2024 British Open Odds & Picks: Tyrrell Hatton

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.

Tyrrell Hatton British Open Course History

I'd venture to say Tyrell Hatton is pretty familiar with Royal Troon Golf Club, considering his best British Open finish came at the course back in 2016. The Englishman shot -4 (70-71-71-68), which landed him in fifth place. Interestingly, that fifth-place performance still stands as Hatton's best major finish. He finished sixth at Royal Portrush in 2019, which is his only other top-10 outing in the Open Championship.

Tyrrell Hatton Recent Form

Hatton has been in great form recently. The 32-year-old won LIV Golf Nashville in June and followed it up with a third-place finish at LIV Golf Andalucia in July. Weighing those finishes relative to the competition faced is an argument for a different day. However, Hatton has played five PGA tour events this year, with solid showings at the Sentry (14th) and the Sony Open (13th) in January. He also had a ninth-place finish at the Masters in April.

Tyrrell Hatton 2024 British Open Betting Outlook

At 28-1, it's worth throwing a couple of bucks on Hatton to win this tournament outright. For starters, he has played the course in a professional manner before, placing fifth in the 2016 British Open. This tournament is also in the UK, giving Hatton a de facto home-field advantage. Add in his recent form, and there's a good chance he's in the hunt on Sunday. This could set up some hedging options heading into the weekend, or we can let it ride with the Englishman to win his first major.
