It’s the week of the Open Championship, and the betting is ramping up ahead of the final major of the season.
Of course, whenever Tiger Woods is part of a tournament field, you know he’ll receive a significant portion of the action. That’s no different for The Open, as Woods is the biggest liability for BetMGM.
He’s gotten 5.8% of the tickets and accounts for 8.4% of the handle, despite his odds moving from an opening number of +4000 to +6600, where it currently stands.
Rory McIlroy is the most popular golfer for bettors this week, receiving 7.7% of the betting tickets and accounting for 13.1% of the handle.
The heavy action has moved his price from +1400 to +1000.
