British Open 2025 odds, betting, lines: Scottie Scheffler is Open's biggest favorite since 2015
He has the shortest odds heading into a British Open since Jordan Spieth was also +500 in 2015, according to Sports Odds History's database. Spieth finished tied for fourth in that tournament, which Zach Johnson won in a playoff.

Scheffler, the top-ranked player in the world, has three wins on Tour this year, including a major victory at the 2025 PGA Championship. Scheffler finished tied for seventh in last month's U.S. Open and has finished in the top 10 in nine consecutive tournaments.
Rory McIlory (+650), the 2025 Masters champion, is the only other golfer with single-digit odds.
Not shockingly, Scheffler is the most-bet player by total wagers (14.1%) and total dollars wagered (20.6%) at BetMGM. He also represents the biggest liability for the sportsbook of any golfer.
Jon Rahm (12-1), who has four top-11 finishes in the British Open, has the next-best odds at 12-1, followed by Bryson DeChambeau (20-1). Ludvig Aberg, Shane Lowry, Tyrell Hatton and defending Open champion Xander Schauffele all have 22-1 odds.

Jordan Spieth (45-1), Adam Scott (50-1), Jason Day (80-1), Dustin Johnson (150-1) and Phil Mickelson (400-1) are a few former major winners with longer odds.
J.J. Spaun, the remarkable long-shot winner of the 2025 U.S. Open, has 150-1 odds to win.

Golf in a hangar? DeChambeau's woes at the British Open get 'The Scientist' thinking

(AP Photo/Jon Super) PORTRUSH, Northern Ireland (AP) — As a popular YouTuber and golfing enigma, Bryson DeChambeau is known for coming up with some wacky, radical ideas. 'The Scientist' might have another one in the pipeline. Advertisement 'This is going to be wild,' DeChambeau proffered at the British Open on Tuesday, 'but imagine a scenario where you've got a 400-yard tent, and you can just hit any type of shot with any wind with all the fans. 'That's what I imagine, like in a hangar or something like that. A big stadium. That would be cool to test.' Don't put it past DeChambeau to go through with it. After all, he's open to anything if it means improving his patchy record at golf's oldest major championship. The 31-year-old American has played seven times at the Open Championship, where handling the fickle weather can be the key to success. He missed the cut on three occasions and only finished inside the top 30 once. Advertisement It's a record that frustrates one of the sport's deeper thinkers. He remembers playing well at the Walker Cup at Royal Lytham St. Anne's — one of the courses on the British Open rotation — back in 2015, and was quick to point out he coped fine in windy conditions in LIV Golf events in Miami and Valderrama this year. Place him in the British Open, though, and he can get blown away — like last year at Royal Troon, when he shot 76-75 to miss the cut and said afterward: 'I can do it when it's warm and not windy.' 'The times I've been over here, for some reason, my golf swing hasn't been where it needs to be,' DeChambeau said Tuesday. 'Right now it feels as good as it's ever been. Hitting it far, hitting it straight as I can, and learning how to putt better on these greens in windy conditions and rain and all that. 'It's just figuring it out. It's just going to take time and something that I never really experienced growing up in California.' Advertisement Lifting the claret jug — as unlikely as it would be, given his Open woes — would deliver the two-time U.S. Open champion a third major title and no doubt boost the already-swelling audience on his YouTube channel that has risen to more than 2 million subscribers. His popularity is clear over in Northern Ireland, too. Late Monday, dozens of people — mostly kids — were seen waiting outside Portrush to get a photo with, or the autograph of, DeChambeau. He obliged, happily. DeChambeau is using YouTube to have some fun and to show the world a different side to him. He even suggested it's just as important as the results he gets. Advertisement 'I'm not going to be here forever,' he said. 'What footprint do I want to leave? I think it humbles me and almost makes me more passionate about what I'm doing off the professional golf course. 'Am I going to get frustrated playing bad golf?" he posed. "Yeah. Am I going to want to still sign autographs? Yeah, because I care about the game.' That's not to say he doesn't still have a burning desire to win at Portrush this week — and secure a result that will impress Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley in the process, ahead of the match against Europe in September. 'I feel pressure every week to play good for not only Keegan, but myself, and the people that I love online and everybody that's watching me," DeChambeau said. 'I'll walk through the fire,' he added, 'rather than run away from it.' ___ AP golf:

Jordan Nobbs, record WSL appearance-holder, completes Newcastle transfer
WSL 2 side Newcastle United have completed the signing of Jordan Nobbs, the record appearance-holder in the Women's Super League (WSL). The midfielder spent 15 seasons in the top level of English women's football, making 208 WSL appearances across spells at Arsenal and Aston Villa. Upon completing her move to Newcastle, Nobbs said: 'I think they are a very ambitious club and, speaking to everyone, the goal is to get promoted and push women's football in the north east. I want to be part of that. 'I've always had a winning mentality, and it's the same mentality here, every game is like a cup final. I want to be part of a successful club that push to the next level.' Nobbs joined Villa in January 2023 after 13 years with Arsenal, where she won 12 trophies including three WSL titles and four FA Cups. The 32-year-old has played 71 times for England, with her most recent call-up in 2023. In 2024-25, Newcastle finished fifth in WSL 2 following their promotion from the third tier. ()
