Scottie Scheffler has won his second major of the year and his fourth major of his career after dominating the field this week at Royal Portrush to take home The Open Championship. Scheffler entered the 2025 Open Championship as the betting favorite with 6-1 odds, which was actually his longest odds to win a major…

The favorite to win the Britsh Open Championship this weekend is Scottie Scheffler at +500 odds at BetMGM. Scheffler, the world’s No. 1-ranked player, is coming off a T8 finish at the Scottish Open last weekend. He has three wins this season, with the most recent coming in early June at the Memorial Tournament. Scheffler…

There is plenty of intrigue in the 2025 Scottish Open and plenty of ways to bet it. Continue reading for my golf best bets this week for the Scottish Open.…

If you want to make smarter U.S. Open pool picks (and win your league in the process), you need to realize that it’s not just about picking golfers who might perform well. It’s about making strategic leverage picks with upside. That means factoring in something your competitors often overlook: pick popularity. While most entries chase…

Once you’ve compared a golfer to the worst team in Major League Baseball history, it’s tough to top the comparisons, but Scottie Scheffler is not only within a win or two of the 2025 Colorado Rockies in the last month but he is also priced like them. This week, Scheffler is listed as the favorite…

Do you want to win your PGA Championship pool? Like actually win? Or just finish 20th and win no money? Our typical recommendation for mass-entry pools like this — in which everyone can use the same teams/players — involves skipping the most popular sections in many tiers and trying to find comparable players who will…

This is the best week of the year for hardcore golf fans like myself. It’s the first major of the year and most people’s favorite.

Do you want to win your Masters pool? Win. Not just “do well” or come in 20th. Actually win. Then you have to be comfortable with the idea that sometimes you might finish dead last. But fortunately, last pays the same as 20th — nothing. Our typical recommendation for mass-entry pools like this — in…

The Texas Open tees off on Thursday morning as the PGA Tour closes in on Masters Week at TPC San Antonio. The field for the Valero Texas Open is basically divided into two segments — those who are in The Masters and looking for a tune-up ahead of the year’s first major, and those who…

The PGA Tour continues with the 2025 Texas Children’s Houston Open, which tees off on Thursday morning. With a competitive field and a rich tournament history, this event at the Memorial Park Golf Course promises excitement and value for bettors. Below, we’ll break down three of the best bets for the weekend. Here are the…

The Houston Open tees off this Thursday morning from Memorial Park Golf Course in Houston. Scottie Scheffler is the betting favorite for the Houston Open at +350 odds, according to DraftKings. Right behind him is Rory McIlroy at +700. McIlroy is coming off of a victory two weeks ago at The Players Championship. The odds…

The Valspar Championship tees off on Thursday morning from the Copperhead Course at Innisbrook Resort in Palm Harbor, Fla. I hope everyone enjoyed The Players Championship. Even though we didn’t get a Sunday finish, I had a blast sweating all four rounds and the three-hole playoff. Rory McIlroy picked up his second Players Championship win…

The Players Championship is upon is this week, which is hard to believe, as major season is right in front of us. The tournament tees off Thursday morning at the TPC Sawgrass Stadium Course in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. Other than the last two years with Scottie Scheffler running away from the field, this has…

This weekend the PGA Tour continues its Sunshine State swing with the Arnold Palmer Invitational, which tees off on Thursday morning. Bay Hill Golf Course will be the site for this highly anticipated tournament that features virtually all of the top players on the PGA Tour. Here are the last 10 winners of the Arnold…

We have another Signature Event on tap this week at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, which gets starts on Thursday morning at Bay Hill Golf Course in Bay Hill, Fla. I probably say this way more than I should, but this is one of my favorite events of the year. The field is elite, the course…

After the second week at Torrey Pines in nearly a month, the PGA Tour heads to Vallarta for the Mexico Open. We have yet to hit a winner this season, but that’s the nature of the game in golf betting, especially in the outright market. This is the weakest field we have seen in quite…

Editor’s Note: This guest post is from PoolGenius, a provider of data-driven picks and tools that have helped pool players win at more than three times the expected rate. The Genesis Invitational is here, bringing one of the biggest prize pools of the PGA season. Initially set for Riviera Country Club, this year’s event will…

The 2025 Genesis Invitational tees off on Thursday morning from Torrey Pines Golf Course in La Jolla, Calif. The tournament is generally played at Riviera Country Club, but was relocated this year because of the recent fires in the Los Angeles area. I have four bets I’m eyeing this weekend, so let’s get into it…

It’s been a slow start to the 2025 season on the betting front. I’ve had some nice wins in DFS, but I’m still searching for my first outright win in the betting market. We’ve had a few close calls, so hopefully, we can get a break or two to go our way over the next…

The “People’s Open” returns to TPC Scottsdale this week with World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler seeking his third title in four years. But does he make for a strong WM Phoenix Open One and Done pick this week? Or are you better off saving him for tournaments with a higher purse? We’ll cover that and…

