his most recent win coming at the 2025 Masters. Oddsmakers have placed him 200 points behind Scheffler, but well ahead of the rest of the field.

One pro golfer that we know will not be taking part in the Open Championship this year is Wyndham Clark. The reason? Clark trashed his locker following this year’s US Open, and the aftermath was blasted on Twitter/X.

“Following multiple discussions with the USGA and the OCC Board, a decision has been made that Mr. Clark will no longer be permitted on OCC property.”
A Statement From Oakmont Club
Unfortunately, Tiger Woods will not be playing at the British Open this year either, as he is still rehabbing from his torn Achilles that he suffered before the 2025 Masters.
Any betting odds listed here and at our favorite online golf gambling sites will remain online until each round begins, with most sites also keeping the odds up during the match for live betting opportunities.
Our staff’s most consistent winner pick this year is Scottie Scheffler, and our unanimous sleeper pick is Shane Lowry.
