UK Open odds 2022, favorites: Why you should start for these nine golfers to raise Claret Jug

Home of Golf is set to be crowned the fourth major champion of the year as the Open Championship returns to its old Course at St. Andrews for the 150th edition of the tournament. There’s something romantic about this week with the oldest championship in the game coming to the most historic site in the sport, even more so on a milestone like this year.

St. Andrews has crowned well-deserved champions in the past. It was the site of Tiger Woods’ first Open title win in 2000, a victory that marked the completion of a Grand Slam in the career of then 24-year-old Woods and was an integral part of the “Tiger Slam.” He will continue to raise the Claret Jug at St. Andrews just five years later for the second of his three Open wins.

Louis Oosthuizen and Zach Johnson are two other men of the 2000s who raised the Claret Jug on St. Andrews. While Oosthuizen’s win was one of several, Johnson’s win helped him narrowly escape the playoffs against Oosthuizen and Marc Leishman.

Jordan Spieth and Jason Day, two of the game’s top names in 2015, fell a stroke for the extra hole and were certainly among the fan favorite contenders of the week. Just like seven years ago, there are some players that the audience will be cheering on.

Here is the all-inclusive rooting guide for the 150th Open Championship. Here are the 9 standout bets with their odds provided by Caesars Sportsbook.
