Rory McIlroy: U.S. Open Tournament player props

Wire to Wire (+6500)

This prop refers to a golfer leading after each round of the tournament. This is certainly a hard thing to pull off, especially because a golfer can easily win the overall tournament, while not winning each round. For what it’s worth, McIlroy is coming off a tournament win and he didn’t win a single round. He does have the best odds to pull off this feat so if you are going to pick any golfer to do it, McIlroy makes sense.

To Make the Cut (-750)

This will be the 10th golf event that McIlroy has played this year. He has made the cut in nine of them. The lone time that he missed the cut was at the Valero Texas Open in April. Not only has he made the cut nine times in his last 10 tournaments, but he has finished in the top-eight in four of the five tournaments since missing the cut. This includes McIlroy winning last weekend’s RBC Canadian Open. Obviously, the odds heavily favor him making the cut, but he has been on a hot enough streak that it feels like free money.
