It's the week of the Open Championship, and the betting is ramping up ahead of the final major of the season.
Of course, whenever Tiger Woods is part of a tournament field, you know he'll receive a significant portion of the action. That's no different for The Open, as Woods is the biggest liability for BetMGM.
He's gotten 5.8% of the tickets and accounts for 8.4% of the handle, despite his odds moving from an opening number of +4000 to +6600, where it currently stands.
Rory McIlroy is the most popular golfer for bettors this week, receiving 7.7% of the betting tickets and accounting for 13.1% of the handle.
The heavy action has moved his price from +1400 to +1000.
Last year's champion, Collin Morikawa, opened at +3000 before the start of the tournament, but he only accounts for 3.2% of the betting tickets and 2.6% of the handle at +2500.
Other popular picks include Jordan Spieth, who has attracted 5.6% of the tickets and 8.1% of the handle. Spieth had a strong showing at the Scottish Open, where he posted a T-10 finish.
The champion at the Scottish Open, Xander Schauffele, is the second favorite for this week's Major, listed at +1400. Schauffele is accounting for 5.0% of the tickets and 7.1% of the handle.
Jon Rahm originally opened as the favorite when original odds came out, but poor play over recent events has doubled his odds from +900 to +1800. He's only gotten 3.7% of the tickets and 4.2% of the handle.
