The Royal St George’s Golf Club is located in Sandwich, Kent, England UK, it is one of the courses on The Open Championship rotation and is the only Open rota golf course to be located in South East England.

Our Top 4 Picks:

Jon Rahm (SPA) Favourite @7/1

Were not sure Rahm needed the confidence boost the U.S. Open win provided, but it’s possible that we could see him apply the weight that comes with being a major champion to a game that was already probably the most complete in the world. Translation: He’s going to be an absolute monster from here on out, will he be beaten?

Rahm finished seventh at the Scottish Open, but it wasn’t enough to retain the No. 1 ranking, per the OWGR math. Dustin Johnson, who didn’t compete last week, is back on top entering this week’s Open Championship.

Dustin Johnson (USA) @18/1 EW

The world No1 played Sunday with Clarke and got within striking distance before hitting a ball out of bounds and making seven on the par-5 14th hole. It was tough to watch, just as much of Johnson’s 2021 campaign has been. Following an out-of-this-world fall, Dustin has just two top 10s on the PGA Tour this calendar year, neither of them close to contention. This is his last chance to salvage a bit of a lost year, especially considering how well he was playing at the end of 2020, we expect that turn around here and believe he will certainly push for honours.

Rory McIlroy (GBR) @16/1 EW

It’s been almost three years since Rory McIlroy play a weekend round at The Open, all the way back when he finished T2 at Carnoustie behind Francesco Molinari in 2018. He missed the cut at Royal Portrush before last year’s edition was cancelled, and he doesn’t come into this year’s tournament with much momentum at all. After a weak Irish Open showing and a missed cut at the Scottish Open, confidence in McIlroy adding a fifth major to his collection is not high. But this is practically home turf and a top 8 finish is on the cards… you read it here first.

Jordan Spieth (USA) @16/1 Our Nap

This tournament was made for Jordan Spieth to star as a contender and potential winner. If he does so, that’s a possible 4 majors before turning 28, even with his long drought its a distinct possibility.

On July 23 2017, Spieth won the Open Championship at Royal Birkdale, giving him his third major title. Spieth tied for the lead after a first-round 65 and held the lead outright after the second and third rounds, leaving him three shots clear of Matt Kuchar heading into the final day. After a terrible start and an unplayable shot needing a drop and losing the lead Spieth fought back and took the title at the age of 23.
