The Open 2015 is about getting under way at St Andrews, the home of golf.

But sadly it's missing the world No 1, Rory McIlroy, due to the Northern Irishman breaking an ankle during a kick-about with friends.

The absence of the would-have-been-favourite has seen attention turn to Jordan Spieth, who is targeting his third major in a row having already won the Masters and US Open this year.

Meanwhile, former world No 1 Tiger Woods continues to generate as much interest as those in much better form and higher up the rankings than himself.

Here, with the help of Betfair, we take a look at some of the best bets surrounding the American duo, as well as the overall winner odds.
