The field is set, and the betting odds have reset for next week’s 153rd Open Championship at Royal Portrush Golf Club’s Dunluce Links in Northern Ireland. I say “reset” because sportsbooks have been taking action on the 2025 Open since reigning Champion Golfer of the Year Xander Schauffele (+2500) won the 152nd Open at Royal Troon in England.
Of course, World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler (+450) enters as the favorite at DraftKings, followed by Irishman and 2025 Masters champion, Rory McIlroy (+700). Fellow Irish lad Shane Lowry (+3000) won the Claret Jug in 2019 at Royal Portrush by six strokes, the club’s third and most recent time hosting The Open.
Two-time major winner and LIV Tour defector Jon Rahm (+1200) and two-time U.S. Open champion and fellow LIV Tour defector, Bryson DeChambeau (+1800), are the only other golfers below 20-to-1. Chris Gotterup (+7000) qualified for The Open by holding off Rory to win the 2025 Genesis Scottish Open 2025.
This is a sneak preview of my upcoming “Best Bets, ‘One-And-Done'” article, but I’m all-in on JON RAHM (+1200), down to +1000, at The Open. He’s at the top of my betting card, and I’m using him for my survivor league. Rahm is a proven winner (2021 U.S. Open and 2023 Masters) with an all-around game, three top-10s in the last four Open Championships, and a T11 at Royal Portrush 2019.
Otherwise, I’ll research the course and field further to find some longshots from the guys below.
