Top 5 Finish Props – Familiar Faces Draw Heavy Action

• Rory McIlroy (+140)
  
  The home-country narrative is strong, and so is Rory’s form. After a T-2 finish at the Scottish Open and elite putting metrics (sixth in putting average, fourth in SG: Putting), bettors love his chances to climb the leaderboard again.

• Jon Rahm (+230)
  
  With three top-7 finishes in his last four Open appearances and strong LIV and PGA form, Rahm continues to earn the public’s trust on links layouts.

• Scottie Scheffler (-110)
  
  The betting favorite for a reason, Scheffler ranks No. 1 in SG: Total (+2.640) and SG: Approach (+1.298), making a Top 5 finish feel nearly automatic.

• Viktor Hovland (+500)
  
  Bettors are banking on Hovland’s elite ball-striking to show up at Portrush. While form has been inconsistent, value seekers are latching on.

• Tommy Fleetwood (+450)
  
  Another fan favorite in UK conditions, Fleetwood’s consistent Open pedigree (two Top 5 finishes since 2019) is hard to ignore.

Top 10 Finish Props – Fleetwood and Schauffele Surge

• Tommy Fleetwood (+225)
  
  Already one of the most bet Top 5 picks, Fleetwood doubles up with strong support in the Top 10 market as well. His Open history and recent play justify the love.

• Jon Rahm (+110)
  
  A short number, but still heavily backed. Rahm’s proven links, resume, and consistent major performances make him a go-to name.

• Xander Schauffele (+225)
  
  The defending Open champ enters with strong iron numbers and momentum from a 9-under showing at the Scottish Open. Xander has also never missed a cut at The Open (7-for-7).

• Viktor Hovland (+250)
  
  The Norwegian continues to attract support at multiple finishing levels—proof that bettors believe in his upside despite recent struggles.

• Justin Rose (+400)
  
  The veteran Brit’s odds bring value, and bettors are hoping his savvy links experience and steady form can sneak him inside the top 10.

Top 20 Finish Props – Hall, Fleetwood, and Straka Lead the Way

• Harry Hall (+300)
  
  Hall has emerged as a surprise betting favorite in this range. The Englishman’s consistent play this season and home-region familiarity offer longshot appeal.

• Xander Schauffele (+110)
  
  Already well-backed in the Top 10, Xander’s floor is high enough for bettors to grab plus-money value in the Top 20 market.

• Sepp Straka (+175)
  
  Quietly reliable, Straka’s all-around consistency is drawing eyes from bettors looking for safety and value in the middle tier.

• Tommy Fleetwood (+105)
  
  Sweeping across all markets, Fleetwood has the trust of the betting public at every finishing level.

• Viktor Hovland (+125)
  
  Like Fleetwood, Hovland is featured in nearly every prop tier, confirming his role as a high-variance yet popular bet.

Top 40 Finish Props – Longshots Gaining Steam

• Harry Hall (+100)
  
  Back again! Hall is the only player listed in both the Top 20 and Top 40 most-bet categories, showing strong public faith in his game this week.

• Patrick Reed (+110)
  
  A grinder in majors, Reed has the type of short game that can thrive in tough Open conditions, making him a quiet value play.

• Ryan Fox (+100)
  
  Known for thriving in windy conditions, Fox is built for Portrush and offers great Top 40 security for bettors.

• Marco Penge (+125)
  
  A relatively unknown name, Penge’s local edge and form on UK circuits have earned him a spike in betting activity.

• Ben Griffin (+100)
  
  Griffin’s season has been up and down, but he’s consistently made cuts and quietly put up solid finishes—making him a sneaky value pick.
