2023 The Open Championship Odds Update Last Minute Analysis and Picks | MyBookie Golf Preview

The Open Championship | 151st edition of the PGA Tour golf tournament
Royal Liverpool Golf Club | Wirral, England
Thursday, July 20th, 2023 – Sunday, July 23rd, 2023

 

Odds Changes include Brooks’ Rising and Rory Falling

McIlroy opened at +900 or so. The day before the first tee off at Royal Liverpool, Rory has fallen to almost even terms with Scottie Scheffler.

Scheffler continues to be the favorite even though McIlroy has more experience playing over a links course. Rory knows Royal Liverpool. So don’t be surprised if McIlroy tees off the chalk on Thursday.

Jon Rahm’s odds have risen past +1200 after opening a co-second choice with Rory. Brooks Koepka’s are also on the rise, as are Tommy Fleetwood’s. Viktor Hovland’s odds have fallen to close to +2000 after Hovland opened at +2800.

 

2023 The Open Championship PGA Tournament Picks

Top Pick: Rory McIlroy +760

It’s almost never wise to back chalk, but in this case, riding Rory’s hot sticks make sense. McIlroy has played great golf pretty much since the PGA Championship in May. Rory finished seventh in the PGA Championship.

At the U.S. Open, McIlroy finished second. There was also the seventh place finish at the Travelers and the win last Sunday at the Scottish Genesis Open. McIlroy is playing like the best golfer on the planet.

He knows how to have success over links courses, meaning Rory should be in the running for the victory on Sunday. Again, it’s never fun to back chalk, but McIlroy should get it done.

Second Pick: Brooks Koepka +1950

This year’s PGA Championship winner finished second at the Masters before lifting the PGA trophy. Then in the last major tournament, the U.S. Open, Brooks finished seventeenth.

Koepka is playing well enough to win, but we can’t endorse ahead of Rory. The issue? Brooks’ best finish at The Open Championship was a fourteenth in 2019.

For sure, Koepka can get it done because he’s motivated. Also, the odds are great. So if you think Brooks breaks through this Sunday, consider.

Third Pick: Cameron Smith +1750

The 2022 The Open Championship winner is playing well enough for the repeat. Smith won the LIV Golf Invitational London in early July.

In June, Smith finished fourth at the U.S. Open. Cameron finished ninth at the PGA Championship. So the third choice could win this. But it’s difficult to win The Open in two straight years. So we made Smith our third choice.

Top Underdog: Tommy Fleetwood +2300

Fleetwood is dead on the board. Tommy opened a +1500 chalk. But a day before the tournament and Fleetwood is a +2300 favorite.

The odds make Tommy a slight overlay. Fleetwood finished second at the RBC Canadian Open, fifth at the U.S. Open, and sixth at the Scottish Genesis Open. Tommy can get it done at a higher number than we expected.
