Open de Espana 2026 at a glance
The market, read in numbers
The bookmakers made Ludvig Aberg favourite for the Open de Espana at 9/1. That is an implied 10.0% before the margin comes out, and 8.6% once the book is normalised back to 100%. On that number this is a moderate favourite rather than a standout, with Jon Rahm next in at 10/1.
The five shortest players in the market share 28.1% of the win chance between them, which leaves 71.9% spread across the other 127 priced players. That is a fairly typical shape for a full-field event: a recognisable top of the market, and a long tail where the prices are set with much less care. 101 players are priced at 100/1 or bigger.
Take the best price available on every player and the overround on this market is 9.1%. The cheapest single bookmaker on this event is Betfair Exchange at 17.4% (1 @ 1/1), so taking the best price player by player is worth 8.3 points of margin before a single selection is made. We explain how the number is built in what are the bookies' margins on golf, and which books are worth having an account with in which bookie is best for golf.
Our model prices every player in the field from world ranking points, recent form and the strength of the field, then compares that price against the market. Where our number is higher than the bookmakers', there is an edge - that is the Discrepancy column in the table below. Picks are the players with the biggest edge once the each-way terms on offer are taken into account, which is why a 150/1 shot at 1/5 odds and 8 places can be a better bet than the same player at 150/1 and 5 places elsewhere.
