Golf goes across the pond this week for the season’s fourth and final major championship.

The 2019 Open Championship, also referred to as The Open or The British Open, will play out at Royal Portrush Golf Club in County Antrim, Northern Ireland from July 18 to 21.

Of course, you can now bet on the 2019 golf season’s final major championship in eight states across the US with legal sports betting.

These states are:

• New Mexico

Ahead of Thursday’s tee off, betting on the 2019 Open Championship at legal US sportsbooks could not be easier. You simply pick the golfer you think can win it all and lay down a bet at odds found inside a sportsbook’s 2019 Open Championship outrights market.

2019 Open Championship odds

Below is a look at the current 2019 Open Championship outrights odds at four of the top sportsbooks in the country.

This includes NJ sports betting apps BetStars NJ and FanDuel Sportsbook. Additionally, it includes newly launched PA sports betting apps including SugarHouse Sportsbook and Parx Sportsbook

As you can see, defending champion Francesco Molinari is hardly the favorite.

The 2018 Open Championship was his first and only major title. Plus, a meltdown at The Masters this spring saw him lose a two-stroke lead going into the final round after putting two balls in the water on the back nine.

Tiger Woods went on to win that event, but the aging golf superstar isn’t exactly the top favorite at Royal Portrush this weekend either. Nor is 2019 PGA Championship winner Brooks Koepka.

Football Championship Odds

Although, Koepka has won four out of the last 11 majors and booked two majors wins and two runner-up finishes in the last four, forcing oddsmakers to keep him close.

No true moneyline favorite

There is actually no true moneyline favorite to win just yet. But, at what should be around +800, Rory McIlroy is the current favorite at most legal US sportsbooks. McIlroy won The Open in 2014 and has three other major titles.

Plus, he’s from Northern Ireland, making him a bit of a hometown favorite. In fact, at age 16 McIlroy, now 30, shot a course-record 61 at Royal Portrush.

McIlroy is also ranked No. 3 in the world according to the Official World Golf Ranking and a contender every time golf tees up another major.

As always, a lot of the betting action here in the US should still center around Woods. After all, he is a three-time Open winner.

The issue is that it has been more than a decade (2006) since the last time he won The Open. Plus, at 43, and with a list of old injuries that seem to act up when it rains, traditionally poor weather conditions might be more of a factor for Woods than others.

For Open Championship betting, the best value is at or near the top

Depending on the price, American Dustin Johnson may provide the best value at or near the top. He’s the No. 2 ranked golfer in the world right now. Plus, he did finish among the runner ups at The Open Championship in 2011.

There’s also a feeling among golf experts that the tight nature of the Royal Portrush course suits Johnson’s style of play better than others, in particular, world No. 1 Koepka.

Of course, it all comes down to who plays the best this weekend in Northern Ireland.

Legal US sportsbooks will adjust the odds in these outrights markets heavily after the first two rounds Thursday and Friday. Leaders will emerge and the current favorites will need to play their way into contention along with everyone else.

Here in the US, you can watch the first two rounds to see if they can on the Golf Channel. NBC takes over coverage for the final two rounds Saturday and Sunday.

Professional golf's third major of the season gets underway early this Thursday with first-round action in this year's Open Championship, also known as the British Open, on the Old Course at fabled St. Andrews in Scotland. The biggest storyline this week will be 21-year old Jordan Spieth's bid to win his third straight major after already capturing the title in this year's Masters and US Open.

BetOnline has sports bettors covered with a number of futures and prop bets odds in conjunction with this week's tournament, and I am looking for the best value on the board in the betting odds for a Top-5 finish.

Jordan Spieth +125

Spieth comes into the Open Championship as a +500 favorite to continue his quest for golf's Grand Slam with a win this week. The simple fact that his odds to finish in the Top 5 are higher than even money automatically puts him on my list. With defending champion Rory McIlroy out of the picture due to an ankle injury, the stage is set for Spieth to shine at the birthplace of the game of golf.

Along with the fact that he has already won the first two majors, he comes into St. Andrews fresh off an impressive victory in last week's John Deere Classic. Spieth has now finished third or better in four of his last five tournaments.

Justin Rose +350

It would be hard to leave this name off my list considering his past success on the European Tour. His best finish in 13 previous Open Championships was fourth all the way back in 1998 as a 17-year old amateur, which drains a bit of value in these odds. However, after finally breaking through with a victory in the 2013 US Open, he is always a threat in any major he plays.

Despite a very pedestrian showing in last week's Scottish Open, overall form still adds some value to Rose's odds with a victory in the Zurich Classic of New Orleans in late April and a near miss in this year's Memorial after losing in a playoff to finish second.

Rickie Fowler +350

I went with Fowler at +400 betting odds as one of my Top 5 plays in last month's US Open, and he proceeded to miss the cut. I was going to sit him for this major, but last week's thrilling victory in the Scottish Open convinced me to add him to the list. He played four steady rounds and sweated out a one-stroke victory with a final round 68.

Fowler is an all-or-nothing type player with three missed cuts in his last five PGA events, but he also won this year's Players Championship during that stretch, which is considered by many to be golf's fifth major.

Paul Casey +650

Casey made a serious run at an Open Championship title the last time it was held at St. Andrews in 2010. He ended up tied for third, which was his best finish in 12 career appearances in this event.

He just missed out on a Top-5 finish in this year's Masters by tying for sixth, but he could only manage a 39^th-place finish in the US Open. Casey's best finish this season was second in the Travelers Championship in late June after losing to Bubba Watson in a playoff. He has a total of four Top-5 finishes this year.

Luke Donald +1400

I am looking to stretch the value in the odds with this pick on a pure hunch. Donald's name used to appear much higher on a futures odds list for a major a few years back, but he could never fully live up to those lofty expectations. The main reason he caught my eye for this event was his solid performance in last week's Scottish Open in which he finished in a tie for seventh place.

Donald needed a seventh-place finish in last month's Travelers Championship just to qualify for this year's Open Championship, but I am banking that he can return to the form that led to a pair of Top-5 finishes in this tournament in 2009 and 2012.
