The favorite Scottie Scheffler (+450), the No. 1 golfer in the world, comes into The Open after finishing T8 at the Scottish Open last week. Scheffler, with three majors under his belt, has never won The Open. His best finish was a tie for seventh in the 2024 tournament.
Rory McIlroy is second on the board at +700. And bettors looking to back a hometown guy might want to note that McIlroy is from Northern Ireland. The No. 2 golfer McIlroy has won five majors over the course of his career, including the 2025 Masters. He tied for second at the Scottish Open last week.
A familiar name a little bit further down the board is Jordan Spieth at +5500. He's got four top 10 finishes this season and is currently ranked No. 47 in the world. The Texan won the Open at Royal Birkdale in 2017.

'Aspirational' Scottie Scheffler Inspires LPGA Star with Approach to Golf, Life
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Scottie Scheffler continued his amazing run last weekend by winning the Open Championship at Royal Portrush. However, his time in Northern Ireland has been as significant for his performance inside the courts as for the things he said. His approach to the part golf plays in his life has been seen as a role model by many of his peers, though others have not seen it the same way. Among the former is LPGA Tour star Lauren Coughlin, who will be defending her Women's Scottish Open title this week. Lauren Coughlin of Team United States plays her shot from the 11th tee during the Friday Foursomes matches against Team Europe during the first round of the Solheim Cup 2024 at Robert Trent Jones Golf...

More Getty Images/Gregory Shamus From the iconic Dundonald Links, the venue for the event, Coughlin described how what Scheffler said aligns with her idea of balance between golf and the rest of her life. "I think his perspective is very unique, and I feel like something that we should aspire to," she said, according to the transcripts of her pre-tournament press conference. "You know, just the whole gratitude and his worth isn't defined by him as a golfer. It's defined by him as a husband and a father, and it's definitely, like, very aspirational to be. "I want to be a good wife and hopefully a good friend and hopefully a good mom some day, and to not be so into, like, your identity as a golfer. That's really hard, and it's definitely something I struggle with at times. It's something that we care so much about and we want to do so well. But hearing him say some of those things, you can kind of learn some things from him." We can all learn something from Scottie 👏 — LPGA (@LPGA) July 22, 2025 Before beginning his performance at the Open Championship, Scheffler reflected on the role golf plays in his life. He stated that being a good husband and father is much more important to him than winning tournaments. Coughlin began her professional career in 2016, but her breakthrough season came last year, when she won the CPKC Women's Open and the Women's Scottish Open, her first two LPGA Tour victories. Other impressive results included her third-place finish at the Chevron Championship and her fourth-place finish at the Amundi Evian Championship. These results led her to the American team in the Solheim Cup, where she contributed 3.5 points in four matches to the victory over Team Europe.

Notable college football analyst is 'selling' Wisconsin entering 2025 season
Wisconsin is one team that Fox Sports analyst Joel Klatt is selling entering the 2025 football season. In the latest episode of his podcast, Klatt unveiled five college football teams he's buying stock in, then the five that he's selling. The Badgers were one of his five 'sells,' along with Tennessee, Syracuse, BYU and California. Notably, he's buying two of Wisconsin's upcoming opponents in Michigan and Washington, as well as Clemson, Utah and North Carolina. Wisconsin's standing is complicated entering the 2025 campaign. On one hand, the program made clear improvements, both on the roster and coaching staff. A loaded transfer class rebuilt the program's defensive line rotation, edge-rusher group and quarterback room. New offensive coordinator Jeff Grimes is also set to return the program to its pro-style roots after its ill-advised move to the air raid offense back in 2023. Klatt discusses those positive changes in his description of why he's selling the Badgers. However, one variable continues to anchor the team: the nation's top-ranked schedule. Here's what Klatt had to say: I want to be really clear. I think Luke Fickell is an excellent football coach, I really do. I'm hoping that this works out for him. And I actually think that Wisconsin could be a better team, roster-wise, this year than they were last year. But here's the problem. I don't know if that shows up in the win-loss column this year. This is one of the most difficult schedules in the still have to be better than the teams that they play. They could be underdogs in nine of their 12 games this year. Think about that... At Alabama, good luck. At Michigan. Ohio State. Oregon. Indiana. Illinois. Not to mention, they still have to play a home game against Iowa, a home game against Washington, they're at Minnesota. You look at that schedule, and I don't know if they win three games. So for this year...I can make a strong argument that Wisconsin can be a better team, but it's not going to show up in the win-loss column. That's a sell all day not about the size of the hole [that Wisconsin is in], it's about whether you can climb out of it. This is going to be a tough climb this year.
