The 2026 Open Championship best bets are here! Stephie Smalls is joined by sports gambling expert and show favorite Sam Wagman to break down the course, outright winners, finishing-position bets, matchups and long shots for the final major of the year.
Royal Birkdale is playing firm, fast and potentially chaotic, especially across a brutal closing stretch. Stephie and Sam explain which skills should matter most before revealing their favorite bets for The Open.
Their betting card includes:
⛳ Collin Morikawa Top 30 at plus money
🔥 Morikawa over Shane Lowry in Round 1
💰 Joaquin Niemann to finish as the top LIV golfer
🏴 Robert MacIntyre to finish Top 20
🚀 A complete Sam Burns betting ladder, including a 60/1 outright
👀 Why Scottie Scheffler could ruin everyone’s weekend again
Sam also explains why Burns fits the course, which recent Open Championship trend works in his favor and why one disastrous final round may be hiding how close he has already come.
