British Open 2024: Field Odds, Favorites and Tournament Preview

The final men's golf major of 2024 starts Thursday at Royal Troon.

Scottie Scheffler is favored to win a major for the fourth time this season, but he only has one major title in 2024.

Scheffler is in the best form of any golfer in the world, but he has not finished inside the top 20 in his last two British Open appearances.

Rory McIlroy, the second favorite, has come close to winning multiple majors in the last year. The British Open will be his first major tournament appearance after putting away the U.S. Open title that went to Bryson DeChambeau last month.
