British Open Championship Golf Betting

The British Open or more correctly named The Open Championship is the third major of the season following on from The Masters and the US Open and comes before the final Major of the season The USPGA.

The next Open Championship will be played at St Andrews between 15-18 July 2010 and it will be the Tournaments 150th Anniversary.

The Open is unique in that it is usually played on a Links course, meaning it is played by the sea and can be seriously affected by high winds that coastlines often throw up. The most famous links golf venue in the World is St Andrews regarded as the home of Golf, much like Wembley is to Soccer, Lords to Cricket and Cheltenham to National Hunt Horse Racing.

The Open is the world's oldest golf championship with the first event played at Prestwick in 1860, when eight players challenged for the title over three rounds of the 12-hole course. These days of course, the top players in the world compete over four challenging rounds in a bid to get their hands on the coveted Claret Jug Trophy.

Such is the skill level of the world’s top players these days that any of the field of 128 can win the event and most will have excellent betting odds in The Open Golf Betting market. It is also worthwhile checking out the many British Open Free Bets offers right here on this site, that will be available throughout the Tournament
