The 152nd British Open Championship will be played at the famous Royal Troon Golf Club in South Ayrshire in Scotland. Action will begin on Thursday and the winner will be handed the trophy at the end of Day 4′s play on Sunday, July 21.
At the time of writing, the Open odds has Scheffler (who sat out the Scottish Open) leading as the favorite at 5-1. Trailing behind him are McIlroy at 13-2, DeChambeau at 11-1, Schauffele and Ludvig Aberg both at 14-1.

The aforementioned Claret Jug is a significant prize in itself, but the winner on Sunday will also receive a sizeable bump in their bank account. Although the R&A haven’t yet announced the official purse, it is likely to be up from the $16.5 million from last year. From that, Brian Harman walked away with $3 million.
