Only two players have better than 10-1 odds to win the British Open — or is it The Open or The Open Championship? Whatever you want to call it, the favorites are, as expected, Scottie Scheffler (+500) and Rory McIlroy (+700).
If weather is a factor, one of them could have an advantage depending on when it's better, as Scheffler will go out early on Thursday, McIlroy later (and vice versa on Friday). Currently, the forecast for Thursday's Round 1 is rain in the morning, rain in the afternoon, with wind blowing just a bit throughout the day.
Round 1 of the 153rd Open Championship begins at 1:35 a.m. ET Thursday morning.
