2024 British Open Bettors’ Roundtable: Favorites, Sleepers, Props and Best Bets for Royal Troon

Central characters this week: Scheffler, McIlroy, DeChambeau and Aberg. | USA Today

The 2024 British Open has arrived, and the fourth major of the season is packed with storylines and an elite field as the week kicks off at Royal Troon. Here to break it down we have once again convened a panel of Sports Illustrated golf writers and editors: Bob Harig, John Schwarb and Jeff Ritter, along with Iain MacMillan, a betting expert from our partners at FanSided. And for even more firepower, we have again added two heavy hitters from Rotowire’s fantasy golf and gambling coverage: Len Hochberg and Greg Vara. Onto Troon. 

Like the previous three majors, Scottie Scheffler enters the week as the clear favorite. He’s at +450 on DraftKings. Rory McIlroy (+700) is the second choice, followed by Xander Schauffele (+1100), Ludvig Aberg (+1200) and Bryson DeChambeau (+1400). Do the books have the right top five?
