Betting Odds: Day, DJ Favorites at The Open Championship

0

The 145th Open Championship kicks off this Thursday at Royal Troon in Scotland, so it’s time to start thinking about which players to play, sit or even place some money on.

World number one Jason Day was the early favorite, but now Dustin Johnson (OWGR #2) is the co-favorite with Day at 8/1, as he’s clearly been the best player in the world for the past month.

 

Sergio Garcia and Shane Lowry seem like a good value at 30/1 and 40/1, respectively, considering their recent play. Scott Piercy (85/1) has come out of nowhere to contend, placing runner-up at both the U.S. Open and WGC-Bridgestone, so keep an eye out for him. Former Open champ Louis Oosthuizen is a fantastic links player and is almost a steal at 40/1.

There are a lot of players who have low odds of winning who could turn the corner at any moment, and trying to pick the right one is half the fun. The other half, of course, is picking the right one and getting a good return on your gambling investment.

Gone are the days of seeing a player come in to every tournament at 3/1 odds, which was basically Tiger Woods for many years. Jason Day, Jordan Spieth, and Dustin Johnson are fantastic players in their own right, but they may never even sniff 5/1 at a major championship. It would require a level of dominance we haven’t seen since Tiger. There are also just too many good young players now, which is not to take away from Tiger’s dominance.

Here is the complete list, according to Sportsbook:

Jason Day 8/1
