Sunday at the Open Championship is shaping up to be a coronation for Scottie Scheffler.
The latest: Scheffler fired a bogey-free 67 on Saturday, and now sits at 14-under, four shots clear of second-place Haotong Li. Englishman Matthew Fitzpatrick was one shot behind Scheffler to start the day, but has fallen further back after a pedestrian moving day.
Here are the latest 2025 Open Championship odds for the tournament.

The favourite: Scheffler (-835)
Scheffler put together one of the finest rounds of his career at Royal Portrush on Saturday, navigating the links without error.
The World No. 1 is leading the field in strokes gained: approach and strokes gained: putting through 54 holes — and when he was in danger, his short game saved the day.
A win on Sunday would be major No. 4 for Scheffler and add to this elite resume over the last 20 months:
- 12 wins
- Two majors
- Olympic gold medal
- 2024 Tour Championship.
Only two players are within five shots of Scheffler, so it’s hard to imagine him slipping up at this point.
Golf betting notes
- Can Li run down Scheffler? Probably not, but we have to give the man some credit for being in this position. Elite iron play has gotten Li this far, and he’ll need a stellar Sunday to become China’s first male major champion.
- Fitzpatrick was tied with Scheffler standing on the seventh tee box, and then made birdie. But Scheffler responded with an eagle, and then things went sideways for the Englishman. Fitzpatrick shot two over on the back nine and exited contention.
- McIlroy is a long shot to win this event, and aims to build off his stellar Saturday 66. The Northern Irishman will have to crowd behind him, and was sixth in strokes gained: putting on moving day.
