The PGA Tour’s fourth and final golf major of the year is upon us!

The top golfers in the world will descend to the Royal Liverpool Golf Club in England for the Open Championship, which runs from July 20-23. The track will play as a par-71 that is 7,312 yards long.

The Open Championship was last held here in 2014. Rory McIlroy won the tournament that year, shooting 17-under-par 271 to beat Rickie Fowler and Sergio Garcia by two strokes.

The Northern Irishman has been on the brink of winning a major tournament multiple times recently, including at last year’s Open Championship. McIlroy also finished second at the U.S. Open this year, losing to Wyndham Clark by one stroke. He enters this year’s Open Championship fresh off his win at the Scottish Open this past weekend, too.

As for gambling on the big event, we’ve got you covered with everything you need, from the odds to best bets, so let’s dive into the action.

The Favorites

Speaking of McIlroy, he is the co-favorite to win the tournament, holding +750 odds at FOX Bet. Scottie Scheffler (+750, bet $10 to win $100 total), Jon Rahm (+1100), Brooks Koepka (+1400) and Cameron Smith (+1400) round out the top five among the betting favorites.

LONG SHOTS

If you follow me on Twitter, you know I love betting on golf long shots. There’s just something thrilling about holding a lottery ticket deep into Sunday. It also presents you with multiple hedging opportunities if you want to eliminate some of your risks.

That being said, here are a couple of guys I’m definitely throwing some pizza money on to win it all:

Corey Conners +7000
