In past years, sportsbooks have not updated odds for major championships until the Monday morning before the tournament begins. That meant there was immense value to be found the Saturday and Sunday prior, since the odds will have been up for months.
Well, most have gotten smart and are now all over it. For example, BetMGM’s Open Championship market saw a significant change overnight into Sunday morning. Xander Schauffele, who had the 54-hole lead and subsequently won the Scottish Open, went from 22-1 to 16-1. Matt Fitzpatrick and Jordan Spieth also went down to 16-1, while Bryson DeChambeau (33-1 up to 50-1) and others saw significant movement.
There’s still value to be found, though. Sportsbooks might be on their numbers sooner, but the market hasn’t fully taken shape. The public’s favorites for the week are unknown at this point, as well as the players people will have no interest in.
For now, our staff of GolfBet writers has its eyes on some who still have value heading to St. Andrews — and may even gain more as the week progresses.
Check out the players we’re betting right away on Sunday following the Scottish Open below.
2022 Open Championship Picks
Cameron Smith +2500 (BetRivers, BetMGM)
Matt Vincenzi:I do believe this number could get to +3000 by the time The Open rolls around, but the +2500 still offers some value.
Smith was solid at the Scottish Open, but a poor second round kept him from ever getting in contention. However, the fact that he only shot one over-par round shows me he is acclimating well to links golf, which is something he hasn't done as often as I'd expect throughout his career.
The Old Course should suit this year's PLAYERS Championship winner in a number of ways.
To succeed, golfers will need to scramble effectively. With massive greens, there will need to be a good deal of creativity involved. There are few on TOUR who check more of these boxes than Smith. In his past 36 rounds, the 28-year-old ranks fourth in Strokes Gained: Short Game which includes both around the green play and putting. Smith also ranks 10th in the field in three-putt avoidance, which will most definitely come into play.
Wind will also most likely be a factor at this year's Open Championship. In his past 24 rounds, Smith is the second-best wind player in the field.
We’ve seen a good deal of crossover over the years with golfers who’ve excelled at St. Andrews and Augusta National. The Australian’s last three trips to the Masters have resulted in finishes of second, 10th and third.
Smith is the highest ranked player in the world without a major championship (sixth in OWGR, as of Sunday morning), and The Old Course at St. Andrews should be a perfect course for Smith to become the third Australian to win at this historic venue.
Max Homa +8000 (WynnBet, BetMGM)
Chris Murphy: It's always interesting to get a read on how some players, Americans in particular, will play on links-style courses. Max Homa was one I had my eye on this week at the Scottish Open, and he certainly hasn't disappointed.
Homa started Sunday looking like he was going to potentially work his way into the top 10. His number is holding firm, though, with multiple books still at 80-1 as of Sunday morning. That presents great value for a player who's striking it well and continues to be underpriced despite the immense winning upside he has shown this year, having won twice this season on the PGA TOUR.
