Bovada Boosted Open Championship Parlay
- Rahm, Scheffler, McIlroy All To Win 3-Ball Matchups +900
The parlay is boosted from +782 to +900, which would net an extra $1,180 on a $1,000 wager. Jon Rahm headlines the first 3-ball matchup with +115 odds to post a better first round score than Xander Schauffele (+165) and JJ Spaun (+300).
1st Round 3-Ball Odds
- Jon Rahm +115
- Xander Schauffele +165
- JJ Spaun +300
Rahm has impressed with three top-15 finishes in major championships this season, including back-to-back top 10 finishes. He will need to beat two-time major champion Schauffele and defending U.S. Open champion Spaun to help the boosted parlay.
Schauffele has only posted two top 10 finishes this season after dealing with injuries and some time off, while Spaun missed the cut last week at the Scottish Open and doesn’t have much experience playing in Scotland. Rahm’s a good bet to win his matchup here at +115 legal sports betting odds.
Trust Scheffler, Rory To Win 3-Ball Matchups For Parlay
Scottie Scheffler has -105 favored odds to win his 3-ball matchup against Shane Lowry (+240) and Collin Morikawa (+250). The World No. 1 golfer finished T-8 in last week’s Scottish Open and marked his best Open Championship performance last year with a T-7 finish.
1st Round 3-Ball Odds
- Scottie Scheffler -105
- Shane Lowry +240
- Collin Morikawa +250
Lowry posted a first-round score of 72 or worse in three of his last five events, which simply won’t get it done against Scheffler’s first round average of 68 over that stretch. Morikawa missed the cut in two of his last three Open Championships since winning at Royal St. George in 2021.
1st Round 3-Ball Odds
- Rory McIlroy +110
- Tommy Fleetwood +180
- Justin Thomas +275
Rory McIlroy’s biggest competition is Tommy Fleetwood at +180 odds, but Fleetwood shot a 70 or worse first round score in eight consecutive major championships. Justin Thomas has finished outside the top 30 in four-consecutive Open Championships, posting first round scores of 68, 82 (!), 72, and 72 during that time.
Getting +900 legal PGA Tour betting odds for Rahm, Scheffler, and McIlroy to win their first-round matchups is great value at Bovada Sportsbook.
