The final men’s major of 2021 is finally here, and Jon Rahm is the favorite to win a second major in a row at the Open Championship. He is listed at 9/1 odds according to golfodds.com.
Rahm won last month’s U.S. Open and will look to become the first back-to-back major winner since Jordan Spieth in 2015.
Just behind Rahm is Koepka and Xander Schauffele, each with 16/1 odds to win the Claret Jug at Royal St. George’s. Koepka is looking for his first major win since 2019, while Schauffele hopes to finally claim his first major victory.
Rory McIlroy and Justin Thomas own the next-best odds at 18/1, with Dustin Johnson and Jordan Spieth coming in at 20/1 odds.
