Open Championship 2025: Chris Fallica’s Final ‘Bear Bets’ Unveiled Ahead of Royal Portrush Tee-Off

With the 153rd Open Championship poised to tee off this week at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland, FOX Sports’ Chris ‘The Bear’ Fallica has released his highly anticipated ‘Bear Bets’ – real wagers he’s making before the tournament gets underway. Golf enthusiasts and bettors alike are keen to see where Fallica, known for his sharp insights, is placing his money.

Fallica’s outright and top-finish market picks feature prominently, with Viktor Hovland highlighted as a strong contender. ‘The Bear’ is backing Hovland for an outright win, as well as top-10 and top-20 finishes, citing his improved game on Open-style greens and recent form. Other notable picks for top finishes include Sepp Straka, Matt Fitzpatrick, Padraig Harrington, Cam Young, and Chris Gotterup, each with compelling reasons based on recent performance and course suitability.

Beyond individual player markets, Fallica also delves into head-to-head matchups and, perhaps most intriguingly, a series of ‘miss cut’ predictions. Among those Fallica expects to struggle and miss the cut are high-profile names like Dustin Johnson, Phil Mickelson, Justin Thomas, Hideki Matsuyama, and even Jon Rahm, all based on their recent form, Open Championship history, or potential challenges with the Royal Portrush conditions. These bold predictions are sure to spark debate as the tournament unfolds.

As the golf world turns its attention to Royal Portrush, Fallica’s comprehensive breakdown provides critical insights for those looking to place their wagers before the first drive.
