The 153rd edition of The Open Championship takes place at Royal Portrush, Northern Ireland, on Thursday 17th July.
Sky Bet are offering new players an enhanced offer centred around one of the biggest names in Golf, Rory McIlroy.
You can get a huge 40/1 for the Northern Irishman to make 1+ birdies in Round 1 of The Open.
To claim this offer you will firstly need to click through to the sign up offer which will take you to the enhanced boosted page on Sky Bet.
Once you have arrived to the enhanced boosted page, you will be prompted to click 'GET BONUS', this is where you can register your brand new account with Sky Bet.
Fill in all of the details required and then use the promo code OPENEP and deposit a minimum of £5.
Once you have registered your account and deposited £5, you will then need to place a £1 on Rory Mcllroy to make 1 or more birdies in Round 1 enhanced offer.
To meet the Staking Requirement, you must bet £1 in a single bet. Greater stakes or an accumulation of smaller stakes will not count.
Where the bet wins, the winnings from enhanced odds will be credited as four £10 bet tokens, (the "Free Bets"). If the bet loses (McIlroy does not make a birdie in Round 1) customers will receive £20 in Free Bet credits as two £10 bet tokens.
Free Bets expire 30 days after crediting.
For those of you who might not know exactly what a birdie is, then this is a quick breakdown for you below!
A birdie is achieved when a player completes a hole in one shot under par. For example, this means Rory McIlroy taking just three shots to finish a par four would mean he scores a birdie.
The next question you may then have... how often does Rory McIlroy make a birdie?
McIlroy is averaging 4.22 birdies per round so far in 2025 which ranks him 11th overall for that specific stat. The highest current average is 4.52 by Sepp Straka, so McIlroy is performing very closely to the level of the other top 10 right now.
McIlroy has 194 birdies from 46 rounds which makes Sky Bet's 40/1 enhanced offer absolutely brilliant value for new players looking to claim it.
