Here are the live British Open odds from our best golf betting sites, which will update in real time up to and throughout the 2025 tournament at Royal Portrush.
McIlroy, still No. 2 in the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR), has been slumping since winning the Masters and (finally) completing the career grand slam. He hasn't finished better than T-7 in four events since that monumental victory, including finishes of T-47 in the PGA Championship and T-19 in the U.S. Open.
Following the U.S. Open, where he was visibly frustrated - and at times disinterested - he spoke on a lack of motivation since winning the Masters:
"If I can't get motivated to get up for an Open Championship at home, then I don't know what can motivate me ... I climbed my Everest in April, and I think after you do something like that, you've got to make your way back down, and you've got to look for another mountain to climb. An Open at Portrush is certainly one of those," McIlroy said, via Golf.com.
McIlroy missed the cut the last time The Open was played in his home country. He has top finishes of third (2022) and T-6 (2023) in the British Open since, but he missed the cut last year. I'd expect him to still close as the betting favorite to win the 2025 British Open, and +650 is likely to be the best number we see over the next month.
