 Online Golf Betting Preps for Open Championship Mike DavisThe third major online golf betting tournament is right around the corner. The 146th British Open, colloquially referred to as the Open Championship, will commence this upcoming Thursday. On that date, all sportsbook eyes will flock to Southport, England, where Henrik Stenson – the reigning champion, will try to defend his hard earned title. Unfortunately for the Swede, most online golf betting lines aren’t giving him much of a shot in 2017. Stenson doesn’t have the worst odds of the field, but he certainly isn’t the favorite. In fact, Dustin Johnson, Hideki Matsuyama, Jordan Spieth, and Justin Rose are all facing better odds than the reigning champ. However, heading into this tournament, most players who bet on golf feel that Dustin Johnson, who is facing some of the best odds of the field, won’t even be able to crack the top 5. However, Hideki Matsuyama and Tommy Fleetwood are considered some of the best sportsbook picks available. Players interested in reviewing individual odds can find the complete listings down below. 2017 Open Championship – Odds to Win Tournament When: July 20th-23rd Where: Royal Birkdale Golf Club, Southport, England TV: Golf Channel Stream: Open Live Coverage Adam Scott + 2525 Andy Sullivan + 12500 Anirban Lahiri + 44500 Bill Haas + 18500 Branden Grace + 5050 Brandt Snedeker + 9050 Brooks Koepka + 3850 Bubba Watson + 30000 Byeong-Hun An + 22500 Charl Schwartzel + 10000 Charley Hoffman + 22500 Daniel Berger + 10000 Danny Willet + 52500 Darren Clarke + 65100 David Duval + 65100 Dustin Johnson + 1385 Emiliano Grillo + 32500 Ernie Els + 42500 Henrik Stenson + 2525 Hideki Matsuyama + 1985 Ian Poulter + 9050 J.B.
