The Open Championship Props Odds & Picks

Will a Playoff be Required to Decide the Winner?

Yes+375
No-500

Playoff Featuring 3 or More Players?

Yes+1600
No-5000

Close finishes at The Open Championship have been a rarity in recent editions. Xander Schauffele won the major by two strokes last year, while six shots recorded Brian Harman’s success in 2023.

In fact, a playoff hasn’t been required to determine the winner since Zach Johnson landed success in 2015. That remains the only playoff at the major since 2010. Therefore, the trends indicate that a playoff likely won’t be required to determine the major winner in 2025.

Free Pick:

  • No Playoff Required (-500)

Winning Margin at The Open Championship

Winning MarginOdds
Exactly 1 Shot+225
4 Shots or More+325
Exactly 2 Shots+375
Playoff Needed to Decide Winner+375
Exactly 3 Shots+650

Despite not having the need for a playoff on a regular basis, The Open Championship has still been a typically competitive event.

But, a one-shot winning margin appears unlikely, with Cameron Smith’s success in 2022 being the only time since 2012 that one shot separated the winner. We like the chances of two strokes being the difference this weekend, just as it has in two of the last four editions.

Free Pick:

  • Exactly 2 Shots (+375)

Winning Nationality

Winning NationalityOdds
USA+110
Non-USA-140

Despite having the top choice in the betting this weekend, The Open is favored to have a non-American winning player. We like the chances of that, as we have already put our case forward for Englishman Tommy Fleetwood.

Meanwhile, our second pick is also a European star in the form of Jon Rahm. Therefore, this betting market offers a chance to cover both angles.

Free Pick:

  • Non-USA (-140)
