I really love betting Golf. You get four days to watch and enjoy and hopefully cheer on your wagers. My kids have figured out who I have bet by asking if we want this guy to make a shot or hit it into a tree. The weather is supposed to be rough this weekend in Florida and that could mean chaos. While this even is normally won by a name, I have had some success betting people when numbers seem off. The only way to know that numbers are off is to pay attention and bet golf every week. I did mention some of these bets earlier in the week as the numbers have changed. I got the best number on two of these by far. I know Brooks has been shaky, but there is nor reason he should be 50/1 in any golf tournament. Adam Scott has been playing so well, but is afraid to hit his driver. While that is not great, he keeps hanging around the top of the leaderboard. Will Z is due for his breakthrough win and it could just come this weekend. Alex Noren is my long shot, but he has played well in tough conditions.
I actually like two odds boosts listed on the sites, one I am calling the “just incase John Rahm finally goes full John Rahm.” Either way, I am super excited for this event, mixed with the NBA and college hoops all day long for the next four days. I am sure I will fire some live bets as well and will post them on Twitter.
Until the games start, let’s have some fun and build the pile!
PGA
Brooks 50/1 DK
Scott 55/1 FD
Will Z 50/1 FOX
Noren 120/1 FD
PGA ODDS Boosts
Hideki/Rahm/Morikawa to win +500 (DK)
This is an odd one. Rahm is roughly 10/1 everywhere at this point as he is the best player in the world. By giving up +500 you get to add two fantastic players. I normally never bet these, but since the limits are so small, I am going to take a shot. The Rahm week is coming.
Rahm/JT/Scheffler/Hovland to all make the cut +150 (DK)
Rahm -600
Scheffler -360
Hovland -370
JT -460
This should pay around +130 or so. I like this. Rahm is the best player in the world, Scheffler has been on fire and Hovland could have won last week. JT won here last year! I am in!
JT and Morikawa to each shoot 71 or under in round 1 +160 (FD)
We have been told weather may be an issue here. Without any other knowledge, who knows what a good score looks like considering the weather? Pass for me.
Any hole in one on 17th Hole +275 (Fox)
Yeah, there have been seven holes in one on this hole all time. This should pay a lot more. Pass for me.
Rory and Hovland to both finish top 20 +300 (Includes Ties Fox)
Rory is -115 and Hovland is -105 to finish inside the top 20. This should pay around +265. Ehhh, this is not that large of a boost and both players are barely favored to land here. Pass for me.
Morikawa and Rahm to both finish top 10 +600 (Includes Ties FOX)
Morkiawa is +140 and Rahm is +135 to finish inside the top 10. This should pay +464. While this is a boost, this is asking a lot from two wagers that are plus money. Pass for me.
Cantlay/Scheffler/Hidedki One of them to win +900 (FOX)
I am out on this. I like having the favorite in the one above and half price versus this. Pass for me.
Spieth/Scheffler/Rahm to all make the cut +220 (Barstool)
Spieth has not played well here, even when he was on fire last year. Pass for me. I do like the other two though.
