Golf betting tips for The Open Championship (in more detail):
Collin Morikawa:
To win outright (2 points win @ 16/1).
Current form (last 5 starts): 4 – 2 – T14 – T13 – T4.
Event form (last 5 years): DNP – DNP – 1 – MC – MC.
Reasons to believe – Collin Morikawa:
“Since his victory in 2021, Morikawa hasn’t performed well in his last two Open Championship appearances. However, everything points towards a strong comeback at Royal Troon. After finishing T3 at the Masters, he has been on fire, with a perfect record of 10-for-10 cuts made and five top-four finishes. Looks like he’s back in top form for the final major of the year!” – ParUp Golf’s resident tipster ‘Big Dal’ on why he can win.
Rory McIlroy:
To win outright (2 points win @ 8/1).
Current form (last 5 starts): T12 – T4 – T15 – 2 – T4.
Event form (last 5 years): 2 – MC – 46 – 3 – 6.
Reasons to believe – Rory McIlroy:
“After a tough loss at the US Open, what a fantastic comeback last week with a T4 finish. I had a feeling that if he was going to break his major drought, it would be at The Open and with 3 top 6 finishes in the last 5 years, it’s looking promising! It would be a great bounce back from McIlroy!” – ParUp Golf’s resident tipster ‘Big Dal’ on why he can win.
Jon Rahm:
Each-way (1 point e/w @ 25/1 – 8 places).
Current form (last 5 starts): T10 – MC – WD – T3 – T10.
Event form (last 5 years): MC – 11 – 3 – 34 – 2.
Reasons to believe – Jon Rahm:
“After recovering from a foot injury that sadly kept him from playing at the U.S. Open, this year hasn’t been the best for Rahm in the major tournaments. However, with two top 3 finishes in the last three Open Championships, he has a good opportunity to turn things around this week.” – ParUp Golf’s resident tipster ‘Big Dal’ on why he can win.
Cameron Young:
Each-way (1 point e/w @ 60/1 – 8 places).
Current form (last 5 starts): MC – T50 – T67 – T9 – T6.
Event form (last 5 years): DNP – DNP – DNP – 2 – 8.
Reasons to believe – Cameron Young:
“This selection has bit more gut instinct about it, as I have a good feeling about Cameron Young this week. Although his form hasn’t been great this season, he did finish T9 and T6 in his last two events, which shows some improvement. Plus, his record in the Open Championship is exceptional, finishing 2nd and 8th in his only two appearances.” – ParUp Golf’s resident tipster ‘Big Dal’ on why he can win.
Big Dal’s, big price outsider – Corey Conners:
Each-way (1 point e/w @ 90/1 – 8 places).
Current form (last 5 starts): 6 – T20 – T9 – T27 – T10.
Event form (last 5 years): DNP – MC – 15 – 28 – 52.
Reasons to believe – Corey Conners:
“Conners is my outside bet this week. He is an incredible talent and a world-class ball-striker, which should be a big asset at Royal Troon. This week’s conditions are expected to feel familiar to home, so should also help his game. Plus, he’s on a hot streak of making 26 consecutive cuts, so his form is definitely on point!” – ParUp Golf’s resident tipster ‘Big Dal’ on why he can win.
