As I normally do on Tuesday of Open Championship week, I spent some time this morning looking at the odds for the showdown at Royal Troon. Naturally, Scottie Scheffler – a six-time 2024 PGA Tour winner and The Masters and Players Champion – leads the way, but there in second place sits Rory McIlroy.
Despite his ongoing Major drought, this is, of course, nothing new. But I’m becoming increasingly bemused by bookmakers’ modelling and the fact so many people still choose to back him – the two things that determine pricing.
