2026 Open Championship: PGA Betting and Fantasy Preview - Key Stats, Course Breakdown, Tournament Trends, TV Times, and More

July 13, 2026

2026 Open Championship betting and fantasy golf preview with key stats, Royal Birkdale Golf Club course breakdown, field analysis, and TV times for this week’s PGA Tour event.

The PGA TOUR heads to Southport, England, this week for The Open Championship, the fourth and final major championship of the season. A 152-player field will take on Royal Birkdale, one of the most historic and demanding venues in championship golf, with the top 70 players and ties advancing to the weekend.

This marks the 11th Open Championship contested at Royal Birkdale and the first since 2017, when Jordan Spieth captured the Claret Jug. That victory gave Spieth three of golf's four major championships, leaving only the PGA Championship standing between him and the career Grand Slam. Nearly a decade later, he is still searching for that elusive final major title.

The biggest storyline entering the week surrounds World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, who returns as the defending champion after capturing his first Claret Jug last season at Royal Portrush. Scheffler heads to Royal Birkdale looking to bounce back after missing the cut at last week's Genesis Scottish Open, snapping his remarkable streak of made cuts that had stretched back to 2022.

The Open Championship - Course/Tournament History

The Open Championship, often referred to as The Open or the British Open, is the oldest golf tournament in the world. It was first played in 1860 at Prestwick Golf Club in Scotland, with just eight players competing over three rounds in a single day. Willie Park Sr. won that inaugural event, and the early years of The Open were dominated by Scottish golfers, especially Young Tom Morris, who famously won four consecutive titles from 1868 to 1872. Originally hosted exclusively at Prestwick, the tournament began rotating among other prestigious Scottish courses like St Andrews and Musselburgh by the 1870s.

As golf’s popularity grew, The Open expanded its footprint across the United Kingdom. By the early 20th century, the rotation included iconic English courses such as Royal St George’s, Royal Liverpool, and Royal Lytham & St Annes. The tournament began attracting top players from around the world, with American dominance emerging in the interwar years—most notably through legends like Bobby Jones and Walter Hagen. The post-war era further globalized The Open, with champions from South Africa, Australia, and Europe joining the elite list of Claret Jug winners.

The modern Open Championship remains one of golf’s four major championships and is administered by The R&A. Known for its challenging links-style courses and unpredictable weather, The Open tests every aspect of a golfer’s skill. Venues rotate among a select group of historic courses, including St Andrews, Muirfield, Royal Troon, and Royal Portrush—the latter of which marked a triumphant return to Northern Ireland in 2019 after nearly 70 years.

The Open has witnessed some of golf’s most dramatic moments—from Tom Watson and Jack Nicklaus’s Duel in the Sun at Turnberry in 1977 to Tiger Woods’s dominance at St Andrews in 2000. As of 2025, the tournament has been held 153 times and continues to be revered as the pinnacle of golf tradition, excellence, and history.

The Claret Jug, officially known as the Golf Champion Trophy, is one of the most iconic and coveted trophies in all of sports. It is awarded annually to the winner of The Open Championship, the oldest golf tournament in the world. The original prize for winning The Open, beginning in 1860, was the Challenge Belt—made of red Moroccan leather and awarded to the champion to hold for one year. After Young Tom Morris won the Belt outright by claiming the title three consecutive times from 1868 to 1870, the event was canceled in 1871 due to the lack of a replacement trophy.

In 1872, it was agreed that a new trophy would be created, with Prestwick, St Andrews, and the Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers (Musselburgh) each contributing £10 toward its cost. The new prize, the Claret Jug, was inspired by traditional vessels used for serving wine and spirits. Although the trophy was not ready in time for the 1872 Open, which Young Tom Morris also won, his name was the first engraved on it retroactively. The actual presentation of the Claret Jug began with the 1873 champion, Tom Kidd.

Today, the original Claret Jug is housed permanently in the clubhouse of The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews. The winner of each Open Championship receives a replica of the trophy to keep for a year, after which it must be returned ahead of the next tournament. The player is then given a smaller replica to keep permanently. Over the years, the Claret Jug has come to symbolize the highest level of achievement in golf, its legacy shaped by the legends who have hoisted it—from Bobby Jones and Jack Nicklaus to Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy. It remains a timeless symbol of golf’s deep tradition and international prestige.

