Making the cut at majors is no easy feat, even for the world's best golfers. Betting on the Open Championship cut line is a staple of golf betting every summer.

Odds to make the cut at the Open Championship

Even the big names can miss the cut at a major like the British Open. Prior to the tournament, sportsbooks will give odds on all the biggest names for their chance to make or miss the cut at Royal Troon.

Betting on the cut line

Betting on the cut line is a very popular way to wager on golf tournaments and draws a ton of attention for major tournaments like the 2025 British Open. 

Oddsmakers set a projected cut line score heading into the event, and you can bet on whether the final cut line will be Over or Under that projected score. 

For example, the cut line for the 2021 British Open was +1. Oddsmakers posted an Over/Under a projected cut line of +4.5, which means if you thought the cut line would be +4 or lower, you would bet the Under, and if you thought it would be +5 or higher, you would bet the Over.

British Open cut rule

The British Open cut rule advances the top-70 players on the leaderboard after Round 2 (plus ties) to the final two rounds, trimming the 156-player starting field by approximately half.
