Rory McIlroy, the definitive favorite at the SuperBook, has not won The Open since 2014, when he defeated Rickie Fowler and Sergio Garcia by two shots for the claret jug. McIlroy has odds of 10/1 to win the tournament, just ahead of second choice Xander Schauffele at 14/1. Schauffele has been scorching hot over the last month, with victories at the Genesis Scottish Open on Sunday and the Travelers Championship in June, along with a win at the JP McManus Pro-Am, an unofficial event on the European Tour.

In 2004 the father of Professional Golfer Rory McIlroy placed a Β£200 ($341) bet, at 500-1 odds, his son would win the British Open within the next 10 years when his son was just 15 years old. In 2014 McIlroy won the tournament earning his… https://t.co/wNHwsgqDwG

The British Open, the oldest major in golf, will celebrate its 150th rendition this week. Tiger Woods, who won the 2000 British Open at St. Andrews, is a considerable longshot at 100/1. Collin Morikawa, the defending British Open champion, has odds of 25/1 to win the jug for the second consecutive year.

Bastille Day climb at the Tour De France

The Tour De France will celebrate Bastille Day with Stage 12, a 166-kilometer ride from Briancon to Alpe D’Huez. A ski resort in southeastern France, Alpe D’Huez has produced some of the most iconic climbs in the history of the event. Riders on Thursday will traverse the same course used in the 1986 Tour De France at Alpe D’Huez. As of Monday, Tadej Pogačar maintained a 59-second lead over Slovenian countryman PrimoΕΎ Roglič.

Pogačar, the two-time defending Tour champion, has odds of -220 at FanDuel to complete a three-peat. FanDuel is also offering a prop on the “King of the Mountains” champion, which recognizes the rider who finishes with the best performance over a series of climbs during the three-week tour. Pogačar, the King of the Mountains winner in each of the last two years, has odds of +300 to win again, while French cyclist Thibault Pinot is the slight favorite at +250.

Known colloquially as the “Midsummer Derby,” the Runhappy Travers Stakes typically ranks as the marquee event of the meet.
