After a wild tournament at Torrey Pines the PGA TOUR heads to TPC Scottsdale for the 2021 Waste Management Phoenix Open. While a few big names, such as Dustin Johnson and Patrick Reed, won’t make the trip to Arizona, we’ve got a world-class field ready to tee it up at “The People’s Open” with five of the top-10 players in the world and 21 of the top-50 are set to participate.

Rory McIlroy’s 2019 PGA Tour Highlights

McIlroy is the +850 front-runner to win the Open, with Brooks Koepka (+950), Dustin Johnson (+1600), Jon Rahm (+1600), Tiger Woods (+1600), Justin Rose (+2200), Patrick Cantlay (+2500), Xander Schauffele (+2500), Adam Scott (+2800) and Francesco Molinari (+2800) rounding out the top 10. Jan 22, 2020 It’s not bad to be Brooks Koep—erm, Rory McIlroy these days, especially following a 2020 campaign that saw him capture a FedEx Cup Title. According to golfodds.com, McIlroy is the odds-on favorite. Due to the lack of spectators in attendance, the usually boisterous Phoenix Open will be significantly quieter this time around – especially around the par-3 16th hole. There will be only 5,000 fans allowed on the grounds per day due to COVID-19 protocols. McIlroy is teeing it up at the Phoenix Open for the first time in his career.

While Rory won four times on the PGA Tour in 2019 and now has 26 worldwide wins in 309 career events, he hasn’t won a major since going back-to-back at The Open and PGA Championship in 2014. He has eight top-10 major finishes in that time, however, including two in 2019.

Where is Rory McIlroy’s best chance of winning a major in 2020?

Event2020 VenueBest career resultOdds
MastersAugusta National4th (2015)+800
PGA ChampionshipTPC Harding ParkWon (2012, 2014)+1000
US OpenWinged FootWon (2011)+1000
Open ChampionshipRoyal St. George’sWon (2014)+1200

McIlroy’s best chance of ending his major drought in 2020, according to BetMGM, comes at the one major separating him from the career grand slam. Last year’s event was his first time finishing outside the top-10 at Augusta National since 2013.

He finished T-25 the last time The Open was at Royal St. George’s in 2011, and he has never played professionally at either Winged Foot or TPC Harding Park.

Will Rory McIlroy win a major in 2020?

McIlroy certainly finished up his 2019 season well, and he has been a strong early-year golfer for the majority of his career, as seen by his top finishes a year ago. His frequent trips to the winner’s circle in 2019 should boost his confidence heading to Augusta as a rightful favorite.

I’m betting McIlroy at the Masters and pairing up a green jacket win with each of the other majors, as well. Victories at the Masters and Open, for example, would return a profit of $1,160, for example, with +11600 odds.

Jon Rahm and Rory McIlroy are the two betting favorites for this week's Farmers Insurance Open, but it's the former who has the edge.

Rahm won this tournament in 2017 and is the No. 2-ranked player in the world. He withdrew from last week's American Express after tweaking a muscle, but said the WD was mostly precautionary and he expected to be fine for Torrey Pines.

McIlroy was in the Middle East last week, finishing third at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship. McIlroy led through 54 holes but couldn't close for his first title since 2019.

Here's a look at notable odds to win the Farmers Insurance Open:

+700: Jon Rahm

+850: Rory McIlroy

+1400: Xander Schauffele

+2100: Tony Finau
