Open Championship odds: Scottie Scheffler early favorite for final major of 2025
The 2025 Open Championship, the final major of the year, is finally here, and the action tees off on Thursday, July 17, at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland.
At the top of the odds list is World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, the early favorite with odds of +550 ahead of the first round. He is looking to end the year on a high note after finishing in the top ten at his recent outing at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Following him is World No. 2 Rory McIlroy from Northern Ireland, currently ranked second in odds at +750. McIlroy aims to improve his performance compared to the last time that the Open Championship was held at Royal Portrush in 2019, when he missed the cut.
