The world's greatest golfer might not be at Royal Birkdale for The British Open but there is still a top class field heading for Merseyside.

The withdrawal of Tiger Woods makes it one of the most wide open Majors in recent years.

Sergio Garcia is Boylesports market leader at 10/1 with the Spaniard looking to banish the memories of Carnoustie 12 months ago.

However, challenges may come from Ernie Els 14/1 and Defending Champion Padraig Harrington at 20/1.

Boylesports are offering ¼ odds 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 & 7 for The Open as well as a fantastic special for the third major of the season:
