The Open 2023 betting odds: Rory McIlory tipped to win at Hoylake - latest tips ahead of British Golf Open Championship

The Open 2023 is now only two days away and Rory McIlroy will enter the tournament as the front-runner following his win at the Scottish Open.

LIV Golf League and PGA players will reunite as they hope to lift the coveted Claret Jug and win the increased prize money this year. Dustin Johnson and Phil Mickelson will join the likes of McIlroy in the hope of winning the fourth and final major of the year.

Following his win at the Renaissance Club, which was his first Scottish Open win, McIlroy said: “I couldn’t ask for better preparation. The way I played the last two holes was an amazing finish and a perfect way to come into this week.

“The way I played the last two holes, going into the next few months and season I can always draw on that moment of being able to get it done under the toughest conditions.”

McIlroy lifted the Claret Jug in 2014, when The Open last took place at Royal Liverpool and he has come agonisingly close on several occasions to securing that fifth major but has never quite got over the line.

“I’ve had so many close calls since. I’ve had a great nine years and won a lot of tournaments but the big four have eluded me. It’s nice to be back here.

“It’s not like I think about it all that often so it’s nice to come back and re-familiarise myself with the course. It’s nice to come back to a major venue you’ve won on but it also makes you feel a bit old.”
