The fourth and final major championship of the year is taking place at Royal Troon in Scotland, with British Open odds on the move since yesterday's conclusion of the Scottish Open. 

The odds once again point to Scottie Scheffler but a handful of others find themselves with odds shorter than 20/1. Find out who in our Monday British Open odds update below.

2024 Open Championship odds analysis

Another major championship, another odds board that sees World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler pulling away from the pack. He's fetching prices in the +400 to +500 range, well clear of Rory McIlroy (+800) in second and the rest of the Top 5. 

The biggest mover inside the Top 5 is Ludvig Aberg, who was as long as 18/1 three weeks ago but is now on the board as short as 9/1 at Caesars and 12/1 at bet365. Those odds have him running beside Xander Schauffele (12/1 to 14/1) inside the Top 5, with U.S. Open champ Bryson DeChambeau next on the board at 16/1. 2021 Open champ Collin Morikawa is also available at 16/1.

Scottie Scheffler odds

It's nothing new for Scottie Scheffler, who heads to Royal Troon on a run that's seen him win six times in his last 10 starts. Caesars is offering the shortest price at +400 but the two-time Masters champ can also be had as long as +550 at BetMGM and BetRivers.

He's played The Open three times in his career to the tune of a T8 finish and two other Top 25s. That would make this the weakest major for him statistically but we know his game travels as well as anyone's. 

Rory McIlroy odds

Following what might be the most devastating loss of his career at Pinehurst in June, Rory McIlroy took about a month off before getting back in the saddle at the Scottish Open last week. He finished T4 in what was good prep ahead of Royal Troon, where he's on the board as a consensus No. 2 favorite in the +750 to +800 range.

He's had a ton of success here at The Open, with a win and five other Top-6 finishes over his last eight tries in a run that also includes a T5 here at Royal Troon in 2016.

Xander Schauffele odds

Xander Schauffele has continued to be a consistent force since breaking through at the PGA Championship in May, logging two Top 10s and two more Top 15s in four starts since. His odds have steadied as a result, with the World No. 3 listed between +1,200 and +1,400 as of Monday afternoon.

He finished runner-up at the 2018 Open and has four total Top 20s in six career Open tries. 

Tiger Woods odds

While Tiger Woods made the cut at Augusta, he also lost strokes putting, on approach, and off the tee. He finished dead last of those who made the cut then went on to miss the cut at the PGA Championship and U.S. Open. 

He's played the Open just once since 2019 and hasn't made the cut here since 2018. All that to say: those +20,000 outright odds aren't treating Tiger as a threat and neither should you.
