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.

WATCH: 2021 Open Championship Odds On Jon Rahm, Brooks Koepka, Xander Schauffele, Jordan Spieth

The Post Game checks out odds for top contenders at the 2021 Open Championship.

U.S. Open champion Jon Rahm is the favorite for the 2021 Open Championship at Royal St. George’s. But history might not be on Rahm’s side. No golfer has won the U.S. and the British in the same year since Tiger Woods in 2000. And before that, you’ll have to dig through the record books to 1982 when Tom Watson pulled off this parlay.

If it’s any consolation to Rahm, the other two major champions from this year don’t have nearly quite the same bright outlook. Masters champ Hideki Matsuyama withdrew after testing positive for COVID-19, and PGA Championship winner Phil Mickelson doesn’t even crack the top three dozen players on the board for the Open at +8000. Check BetMGM for the most updated odds.
