With a win at the John Deere Classic two weeks back, Brian Campbell became the sixth golfer to rack up multiple victories in the 2025 PGA Tour season. He joins Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy — who each have three — as well as fellow two-time winners in Ryan Fox, Ben Griffin and Sepp Straka. While the first two names are the 2025 Open Championship favorites, the other four could be steals in British Open bets if they can translate their winning ways onto the links of Royal Portrush.
The Northern Ireland course will host the Open Championship 2025, which has Scheffler as the +450 favorite, followed by McIlroy at +700. Amongst the other multi-time winners, Straka is next at +5000.

2025 Open Championship predictions for Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Bryson DeChambeau
One shocker the model is calling at the Open Championship 2025: Rory McIlroy, a five-time major champion, stumbles this week and falls outside the top three. The 36-year-old is now a five-time major champion and is one of only six golfers to complete the modern grand slam after winning the 2025 Masters. He’s also the 2014 Open Championship winner, but he didn’t fare well while facing enormous pressure at Royal Portrush in 2019.
The Northern Irishman missed the cut at the first Open Championship played in Northern Ireland in nearly 70 years despite being the betting and rooting favorite. He’s also failed to crack the top five in each of the five solo events that he’s played since winning at Augusta and missed the cut at last year’s Open Championship.
The model has also locked in its projection for Scottie Scheffler, who is now a three-time major champion after winning the PGA Championship earlier this year. He’s unquestionably the best player in the world right now after piling up 16 wins on the PGA Tour since Feb. 2022, but he has had a few difficulties in the Open Championship. He hasn’t cracked the top five in any of his four starts in golf’s oldest major and was outside the top 20 twice.
However, he has been inside the top 25 in all four of his Open Championship starts and was top 10 twice, including a career-best t-7th finish last year at Royal Troon. He’s top 25 in all four major strokes gained categories on the PGA Tour this season and his improvements to his all-around game, particularly his putting, are a big reason why he could finally be a factor in an Open Championship.
The model has also locked in its projection for Bryson DeChambeau, who is a two-time major champion who also had top-five finishes in both this year’s Masters and PGA Championship. DeChambeau wasn’t able to maintain his top-five streak at last month’s U.S. Open as he missed the cut after winning the major a year ago. Nonetheless, he’s been on quite a run over his last seven major starts as he has five finishes in the top six.
DeChambeau collected his 14th professional win in May in South Korea, but success has been fleeting at this specific major tournament. The Open is the only that he’s never recorded a top 5 at, and he only has one top 25 over his seven British Open starts. DeChambeau missed the cut in 2019 when The Open was last at Royal Portrush, shooting 5-over-par and finishing four strokes back of the cut line. Thus, he’ll look to lean more on recent results, both in majors and this season, rather than his history at The Open Championship. See the full Open Championship projections from the model here.
