The 148th British Open begins three weeks from Thursday at Royal Portrush as it returns to Northern Ireland for the first time since 1951.
Northern Ireland natives Rory McIlroy and Graeme McDowell will undoubtedly enjoy fan-favorite status in the galleries. Among oddsmakers, including those at the Las Vegas SuperBook and golfodds.com, McIlroy is gaining favor as well, moving to 8-1 to win this week from 10-1 last week.
Brooks Koepka remains a slim betting favorite, edging back to 7-1 this week from 6-1 a week ago. Koepka has won three of the past five majors and missed finished second in the two others.
McDowell is holding as a 50-1 shot on his home course. Gary Woodland is the same price to win his second consecutive major.
Tiger Woods, who will likely not play again until Royal Portrush, joins Dustin Johnson at 14-1.
Here are the complete player-to-win odds for the golfers expected to play in the 2019 British Open.
