Breaking down the 12 best bets ahead of the 2021 British Open

Here’s who you should put money on.

The Open Championship — or, as it’s called, the British Open — is here, and that’s doubly awesome because it’s the last major of the year and the 2020 edition was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

So it’s time, as always, for us to make our picks based on the odds in the hopes we can make you some money.

As a reminder: We pick players with short odds (up to 20/1), medium odds (21/1 to 99/1) and we dive deep to take longshots (100/1 and above) who could come out of relative obscurity (does defending champ Shane Lowry count?) and win in the U.K.