The Open Championship - Notable Par 3s

Royal Birkdale Golf Club’s par 3s range from 151 to 241 yards. Despite their beauty, these holes present a significant challenge. In the 2017 Open Championship, every par 3 had a scoring average over par.

Hole 4 | Par 3 | 219 Yards

This may be a straightforward, simple design for a long par-3, but it can play havoc. Front pin positions are obviously very dangerous, especially with three bunkers on the left and the green running away from you. This hole tends to play in a crosswind, into off the left from what I remember, so it’s just a very solid, tough par-3, playing 20 yards longer than 2017 from a new tee. If you make par here, you’re very comfortable and happy. There’s no trickery to this hole at all, it just requires a good, solid shot and move on.

Hole 7 | Par 3 | 151 Yards

After the demanding 6th hole, don’t be fooled into thinking this is an easy, short par-3 and a birdie chance. With four bunkers around the green, pin positions tend to be tricky, while if the hole is playing downwind it can be awkward. The green has been raised over a metre with subtle ridges that will kick the ball over the back if not executed properly. Playing from a new tee into the green means it can be difficult to judge distances, although the hole plays 26 yards shorter than in 2017. Pitch it in one of those bunkers, it can plug, and suddenly a birdie chance can turn into a double bogey. The hole offers respite after what has come before, but it’s a mental test more than anything else so you can’t switch off.
Never underestimate short par-3s.

Hole 12 | Par 3 | 186 Yards

It’s probably the most exposed hole on the course, with cross winds often determining club selection and when they sweep across it can be very awkward
to judge the distance. A large dune has been removed at the rear of the green, revealing a spectacular existing dune previously hidden from view. Pin
positions at the front of the green are difficult, as there is a drop off and two bunkers on the right. You can get very awkward lies in the dunes so it’s
important to hit the green. It can be a very straightforward shot with no wind, but on a typical links day it’s a tough hole

Hole 15 | Par 3 | 241 Yards 

After Royal Birkdale engaged with architects Mackenzie & Ebert, this is a new short hole created to diversify the directions and lengths of the course’s par-3s. With the clubhouse in the distance, players will face a different wind direction to the other par-3s, playing to a long, narrow, raised green that runs away from you. I like the course change here, not
only for the challenge to the players but visually the hole will look great on TV. With the green sitting in the dunes – and two well-placed bunkers to avoid on the left – it’s a fantastic-looking hole. It’s not the length here that will worry the players, it’s more making sure they hit the green as it’s not the easiest up-and-down for par. I think it will provide a different
challenge to the other par-3s on the course, toughening up the finishing holes with a tee shot that’s going to ask a lot of the strike and shape of the players’ shots

The Open Championship - Notable Par 4s

There are ten Par 4s at Royal Birkdale Golf Club, with the majority of those holes ranging between 400 and 450 yards. No. 5 is the shortest, listed at 321 yards, with the longest being 6. 14, playing 514 yards.

Hole 6 | Par 4 | 514 Yards

It’s a big, tough, left-to-right hole, probably the toughest hole on the front nine. A new tee has added 15 yards to the hole from 2017 but the problems from the tee are the two bunkers on the right, as well as the one further down on the left. Much can depend on the wind, as it’s incredibly difficult to hit the fairway with a driver. I remember in the final round in 2008, Greg Norman hit what looked the perfect drive down there, carried the bunkers, but it just ran straight through the fairway into the heavy rough. You could end up hitting a 3 or 5-wood off the tee, drawing off the right-hand bunkers, but it leaves a long way in for the second shot, which provides another problem as it’s such a long hole. Certainly in 2008, there were plenty of players hitting 3-wood into the green. Again, make your par and walk off happy.

Hole 10 | Par 4 | 397 Yards

This is a sharp dogleg right to left. The tee shot can depend on how high the rough is down the left and how much of the corner players look to cut off. There is a bunker at the left corner and three bunkers on the right, so accuracy is key. Depending on the conditions, you will see a lot of players hit driver over the left-hand bunker and not be concerned if they’re in the rough on the left, as they will only be around 100 yards from the green. Of course, if it’s wet the play is likely to be out to the right, short of the bunkers, to leave a longer shot into a green with two bunkers lurking on the right. It’s a really bad miss going too far right off the tee given the trouble over there. This is another hole where the weather will dictate how aggressive players will be.

