Golf’s final major of the year is here. The Open Championship, also known as the British Open, kicks off Thursday at Royal St. George's Golf Club in Sandwich, Kent, England. The last Open contested at this course was in 2011, won by Darren Clarke, and before that Ben Curtis won in 2003.
After being canceled in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Shane Lowry (+4000) returns to defend his 2019 title, when he won the first major of his career at Royal Portrush.
The Open Championship will have 156 players in the field, with Jon Rahm set as the +750 favorite to win at BetMGM followed by Brooks Koepka (+1400), Xander Schauffele (+1600), Jordan Spieth (+1800), and Justin Thomas (+2000).
