2024 British Open Odds & Picks: Wyndham Clark

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.

Wyndham Clark British Open Course History

Wyndham Clark has only competed in two British Opens in his young career, with neither outing leading to an especially good finish. He is coming off of an 8-under-par Round 4 at the Renaissance Club, so perhaps that stellar round will give Clark confidence and a spark ahead of his debut at Royal Troon.

Wyndham Clark Recent Form

Clark has quietly rattled off back-to-back top-10 finishes in his last two events. He tends to score lower as the week goes on. Ranked 12th in total strokes gained, 16th in strokes gained: putting and 26th in strokes gained: off- the tee, Clark has a sound statistical profile heading into his Royal Troon debut.

Wyndham Clark 2024 British Open Betting Outlook

At 80-1 odds, Clark is a solid value and warrants a small investment. Yes, he has yet to record a top-25 finish at a British Open, but he's only played in two, and we've seen golfers such as Jordan Spieth quickly ascend at this event after getting a couple of years under their belt. The key to Clark's success is starting hot early and tuning up his irons on approach.