Hole 11 | Par 4 | 434 Yards

This is another tough hole with a premium on accuracy off the tee. It’s a pretty straight hole but probably the toughest drive on the course. An elevated tee causes the biggest problem – as generally, from memory, it plays straight into the wind. With a narrow landing area due to four bunkers, if you miss the fairway you can be struggling to reach the green
in two. So, it’s one of the more pressure-filled tee shots on the course. Generally, on links courses, you have the option of staying short of bunkers or maybe trying to carry them, but the 11th has two right and two left so you have to take them on. Obviously, like most of the bunkers at Royal Birkdale, if you find one it’s often a chip out. It also has a tricky
green with run-offs around it.

Hole 13 | Par 4 | 502 Yards

In 2008, I made a pivotal birdie here on the way to victory – although the 13th is probably most famous for Jordan Spieth’s bogey in 2017 when he went right off the tee and eventually dropped on the driving range. The hole is like pretty much every other par-4 at Royal Birkdale – it’s difficult. You really need to take on the fairway bunkers and some of the trouble. It’s right there in front of you and you just have to execute the shots. In 2008 during the final round, I hit a 3-iron off the tee and then a 5-iron into the green. I made two beautiful golf swings, holed a 20-footer and just felt, probably at that moment, I had peaked in terms of my swing and ball striking – that was as good as I could do. The 13th is just a solid hole. If you get your drive safely away, the second shot is into a nice, big target where the middle of the green is just fine. It’s a very nice par-4 for good ball strikers.

Hole 18 | Par 4 | 508 Yards

It’s a classic links hole to finish. I remember growing up watching TV over the years and enjoying the 72nd hole at The Open, especially with the backdrop of the clubhouse at Royal Birkdale. It’s just a really solid finishing hole. With a four-shot lead in 2008, I could relax – but only after I had struck my tee shot. Once I had found the fairway, I could wave at the crowds. It’s a long par-4, extended by 35 yards since 2017. The tee has been moved left and the tee shot tightened considerably with bunkering, four on
the right of the fairway and two on the left. With rough and out of bounds down the right as well, there is a need to be careful. You don’t want to come out of it for the ball to drift right into those bunkers so a lot of players will go for a low tee shot to try and chase the ball down the fairway. It’s then a long iron in, which is the beauty of the hole as you want to test players at the finish. There are two bunkers to the left and one on the right at the green, and it’s often about holding the ball up in the wind to find the middle of the putting surface

The Open Championship - Notable Par 5s

There are only two Par 5s on the course: No. 14 and No. 17. These were the only two of the three holes that had a scoring average under par in 2017.

Hole 14 | Par 5 | 602 Yards

The old 15th hole has been remodelled as the new 14th. It’s a long par-5 now, very straight. I don’t think the players will be scared of the yardage, but it’s those ten fairway bunkers, seven on the left and three on the right, which might scare them. The tee shot should be threaded down the fairway to leave a 3 or 5-wood in for the second shot. They’re suitably placed bunkers to avoid and everything slopes away to the left with the approach. The wind usually comes from right to left so a nice draw for the second shot can chase the ball up there, avoiding the two greenside bunkers. For the shorter hitters or the safety conscious players, it’s a three-shot hole. Either way, it’s a birdie opportunity at a
key point in the round.

Hole 17 | Par 5 | 566 Yards

I remember making eagle here during the final round in 2008, hitting a 5-wood approach from 278 yards with the wind off the left to three feet, which gave me a cushion going to the 72nd hole. It’s a great memory to have. I know it’s a narrow entrance into the green, but you have to be thinking ‘let’s make birdie here’, or an eagle. Off the tee, you need to do everything you can to avoid the left-hand dune or the two bunkers on the right, thread it through the dunes and find the fairway to set up the second shot. If in position to go for it, you can run the ball nicely in there avoiding the bunkers on the left. If laying up, a wedge shot in the wind can be tricky to a tiered green so it’s important to find the right spot. But the 17th is a great opportunity and you’re desperate to make at least a birdie. Somebody could have hung in all day and then, all of a sudden, makes an eagle to shoot up
the leaderboard.
