Sign up to DraftKings Sportsbook today for this absolute no-brainer of an offer!

Top American Player

Jordan Spieth (+1000 w/ PointsBet)
Bet $10, win $100

This one shouldn't take too much explaining. We love Jordan here and Jordan loves playing links courses!

Our top pick for the Open Championship is Spaniard Jon Rahm, with Spieth coming in second, meaning we've got him placing as the top American.

Four stars to make the cut

Rahm, Koepka, Schauffele and Spieth (-110 w/ BetMGM)
Bet $50, win $95.45

One of our favorite markets that any of the books offer, this bet looks extremely safe! As above, Rahm and Spieth are out top two picks this week, and then we've got Brooks and Xander who are some of the best major performers of the last five years!

As you can see below, BetMGM actually has a few more of these parlays that you may be a fan of!

Will there be a playoff?

Yes (+350 w/ PointsBet)
Bet $10, win $35

Another bet that seems to come up in these major previews every time, it's again here mostly out of hope, because, heck, who doesn't want this tournament to end in a playoff?!

We've had a couple of incredible playoffs on the PGA Tour of late too, including the below that went for 8(!!) holes.

Two young guns to finish in the Top-10

Viktor Hovland and Collin Morikawa (+1200 w/ BetMGM)
Bet $10, win $120

Two of the hottest young golfers on the planet feature in this bet, with our best value bet Viktor Hovland paired up with DimersBOT's best value Collin Morikawa!

These odds looks GREAT for the two to shine and finish Top-10.

Top rest of world player

Marc Leishman (+900 w/ PointsBet)
Bet $10, win $90

In a bet that features every player not from the US or Europe, Marc Leishman stands out big time! With the tournament set to be played on a links course, a host of Aussies could feature highly on the leaderboard and in this betting market, but it's Leishman that we're backing in to outperform them all.

The winner to be English

Yes (+650 w/ BetMGM)
Bet $10, win $65

A bit of an omen bet here, but why can't we have an English winner on their home soil this weekend? They recently missed out a soccer trophy in the Euros, but Tyrrell Hatton or Matt Fitzpatrick winning the Open Championship could go a small way to making up for it.

Another bet in a similar market that we don't mind is for a South African to win (+1600) with both Garrick Higgo and Louis Oosthuizen in good form.

First Round leader

Lee Westwood (+5000 w/ PointsBet)
Bet $10, win $500

Last but not least, we have another English-based bet, where we're taking 48-year-old Lee Westwood to be the leader after Thursday's play.

If Westwood fails to lift the Claret Jug on Sunday, we will take the record for most majors without a win, and sadly we can see him getting off to a hot start, becoming the story, and then falling short again.