The first Signature Event of 2025 arrives this week at the iconic Pebble Beach Golf Links, featuring world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler’s season debut and a stacked field competing for a massive $20 million purse. With $3.6 million to the winner, this tournament demands careful consideration for Golf One and Done pool players looking to…

We have yet to hit a winner this season, but we continue to have solid finishes. For the third event in a row, we have had at least one of our outright finish in the top 10 (Ben Griffin last week). The purpose of this article is to find outright winners, but I generally like…

The PGA Tour begins its 2025 season on Thursday with The Sentry Tournament, which begins at The Plantation Course at Kapalua. The favorite to win The Sentry is Xander Schauffele at +550. He’s followed on the odds board by Justin Thomas at +900, Collin Morikawa at +1100, and Ludvig Aberg at +1400. The Sentry 2025…

The Sony Open kicks off the first full-field event of the 2025 PGA Tour season on Thursday, offering One and Done pool players…

While our bets were never really in contention at The Sentry last week, both Sungjae Im and Ludvig Aberg finished in the top 5. Betting on golf outrights is always a binary result. Your golfer either win the tournament, or they don’t. However, I like when my bets finish near the top of the leaderboard.…

There’s not a lot going on in the golf world during the month of December, but we do have the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas this week. Tiger Woods hosts this event every year but unfortunately won’t be able to tee it up this week. While this isn’t an official PGA Tour event, there’s…

Welcome to the final golf betting preview of the year. The only other tournament on the PGA TOUR schedule is the Hero World Challenge, which is Tiger Woods’ event that typically has a field of fewer than 20 golfers. It’s more of an exhibition than an actual event, although I would love the TOUR to…

Betting outrights in golf can be incredibly painful. I had three outrights last week; two were in the mix on Sunday. Unfortunately, Austin Eckroat went nuclear in the final round to edge out Carson Young (who we had at +7500). We also had Max Greyserman on the card, who finished in fourth. Hopefully, some of…

After a week-long break, the PGA TOUR is back for the World Wide Technology Championship. The FedExCup Fall leaves a lot to be desired in terms of the strength of these fields, but at least we have a golf tournament to sweat this week. World Wide Technology Championship Preview This event will be held at…

It’s hard to look at a course that’s less than 7,100 yards and not overvalue accuracy. I’m not going to try to convince people otherwise, as I also included a great deal of precision when looking into how golfers perform with drivers when the rough gets thick or the fairway percentage drops. However, length isn’t…

After a wild week in Las Vegas, the PGA TOUR now heads to Japan for the 2024 ZOZO Championship. I’ll never understand why the TOUR has to randomly capitalize so many words, but that’s an issue for another day. We haven’t hit an outright in these articles since the TOUR Championship when Collin Morikawa secured…

I discussed this in my article on Friday night, but the AM/PM split ended up receiving a 3.76-shot advantage over the opening two rounds. That includes 41 of the 66 players who made the third round and 18 of the top 23 names on the leaderboard. Unfortunately, for those hoping to gain an edge, the industry…

It has been a weird start to the event this week after a multiple-hour delay on Friday put us in a position where 40 players failed to finish more than five holes, which will include half the field having to come back on Saturday to conclude their second round in some fashion. I talked a…

The PGA Tour heads to Las Vegas for the 2024 Shriners Children’s Open, which takes place at TPC Summerlin. Our staff of golf experts has looked into the odds, surveyed the field and identified their best bets. So, let’s get into our Shriners Children’s Open preview and picks.

2024 Black Desert Championship Round 4 Prediction I talked on Links + Locks this week about how Stephan Jaeger and Harris English might be closing in on positive shifts with their performances. Naturally, neither one made my pre-tournament outright card and instead got led by Ben Kohles, who faltered on Saturday to an even-par 71…

We will dive into my Black Desert Championship breakdown soon, but here are the 1-129 standings (excluding J.B. Holmes, Michael Thorbjornsen, and Ryan Moore withdrawals) for each of the four main statistical categories through the opening two rounds of the event. *** A red “MC’ to the left of a name signifies that a player…

There will always be unknowns about a course when a professional golf tournament hasn’t been held in that state since 1963. That alone will be challenging to handicap the 2024 Black Desert Championship, given the questions surrounding what Utah golf looks like in a vacuum. Still, the construction of a statistical model does start generating…

While I liked the course fit for Kevin Yu at the Sanderson Farms Championship, I certainly didn’t see a win coming. Congrats to anyone who backed him at +12000 last week. The FedExCup Fall continues with a new event — the Black Desert Championship. While this isn’t technically in my neck of the woods (I’m…

Our staff of golf betting analysts has already made some Black Desert Championship picks for this weekend, so let’s get right into a tournament preview and some outright picks..
