The top 10 betting favorites for the 2023 Open Championship at Royal Liverpool

It all comes down to this, the final men’s major championship of 2023.

The best players in the world are set to take on Royal Liverpool for the 151st Open Championship from July 20-23.

Cameron Smith, a member of the LIV Golf League, is the reigning Champion Golfer of the Year thanks to his come-from-behind victory at St. Andrews over Cam Young and Rory McIlroy.

Smith has made the cut in all three majors so far this year, tying for 34th at the Masters, for ninth at the PGA and finishing solo fourth at the U.S. Open.

McIlroy, who grabbed solo second at Los Angeles Country Club and is looking for his first major win since the 2014 Open, which was held at Royal Liverpool, is the betting favorite at +750.

Here are the top 10 betting favorites for the 151st Open.
