Rory McIlroy 2022 British Open Odds, Betting Preview, and Predictions
Rory McIlroy 2022 British Open Odds, Betting Preview, and Predictions
Will Rory McIlroy win his fifth major championship this weekend at the British Open? The oddsmakers surely think so, as the Northern Ireland star is the current odds-on favorite to win the 150th iteration of the annual major tournament.
While standing as the favorite for this weekend's event, McIlroy will be looking for his first major title since he won back-to-back majors in 2014 when he won that year's British Open and would follow it up by winning the PGA Championship just one month later.
If you're looking for a bit of a safer bet on McIlroy, perhaps you'd be keen to take a look at some prop bets for the four-time major champion. Let's take a look at some props for McIlroy when it comes to this weekend's British Open.
Rory McIlroy British Open Odds
| Bet | Odds | Implied Chance |
|---|---|---|
| To Win | +1000 | 9.1% |
| Top 5 Finish | +270 | 27% |
| Top 10 Finish | +130 | 43.5% |
Rory McIlroy British Open Odds: Winner (+1000) (Bet $100 To Win $1100)
It's always interesting when there's not anyone in the field with better odds than +1000, but that seems always to be the case when it comes to the British Open. McIlroy has been on decent form as of late as he's finished in the top five of his past seven events, including a second-place finish at this year's Masters as well as his lone win of 2022 last month at the RBC Canadian Open.
Rory McIlroy British Open Odds: Top 5 Finish (+270) (Bet $100 To Win $270)
As previously mentioned, McIlroy has finished in the top five in five of his past seven tournaments. However, McIlroy has seen a bit of a mixed bag of finishes at the British Open as the Northern Irishman finished 46th in last year's tournament, after finishing 74th two years prior in 2019, which comes after his 2nd place finish in 2018. The 2020 edition of the tournament was canceled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Rory McIlroy British Open Odds: Top 10 Finish (+130) (Bet $100 To Win $130)
When it comes to a perhaps more safe option while betting on McIlroy this weekend, perhaps putting some action on him finishing in the top 10 would suffice. McIlroy has been money [pun intended] when finishing in the top 10 in majors this year as he finished 2nd at the Masters, 8th at the PGA Championship, and most recently, 5th at the U.S. Open last month.
