Now on the tee, from USA: The 2024 Open Championship thread

RIP Ivor Robson.

Tiger might not be able to get around the course like he once did but no one this side of Jordan murders his enemies quite like this.



IT MUST HAVE BEEN A RUN-BY FRUITING!

 

My gosh, that is a lovely accent on that reporter.

 

He is that. Always has been.

 

Eldrick is good for 10+ years then. Doesn't turn Champions Tour-eligible until the start of 2026 unless there's a New Year's Eve event in 2025.

 

Gimme Aberg this week. With a side of Tommy Fleetwood. I feel like that guy will get one eventually.

Assume the favorite is Scheffler, as he should be. And assume DeChambeau will be in the mix.

 

Tiger looks like he's dropped 15 pounds since Pinehurst.

 

Correct assumption. Your odds:

Scheffler +500
Rory +800
Xander 14-1
Morikawa/Bam Bam 16-1
Ludvig 18-1
Fleetwood 22-1
Hatton 25-1
Rahm 28-1
Hovland 30-1

Tasty numbers a bit down the list:
Big Shot Bob and Lowry, both 40-1
Adam Scott at 60-1

Tiger to make the cut +200/miss -300

 

Monty prolly miffed R&A didn’t extend invite like they did last time it was here.
As long and as soft as it’s gonna play, I think it’s Bombers Inc.
This is gonna feel nothing like a proper Open.
You might see 16-17-18 under if the wind doesn’t blow.

 

Win' na blow, na ploy goff.
