The Open Championship: To Finish in Top 10 Picks

One of the most prestigious events on the sporting calendar is set for Royal Portrush this weekend, as The Open Championship is staged in Northern Ireland. However, aside from betting on the outright winner of the major, there could also be value in wagering on players to finish in the top 10. You can find our picks here.


Robert MacIntyre

Robert MacIntyre’s emergence on the major stage arrived back in 2019 when Portrush previously held The Open, as the Scotsman finished in a tie for sixth.

Since then, he has finished in the top ten on three previous majors, including a runner-up finish at the U.S. Open earlier this year. A standout year on the PGA Tour has already seen the Scot finish in the top 15 on seven occasions this calendar year.

Free Pick:

  • Robert MacIntyre (+400)

Sepp Straka

We have previously put Sepp Straka up for another major this season, and we still feel as though there is a big performance in him under the brightest lights.

The Austrian has enjoyed a standout year on the PGA Tour this season, finishing seventh at the Scottish Open last weekend to take his tally for top-ten finishes to six in 2025. He has already shown his ability at The Open, taking T2 at the major in 2023.

Free Pick:

  • Sepp Straka (+500)

Brooks Koepka

A LIV player that could go under the radar this weekend is Brooks Koepka. He finally looked back to his best at last month’s U.S. Open when taking a share of 12th.

Koepka has achieved some notable past performances at The Open, including a T4 finish when it was last played at Portrush in 2019. A strong start will be required to keep him in contention, but his experience at the course could ensure that he is a lively outsider.

Free Pick:

  • Brooks Koepka (+800)
