The Open Championship 2022: Betfair Sportsbook paying up to 12 places at St Andrews

The Betfair Sportsbook are now paying up to 12 places for each-way bets on The Open Championship, as the 150th edition of the world's oldest golf major takes place at St Andrews from 14-17 July.

You will get the very best Win odds on the Betfair Exchange of course, where Rory McIlroy currently heads the betting at 12.011/1 ahead of John Rahm 18.017/1 and Scottie Scheffler 19.018/1, but if you want the insurance of being paid out should your golfer finish in the top 12, then the Betfair Sportsbook is the place to be.

At the recent US Open, our PGA Tour each-way betting specialist Dave Tindall recommended backing Seamus Power at 100/1 each-way with 12 places. Thanks to final day drama that bet came in and Dave's followers were in the money.

Will that be you when The Open Championship, the year's final major, comes home to St Andrew's?

Tipsters cover every betting angle

Dave will be on hand to recommend each-way bets while Steve Rawlings will provide his in-depth preview, there will be tips for first round leader, player profiles, form stats, specials bets, outsiders to back at monster prices and much more.

McIlroy is the pre-tournament favourite on the Betfair Sportsbook at 8/1 as he bids to win his first major title for eight years. The Northern Irishman has been in impressive form recently and would love to win the Claret Jug once more.

World number one Scheffler (12/1) is another frontrunner, just behind Rahm (11/1) in the market, and Matthew Fitzpatrick, who recently became the first Englishman for 52 years to win the US Open, has received support and is in to 14/1 as he contends at this week's Scottish Open.

It promises to be a thrilling four days at the home of golf and having the option of 12 places when betting each-way will only add to the excitement.
