British Open Tips
St Andrews hosts the Open Championship in July, the 150th edition of golf's oldest major tournament. Our experts will be studying the form close to the tournament to provide Open Championship betting tips. We'll look at recent form of the qualifiers plus any course and tournament form they might have that make their Open Championship odds stand out.
- Garcia is as much a price play as anything this week. Major champion with 30 other titles to boot, he’s one of the class acts in the field.
- Wolff returned from a 10 week hiatus at the US Open 5 weeks ago and looked in fantastic shape at times throughout that week, particularly on the greens and off the tee, culminating in a higher than expected 15th place finish
- Just one missed cut in his last seven events, he’s also recorded his two highest finishes since he finished 12th here last year. A 13th place finish in his home state in the Memorial Tournament in July, he then followed a few solid if unspectacular weeks with an 11th place finish in the Barbasol Championship last week, where he shot every round in the 60s
- Has hit the top 50 in the world for the first time in his career earlier this year and is enjoying another solid year, making four cuts on the bounce including at the US and British Open
- A fearless, aggressive birdie machine who has plenty of scope to make a career for himself at this level. He has a game perfectly suited for this and with his results at this level trending perfectly in three starts, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see him go one step further and enter the winner’s circle early on, on the PGA Tour
Frequently asked questions when it comes to betting on the Open Championship golf:
When is the Open Championship being played?
The 150th Open Championship is scheduled to take place between Thursday 14th July - Sunday 17th July 2022.
What type of player profile wins the British Open?
The Open Championship, or British Open as it's also know, is unique to other major tournaments as it's always played on a links course. That being the case there are definite players who thrive in links conditions, which are usually windy with slow greens and tight lies. This doesn't necessarily rule out players with little experience of playing on UK links courses before as there have been plenty of exceptions.
The tournament is played over a circuit of ten different courses (listed below), each differ in characteristic and difficulty. Pot bunkers and the elements are the courses' biggest defence and on benign days weather-wise scoring can be good.
Rough can be sparse at some courses but 'out of bounds' comes into play a lot and the fairway bunkers are designed to catch out players who don't have good course management.
As with any major, the favourites have their fair share of wins in The Open, but there have also been some winners at big odds including Todd Hamilton in 2004 and Paul Lawrie in 1999.
