7 Places Paid for The British Open

Whilst several bookies offer just 5 places on the biggest golf betting event of the year Paddy Power are once again leading the way down the fairway to payout on the 1st seven players at the top of the final leaderboard.

With Tiger Woods in fine form after his win at the AT&T National over the weekend the world number 1 is just 2/1 to win at Turnberry next week, which if the betting is to be believed could make the each way odds to seven places that Paddy Power are offering all the more valuable.

Paddy Power, spokesman for the bookie, said: “In this day and age it’s strange that bookies try to get away with offering five places for The Open – why would you sign for a bogey when you’ve been offered a birdie?

“Golf has thrown up so many surprise victors in the last few years that punters need a run for their money at the golf majors so it will be intriguing to see which of the other bookies follow us down the fairway with this offer.”
