Golf is coming home.
For the 30th time in the famed course’s history, the Old Course at St. Andrews in Scotland will play host to The Open Championship when the 150th edition tees off on Thursday.
It’s the first time the Old Course has been the site of The Open since Zach Johnson won a three-way playoff against Louis Oosthuizen and Marc Leishman in 2005. The links course is known for its rolling hills, deep pot bunkers and relentless wind gusts that continues to puzzle the world’s best golfers 469 years after play first began there.
A solid portion of The Open field got some good practice in with last week’s Scottish Open at The Renaissance Club about 90 minutes away from St. Andrews. Others, like Tiger Woods, went straight to the Old Course to get some practice rounds in.
Here’s a run down of the best bets, odds and predictions before the final major of the season tees off.
