PGA Open Championship 2019 Golf
Who are you picking to win the 2019 Open Championship? That's what everyone wants to know this time of year, and rarely has the decision at the top been more difficult with such a strong field featuring generational talent going head-to-head at Royal Portrush in what is now suddenly the final major of the year. Our three CBS Sports experts have their picks, and if you keep on reading, you'll be able to find out exactly who they think will win along with their surprise predictions and score projections.
All eyes are on Rory McIlroy, who is looking to win his fifth major in his home nation of Northern Ireland at a course where he once famously shot a 61 as a youngster. That has not left the minds of the locals -- or Rory's supporters -- and there should be no surprise that he enters this week as the 8-1 favorite.
McIlroy has two major top 10s this year and 10 over last five years but no victories in the biggest events of the year since going back-to-back at The Open and PGA Championship back in 2014. Arguably playing some of the best golf of his life, perhaps this is the time McIlroy puts it all together.
With The Open Championship now standing as the final major of the golf season, it will be interesting to see how the field adjusts to a do-or-die atmosphere at Royal Portrush. Narrowing this field down to a champion and top finishers is a tough task, but we here at CBS Sports are certainly up to it.
