2024 British Open Odds & Picks: Ludvig Aberg

by |

The final major of the 2024 golf season begins Thursday in South Ayrshire, Scotland, home of Royal Troon, a true jewel of the British Open course rotation.

Troon is one of the greatest links courses in the world. Golf's top players will have to navigate dunes, pot bunkers, and, of course, the elements. Most days on the west coast of Scotland include rainy spells, and sometimes, the wind gusts in from the Firth of Clyde, driving up scores. The back nine at Troon can be especially punishing, with some of the course’s longest holes playing into a prevailing wind.

The British Open is often referred to as "The Open Championship," and the winner earns the title Champion Golfer of the Year. That honor currently belongs to Brian Harman, who won at Royal Liverpool this year. The favorite this year, however, is Scottie Scheffler, the reigning Masters champion, who has enjoyed a splendid season. Other top contenders include Rory McIlroy, who's gone 10 years without a victory in a major, Xander Schauffele, who won the PGA Championship in May, and Bryson DeChambeau, who won the U.S. Open last month.

Who'll win the Claret Jug this year, and how should you bet the British Open? Let's take a look at some of the top contenders and assess their chances.

Ludvig Aberg 2024 British Open Betting Outlook

There is not much to say when a player who has yet to win anything at this level arrives in his Open debut with incredibly short odds. Aberg’s talent is obvious, but his odds are in incredibly deep water. Aberg might be the least European-style golfer from Europe in this field, which does not bode well on a true links golf course like Royal Troon. His glaring weakness is around the green, an area of Aberg’s game that will be put under immense stress this week.
