Odds to win The Open Championship 2021
There is nothing more important to a sports bettor than getting the best odds, which is why it is important to shop around when betting on golf. Arguably, it is the most important when wagering on golf because of the nature of the sport. For example, the majority of golf bettors wager on outrights for a player to win a given event, but at long odds. This means you could get anywhere from +1200 to +1700 for a given golfer. Since it is tough to pick winners in golf (hence the long odds), you want to maximize your return when you do hit.
Each week, we will provide the opening odds and current odds for the PGA event that week, which gives you the best chance at finding value when placing your bets.
