The US Open is a little different from the other majors. Normally, it is the hardest course. Last year, I had Bryson for my best golf day ever. I won a small GPP on Fan Duel. I had bet Bryson to win at a fantastic number. I cashed every lineup I played that week as well. Since, DFS Golf is my worst sport by far; it was nice to finally win a GPP, even if it was a smaller single entry contest.
I still have not had a winner since late March in PGA and that can be frustrating, but that is what betting golf is all about. The Ricky Bobby method only applies here, which as you should know, “if you ain’t first, you’re last.” This does not apply to each-ways, or top 20 type of bets, but I am trying to hit the outright winner.
I am all about the sites having PGA odds boosts every week! If they do, I will continue to break them down as well. PGA betting is something I started a few years back and really enjoy. All you need is to hit one winner to have a great year, depending upon the price. Last year, obviously, I picked more than a few winners. I am going to list the other bets I continue to make of top 20’s, top 10’s, etc. I had only been listing my outrights, but I will now list everything.
We have plenty of odds boosts this week, but be aware that only the top 60 and ties make the cut. This is different than top 65 or top 70 that some other events have been.
Until the games start, let’s have some fun and build the pile!
PGA
Justin Thomas 24/1 FD
Rory 22/1 DK
Kokrak 70/1 FD
I was very successful last year when guys started to have their numbers drift. In this case, I have not seen JT this low in a major even in some time. I feel the same way about Rory. Kokrak, well he is 50ish on basically every other site and I like him, and the number made it easier to throw a small sprinkle on.
Bryson/Sixers/Jazz Parlay 24/1 (Various)
I shopped this around to see the best option and every site has a similar price. Look, I have a Bryson problem. I cannot quit him. I am in again, but I want a better number, so here we go.
PGA Odds Boosts You Should Consider Betting
Will Z/Morikawa/Kokrak to all make the cut +250 (FD)
This should pay +140. You know I am on Kokrak and Will Z is also my guy. Morikawa I have bet and won on before, but this is a tough spot. This is such a large boost, but I am going to jump on it. I am in.
Any player to hit a Hole in one in round 1 +385 (DK)
I mean this is fun, but no. Pass.
DJ/Spieth/Finau to all make the cut +150 (DK)
DJ has been all over the place. I am lukewarm on this group. Pass for me.
Bryson to beat Brooks in round 1 +130 (DK)
Despite this being my guy, why would I attack someone else who plays extremely well on tough courses? Pass.
Any Euro to win +275 (DK)
I would rather bet an outright. Pass.
Phil to finish top 20 +400 (Fox)
God no.
Old Guys Boost to win +3200 (Barstool)
I am not listing these old guys because they will not win, especially back-to-back. Pass for me.
First major win Rahm/Hovland/Cantlay/Finau +500 (Barstool)
Nope, I would rather bet the outrights, per usual. This is a weird one. Pass.
DJ/Spieth/Xander to all make the cut +140 (Barstool)
Beware when multiple sites list the same guys in odds boosts. I am passing here. Xander is the safest of them all, but not a fan. I am not betting these guys.
