Heading into his seventh year since his last major title, Mickelson has the same odds as Chez Reavie, Ian Poulter and Matt Wallace to win one in 2020. He’ll turn 50 years old in mid-June, and he faded down the stretch in 2019, after claiming career victory No. 44 at Pebble Beach.

Mickelson’s best odds unsurprisingly come at Augusta National, where he has three of his five career major victories. His worst odds come at Royal St. George’s, where he tied for second in the 2011 Open Championship.

Lefty’s best major result last season was a T-18 finish at Augusta in April. He missed the cut at The Open and has now missed the weekend in four of his last 10 major appearances. He’s worth a small-unit wager as a longshot at The Open based on his past success at the venue, but he should be avoided everywhere else with less appealing odds.
