Betting Odds Show Rory McIlroy Not Expected To Win Major In 2020

When it comes to both talent and confidence, Rory McIlroy certainly isn’t lacking by any means. After setting the record straight and declaring his intentions to become the world’s best golfer for the foreseeable future, McIlroy enters 2020 looking to live up to that pledge by adding to his four major title wins. However, the oddsmakers don’t expect him to earn even one major in 2020. Let’s take a closer look at the Rory McIlroy odds that have been posted to see if there’s any value betting on him to have some success.

WILL RORY MCILROY WIN A MAJOR IN 2020?

NO -275
YES +200

It really does feel like there’s some value on the ‘Yes’ bet here. McIlroy has been absolutely on fire since the end of last season and there is no doubt that if he keeps up his current form, he will be in contention to add a fifth major title to his resume. Will it happen at THE Players Championship, The Masters, PGA Championship or The Open Championship? He’s finished in the Top 9 in 12 of his last 21 majors, so he has a chance to be competitive in all of them.

RORY MCILROY MAJOR WINS IN 2020

NO MAJOR WINS -275
WINS AT LEAST 1 MAJOR +200
WINS AT LEAST 2 MAJORS +1400
WINS AT LEAST 3 MAJORS +9000
WINS ALL 4 MAJORS +30000

The challenge with McIlroy is while he’s been competitive in majors, he hasn’t exactly brought home the wins. Sure, he’s one of the top golfers in the world and you can almost take it to the bank that in two of the majors, he’ll finish in the Top 10. He’s done that in six straight years. However, the wins have not been as consistent. He hasn’t won a major since 2014 and has just one runner-up finish since then. While he’s been buzzing around, he hasn’t really been in good position to win at the end of the day.

WHICH PLAYER WILL WIN A MAJOR FIRST IN 2020?

NEITHER PLAYER WINS A MAJOR IN 2020 -160
RORY MCILROY +250
TIGER WOODS +400

Since we have already established that McIlroy has a good shot to win a major in 2020, this prop bet comes down to deciding whether or not we think Tiger will not only win one as well but that he will beat him to the punch and win one before Rory does. First, it seems like a stretch to think that Tiger is going to win his second major in as many years after last year’s incredible performance at The Masters. Second, the idea that he will not only win a major but also win one before McIlroy does seems like a stretch as well. All things considered, this bet seems like even better value than the first two wagers mentioned since we can get Rory to win one before Tiger at +250 odds. You can also fade both of them at -160.
