When the 135th British Open returns to Royal Liverpool for the first time since 1967 this weekend, all eyes will be on Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson as they try to rebound from their disastrous showings at last month’s U.S. Open. Although he missed the cut at a major for the first time as a professional, PinnacleSports.com lists Woods as the favorite to defend his British Open title, while Mickelson has been installed with the second best odds despite his monumental collapse on the final hole at Winged Foot.

The largest sports betting site on the Internet, PinnacleSports.com has calculated odds on over 100 golfers participating in The Open Championship with Woods listed as an overwhelming 5/1 favorite to win his third Claret Jug. Reigning Masters champion Phil Mickelson is 11/1 to capture his first British Open title at Hoylake, followed by Vijay Singh at 15/1. PinnacleSports.com lists 2002 Open winner Ernie Els at 16/1 to win his second Claret Jug, while Padraig Harrington (20/1), Retief Goosen (20/1), Luke Donald (25/1), and Jim Furyk (30/1) should also be in the hunt at Royal Liverpool.

Last year’s runner-up at St. Andrews, Colin Montgomerie (33/1) heads the list of Europeans hoping to win the Open Championship which also includes: Darren Clarke (35/1), Sergio Garcia (40/1), Paul Casey (45/1) and Thomas Bjorn (45/1). Aussie Adam Scott (40/1) and South African Trevor Immelman should be in contention, while U.S. Open champion Geoff Ogilvy stands at 45/1 to win his second consecutive major championship. Meanwhile, 1995 Open champ John Daly (200/1), 2001 winner David Duval (250/1) and three-time champion Nick Faldo (400/1) are all long shots to add another Claret Jug to their resumes.
