Now that we’ve previewed what is needed to succeed at Troon while covering a couple of the favorites, it’s time to take a look at a few longshots that can help you win bets, office pools, or fantasy contests.

I see five players who fit the precision-driven mold required to succeed at Troon, and in addition to their listed odds to win, they’ll likely be undervalued in markets such as top 20, top 40, etc.

Sungjae Im 70/1 to Win

We are getting a good price on Im here because he has missed the cut in all three majors so far this year. But if we look beyond that, he has actually been playing some really good golf. Since the Masters, he has finished no worse than 12th in seven non-major starts worldwide, including a T-4 at the Scottish Open this past weekend. He finished 20th at the Open a year ago, and will make for a great betting option this week for top 10, top 20, or top 40.

Corey Conners 80/1 to Win

Conners is an elite ball-striker who has made the cut at each of his last three Open starts, including a pair of top-30 finishes. He hasn’t missed a cut since the 2023 U.S. Open, and has only finished outside the top 40 in an event five times since then. This likely means some great value this week on Conners, who has a great shot at another top-40 finish on a course that suits his strengths.

Louis Oosthuizen 90/1 to Win

Louis plays great on links courses, and has finished in the top 30 in four of the last five Opens. He seems somewhat forgotten since joining LIV, but he does have two runner-up finishes on that circuit this year, so the form is there. At 90/1 to win this week, we are likely going to get a very appealing price for top 20, top 30, and top 40 for Louis.

Sepp Straka 100/1 to Win

Straka finished 2nd behind Harman a year ago, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see him in contention once again this year. He gains his strokes via accuracy off the tee and an elite approach game. When his game is on he can contend for a high finish vs any field. In his last 11 events, he has finished top 10 at Memorial, Wells Fargo, Colonial, and Heritage. Straka also posted top-20 finishes at both the Players and the Masters. Now, when doesn’t have his A-game, he tends to struggle and miss cuts or finish towards the bottom of the field. But the upside he provides for someone at 100/1 is undeniable. He will likely make for a great option for a top-10 or top-20 bet this week.

Russell Henley 110/1 to Win

Henley is a very consistent player who relies on accuracy off the tee combined with an excellent approach game. (Noticing a pattern here?) He has only missed one cut since last year’s Open. We are getting a very high price for a player ranked 18th in the world. Yes, his Open record is poor. But this course fits him much better than many of the other courses in the Open rota on which he’s struggled.
