This week’s 2026 Open Championship at Royal Birkdale is the last chance for major glory this year, and the two biggest stars in golf are the top betting favorites. Here is everything you need to know about the Open Championship odds and other betting favorites to start the week.
Open Championship betting favorites
Heading into the final men’s major of the year, defending Open champion Scottie Scheffler is still the favorite to win, but not by all that much.
That might have to do with the fact that Scheffler is coming off his first missed cut in years, which happened on Friday at the Genesis Scottish Open. But that’s pretty much been Scheffler’s only truly poor result this season, which means he’s still our favorite to win his fifth major title with +600 odds-to-win to start Open week.
World No. 2 Rory McIlroy looked much better at the Scottish Open, contending until late Sunday and eventually finishing T7. He comes into the Open with +780 odds-to-win.
LIV Golf star Jon Rahm is in third in the Open betting odds at +1550. Rahm played in the Scottish Open too, where he rallied to make the cut and finish T36.
The two players tied for fourth (+2150) in the pre-tournament Open odds both had solid finishes last week in Scotland. Matt Fitzpatrick recorded a T3, while Tommy Fleetwood, who grew up near Open host Royal Birkdale, ended up T13.
