WATCH: Open Championship Odds, Bets On Former Winners: Spieth, Mickelson, Etc.

ThePostGame runs down odds for former winners at the 2021 Open Championship.

The winner of the 2015 British Open, Zach Johnson, won’t be in the mix this year, as he had to withdraw after testing positive for COVID-19. But if you value championship experience, there are plenty of other former British Open winners to back this week.

Among the recent winners, Jordan Spieth (2017) has the most favorable prospects at +1800. Check out the prices on other former champs, including Phil Mickelson, and go to BetMGM for the most updated odds.
