The 2023 Open will return to Royal Liverpool Golf Club starting on July 20 and this will be the 13th time this famous venue has hosted the Open. The list of past winners is a who’s who of golf, with Rory McIlroy winning in 2014, Tiger Woods winning in 2006 and legends Peter Thomson, Bobby Jones and Walter Hagen all lifting the Claret Jug in Merseyside, England. This is the final major tournament of the 2023 golf season and most of golf’s biggest stars are expected to be in the field for the 2023 Open.

Jon Rahm is already a Masters winner and US Open champion and the No. 2 player in the Official World Golf Ranking is a 15-2 favorite in the 2023 Open from Caesars Sportsbook. He is followed by world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy at 9-1 while 2023 PGA Championship winner Brooks Koepka is at 14-1. Before you lock in your own 2023 Open Championship pick, be sure to check out the 2023 Open Championship predictions and projected leaderboard from SportsLine’s proven computer model.

Our proprietary model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been red hot since the PGA Tour began in June 2020. In fact, the model is up nearly $10,000 on the best bets since then, which ‘ draw competition after competition.

McClure’s model predicted Jon Rahm to finish atop the leaderboard at the 2023 Sentry Championship and The American Express. And at the 2023 Masters, the model was all over Rahm’s second career major victory before the weekend. Rahm was two shots off the lead in the third round, but the model still projected him as the winner. It was the second straight Masters victory for the model, which also took Scottie Scheffler to win in 2022.

In addition, the model included Nick Taylor in his best bets to win the 2023 RBC Canadian Open. That bet hit at +7000, and for the entire tournament, McClure’s best bets returned nearly $1,900. McClure’s best bets also included Jason Day (17-1) winning outright at the 2023 AT&T Byron Nelson, even though he hadn’t won a PGA Tour event since 2018.

This same model also posted nine majors on the weekend. Anyone who has followed him has seen a huge comeback.

Now that the 2023 Open Championship field is underway, SportsLine simulated the tournament 10,000 times, and the results were astounding. Go to SportsLine now to view the 2023 Open Championship leaderboard.

The best predictions for The Open 2023

One big surprise the model calls for at the 2023 Open: Jordan Spieth, three-time major champion and one of the top favorites, stumbles at Royal Liverpool and doesn’t even get over the 10 highest. Spieth is a proven winner on the PGA Tour, having earned 13 career victories, which includes winning the Open Championship in 2017 at Royal Birkdale.

However, the 29-year-old has struggled a lot in recent weeks. Spieth has missed the cut three times since the start of May, including missing the weekend at the US Open. His struggles can be attributed directly to his inability to find his way off the tee. Spieth ranks 88th in driving total (193) and 137th in driving accuracy (55.85%). He’s not a strong pick to win it all and there are far better values ​​in the field for The Open 2023. See which golfers will leave here.

Another surprise: Xander Schauffele, longshot 25-1, making a strong run at the title. He has a much better chance of winning than he means, so he’s a target for anyone looking for a big payday. Arguably the best player in the world without a major tournament, it’s not for lack of opportunities that Schauffele has yet to win a grand slam. He has been a fixture near the top of the competition’s main leaderboards and it feels like a matter of time before he finally breaks through.

The 29-year-old has finished in the top 25 in 18 of the 25 majors he has played and is coming off his 11th career top 10 at a major at the 2023 US Open. Schauffele finished t -2nd in the 2018 Open and has made the cut five times in The Open. Now he heads to Royal Liverpool where he should be hitting (sixth in strokes: technique) and putting (12th in strokes: putting) is a great asset. See who else to choose here.
