Probability

29%

Morikawa won the 2021 Open Championship at Royal St George's – his iron and wedge play is considered ideal for links conditions. Outright win odds: ~+3000 (implied ~3.2% probability at DraftKings/FanDuel). For players at this price, historical top-10 rates at majors run ~28–32%. He is approximately the 9th–10th favourite in the field; Rahm's top-10 quote (+240 at FanDuel) provides a comparable anchor. No existing platform prediction names Morikawa – he is the only former Open champion among the market favourites without platform coverage.

Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team clinches the 2026 Formula 1 Constructors' Championship at the Las Vegas Grand Prix (November 21–22, 2026)

Mercedes leads the constructors' standings with 630 points over Ferrari (504) by a 126-point margin (as of Nov 8, 2026; source: grandepremio.com / skysports.com). According to grandepremio.com, the Las Vegas GP (Nov 20–22) is the earliest possible race for a mathematical title decision: a lead of ≥86 points after the race would clinch the constructors' title early. With four remaining races (Brazil, Las Vegas, Qatar, Abu Dhabi) and this cushion, even a mediocre Las Vegas result suffices. Bookmaker odds imply >85% for Mercedes' 2026 constructors' title.
