The Open Championship marks golf’s final major of 2023. Scottie Scheffler opens as the favorite (+650), but Rory McIlroy (+700) has momentum after winning the Scottish Open last week. The best way to wager on the 2023 Open Championship is with the latest FanDuel promo code.
FanDuel recently released a new signup offer, allowing new customers to earn a $100 bonus bet following their first $5 bet. It doesn’t matter if you win or lose your first $5 bet, as the bonus bet appears in your account with a win or loss.
We should mention that bonus bets don’t serve the same purpose as cash in your account. You can’t withdraw a bonus bet, and any profit from a successful bonus bet will just return the winnings, not the bonus bet stake itself. We’ll explain more on this below.
The FanDuel promo code is available for any sporting event until August 3. Today, we’ll use the signup offer to wager on the 2023 Open Championship.
FanDuel Promo Code: 2023 Open Championship
Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy are favorites for the 151st Open Championship. Scheffler is having an unprecedented run of consistency, with seven straight top-five finishes. He hasn’t finished outside the top 12 in his last 18 starts!
McIlroy is on a nine-year major drought but has been close to winning. Outside of a missed cut in this year’s Masters, he hasn’t finished worse than eighth in a major since the 2021 Open Championship.
As we move down the odds list, Viktor Hovland at +2200 presents value. Hovland has been strong in majors this season, scoring a pair of top 10 finishes. He also finished fourth in last year’s Open Championship.
Jason Sobel of Action Network has Hovland as one of his best bets for the 2023 Open Championship.
This season, the Norwegian ranks 13th in Strokes Gained: Total and 10th in Strokes Gained: Tee-to-Green. As usual, his biggest bugaboo remains wedge shots around the greens, though that disadvantage will be neutralized on a links course such as Hoylake, where it’s not like he’ll be pitching out of thick Bermuda or heavy bentgrass. Hell, he can putt everything from 50 yards out and closer.
When we find a player with one glaring negative and basically eliminate that part of the game, we should expect a surge in performance, and that’s exactly what I like about Hovland this week.
He’s contended in majors, he’s gotten a taste, and he’s won big events. It’s time for him to assert himself among the world’s best players – perhaps not quite on the same level with Scheffler, McIlroy and Rahm, but with a win this week, he won’t be too far behind them.
FanDuel is certainly high on Hovland, as he has the sixth-best odds to win the Open Championship. Outside of McIlroy, the five players ahead of him have won a major within the last year. Will this be the week Hovland breaks through?
A $100 bonus bet would yield $2,200 in winnings.
