Copybet golf betting offer: Big names dominate the betting ahead of The Open at Royal Troon
The Open Championship takes place this week at the historic Royal Troon Golf Club in Scotland and as the oldest of the four major championships, it is one of the most prestigious events in the golfing calendar.
A host of big names have compelling reasons to believe this could be their year and there’s plenty of value in the betting. World number one Scottie Scheffler is unsurprisingly the current favourite, with sportsbook CopyBet listing him as a 5/1 shot. Scheffler is looking to add to his two Masters titles and whilst he hasn’t found his best golf in The Open over the years, he has every chance of lifting the famous trophy on Sunday evening.
Next in the betting at 7/1 is a certain Rory Mcllroy who comes into this tournament with the memories of his disastrous final few holes in the US Open still fresh in his mind. Mcllroy is desperate to add to his tally of four major titles, the last of which he won at The Open a decade ago.
The man who defeated Mcllroy in North Carolina last month was Bryson DeChambeau and the big American is a 14/1 shot to follow that triumph with another victory on the biggest stage. Meanwhile, another US contender with multiple major titles to his name is Brooks Koepka. The Florida-based golfer has five majors in his locker but has never finished better than tied fourth in the British Open, so he’ll have every motivation to make the headlines this week and will have more than a few backers at a lengthy 33/1.
Away from the outright winner markets, betting on a Top 10 Finish is always a popular route for punters and favours backing consistent performers on the tour like Xander Schauffele at 5/4 and Collin Morikawa at 29/20.
It promises to be a fascinating four days of action and CopyBet has a number of markets on site for the British Open, including Leader After 1st Round, Top European and whether there will be a hole-in-one.
