Golf goes across the pond this week for the season’s fourth and final major championship.

The 2019 Open Championship, also referred to as The Open or The British Open, will play out at Royal Portrush Golf Club in County Antrim, Northern Ireland from July 18 to 21.

Of course, you can now bet on the 2019 golf season’s final major championship in eight states across the US with legal sports betting.

These states are:

• New Mexico

Ahead of Thursday’s tee off, betting on the 2019 Open Championship at legal US sportsbooks could not be easier. You simply pick the golfer you think can win it all and lay down a bet at odds found inside a sportsbook’s 2019 Open Championship outrights market.

2019 Open Championship odds

Below is a look at the current 2019 Open Championship outrights odds at four of the top sportsbooks in the country.

This includes NJ sports betting apps BetStars NJ and FanDuel Sportsbook. Additionally, it includes newly launched PA sports betting apps including SugarHouse Sportsbook and Parx Sportsbook

As you can see, defending champion Francesco Molinari is hardly the favorite.

The 2018 Open Championship was his first and only major title. Plus, a meltdown at The Masters this spring saw him lose a two-stroke lead going into the final round after putting two balls in the water on the back nine.

Tiger Woods went on to win that event, but the aging golf superstar isn’t exactly the top favorite at Royal Portrush this weekend either. Nor is 2019 PGA Championship winner Brooks Koepka.

Although, Koepka has won four out of the last 11 majors and booked two majors wins and two runner-up finishes in the last four, forcing oddsmakers to keep him close.

No true moneyline favorite

There is actually no true moneyline favorite to win just yet. But, at what should be around +800, Rory McIlroy is the current favorite at most legal US sportsbooks. McIlroy won The Open in 2014 and has three other major titles.

Plus, he’s from Northern Ireland, making him a bit of a hometown favorite. In fact, at age 16 McIlroy, now 30, shot a course-record 61 at Royal Portrush.

McIlroy is also ranked No. 3 in the world according to the Official World Golf Ranking and a contender every time golf tees up another major.

As always, a lot of the betting action here in the US should still center around Woods. After all, he is a three-time Open winner.

British Open Championship 2019 Odds

The issue is that it has been more than a decade (2006) since the last time he won The Open. Plus, at 43, and with a list of old injuries that seem to act up when it rains, traditionally poor weather conditions might be more of a factor for Woods than others.

For Open Championship betting, the best value is at or near the top

Depending on the price, American Dustin Johnson may provide the best value at or near the top. He’s the No. 2 ranked golfer in the world right now. Plus, he did finish among the runner ups at The Open Championship in 2011.

There’s also a feeling among golf experts that the tight nature of the Royal Portrush course suits Johnson’s style of play better than others, in particular, world No. 1 Koepka.

Of course, it all comes down to who plays the best this weekend in Northern Ireland.

Legal US sportsbooks will adjust the odds in these outrights markets heavily after the first two rounds Thursday and Friday. Leaders will emerge and the current favorites will need to play their way into contention along with everyone else.

Here in the US, you can watch the first two rounds to see if they can on the Golf Channel. NBC takes over coverage for the final two rounds Saturday and Sunday.

The 148th edition of The Open Championship will be the final Major of the 2019 PGA Tour season. Dunluce Links at Royal Portrush in Portrush, Northern Ireland, will be this year’s host site. It is the first time Royal Portrush has held The Open Championship since 1951.

Dunluce Links measures 7,344 yards and will play as a par 71 under championship conditions.

The key stats to monitor this week are:

Open Championship Odds 2019 To Make Cut

The Open Championship – Tier 1

Cantlay picked up what was then the best Major finish of his career at last year’s Open Championship at Carnoustie. He finished T9 at this year’s Masters, T3 at the PGA Championship and T21 at the US Open. He also won the Memorial Tournament in early June for his second professional victory, climbing into the top 10 in the Official World Golf Ranking.

The 27-year-old ranks second in my stat model and is fourth in the field in SG: Ball Striking.

Fleetwood is always a fan favorite at The Open, leading to suppressed odds for the 20th-ranked player in the world. He hasn’t played a PGA event since finishing 13th at the Travelers Championship. His best result of the year was a second runner-up result at the Arnold Palmer Invitational.

Always excellent on links courses, Fleetwood is top-11 in the field in Doubles Avoided and Sand Saves.

The Open Championship – Tier 2

The sportsbooks are grossly disrespecting Kuchar. The FedExCup points leader comes up early in any conversation regarding the best golfer without a Major title. He has 12 career top 10s including a T9 last year. He is in the top 50 in all key stats and has eight top 10s with two victories this season.

Cabrera Bello is one of a few players in The Open field with a measure of course history. He finished as a runner-up at the 2012 Irish Open hosted at Royal Portrush. It was prior to considerable renovations, but the experience matches with his current form. He finished T4 at this year’s Irish Open and T3 at the BMW International Open two weeks prior.

The Open Championship – Longshots

Simpson leads the stat model with top-six ranks in Doubles Avoided, Sand Saves, and Par 4 Efficiency. He has four top 10s in 15 events this year, including a T5 at the Masters. He is 19th by world ranking but 38th by the odds.

Glover cooled off considerably this PGA season, after collecting four top 10s in his first nine events with only one missed cut, but he’s coming off a T7 at the 3M Open and is second in The Open field in Doubles Avoided.
