Matthew Jordan has +35000 odds in the 2025 Open Championship at Royal Portrush Golf Club. He will try for another strong showing after his 10th-place finish at this tournament in 2024. In the past year, Jordan has played in four tournaments. His best finish was 10th, his average finish was 28th, and he made the cut two times (50.0%).

The 2025 Open Championship is a tournament for long shots. Shane Lowry won at this year’s host course, the Royal Portrush Golf Club, in 2019 as a +8000 long shot before he teed off in Round 1. He wasn’t a favorite to win before Round 2 or Round 3 before becoming the overwhelming favorite heading into the final round.

The 2025 Open Championship continues on Friday, July 18 when the second round tees off at Royal Portrush Golf Club in Portrush, Northern Ireland.

After Royal Portrush crowns the Champion Golfer of the Year, the British Open will head to Royal Birkdale in 2026.
