British Open History
BRITISH OPEN BETTING HISTORY
The Masters | U.S. Open | British Open | PGA Championship | Ryder Cup | Presidents Cup
Betting on the British Open has produced great returns for long shot bettors and Shane Lowry brought back a 65/1 price in 2019.
Including Lowry, International players have won nine of the past 13 Open Championships and that includes a run of three of the last four.
BRITISH OPEN WINNERS (2015-2019)
- 2019 - Shane Lowry (65/1)
- 2018 - Francesco Molinari (25/1)
- 2017 - Jordan Spieth (12/1)
- 2016 - Henrik Stenson (30/1)
- 2015 - Zach Johnson (80/1)
The Open Championship was canceled in 2020 due to the global pandemic.
Jordan Spieth was the last American to raise the Claret Jug, doing so in 2017.
In the modern era, Tiger Woods (3), Nick Faldo (3), Padraig Harrington (2) and Ernie Els (2) have multiple Open Championships.
Coincidentally, Woods (2005-2006) and Harrington (2007-2008) both captured back-to-back championships over a four-year stretch and we haven't seen a repeat winner in the United Kingdom since.
