Betting Favorites to Win 2021 Genesis Invitational

by WagerHome Blog on February 17, 2021

After a Pebble Beach Pro-Am (minus the amateurs) that had a relatively weak field, in that none of the world’s Top 10 players were in attendance, this weekend’s Genesis Invitational at Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades features a packed lineup of superstars.

Seven of the world’s top 10 players are in the field, including, in order of ranking, Dustin Johnson, Jon Rahm, Justin Thomas, Xander Schauffele, Rory McIlroy, Collin Morikawa, and Bryson DeChambeau. This group includes the reigning FedEx Cup champion in Johnson and the winners of all three majors that were played in 2020 – Johnson (Masters), Morikawa (PGA), and DeChambeau (U.S. Open).

We’ve also got an impressive 19 former Riviera champions in the field, making this one of the most competitive non-major tournaments in golf we’ll see this year.

Favorites to Win Genesis Invitational

  • Dustin Johnson (+550)
  • Jon Rahm (+1200)
  • Rory McIlroy (+1200)
  • Xander Schauffele (+1200)
  • Justin Thomas (+1400)
  • Bryson DeChambeau (+1600)
  • Patrick Cantlay (+1600)
  • Brooks Koepka (+2200)
  • Tony Finau (+2500)
  • Daniel Berger (+2800)

Johnson was a winner here in 2017, and the world’s No. 1 ranked player is the favorite to win again. DeChambeau, who hasn’t played in more than six weeks, finished tied for fifth here last year with four rounds under par.

Riviera is known for its small greens, so being a heavy hitter isn’t the most important attribute. But he obviously handled the course well in 2020.

Another notable favorite on this board is Patrick Cantlay, who just finished tied for third at Pebble Beach. The winner of Pebble Beach, Daniel Berger, rounds out the top 10 at Riviera, paying +2800 to be a back-to-back PGA Tour winner.

Other Solid Bets

Bubba Watson is a three-time winner at Riviera – 2014, 2016, and 2018 – and is paying +4000 in 2021. His every-other-year win streak was broken here in 2020, but he obviously has a game that is built for this course.

Last year’s winning 72 holes at the Genesis Invitational from Adam Scott was a repeat of his victory here 15 years earlier, though his win in 2005 was unofficial since it came on just 36 holes. He is paying +3300.

California native Rickie Fowler is back at Riviera for the first time since 2014. He’s all the way down at +10000.

genesis invitational

Jordan Speith, who just missed his first PGA Tour win since 2017 at Pebble Beach, where he led at 36 and 54 holes, is paying +3000.

Pay Per Head Software

The PGA season is in full swing (pun intended). The green flag has officially dropped on the NASCAR season. The NCAA Tournament is just around the corner, then comes baseball and the NBA and Stanley Cup Playoffs.

With such a packed sports betting calendar, if you are an independent bookmaker who hasn’t yet partnered with a pay per head software provider, you are missing out.

Favorites, Darkhorses, Longshots to win Pebble Beach Pro-Am

by WagerHome Blog on February 9, 2021

We do now know that the world’s No. 1-ranked player, Dustin Johnson, will not win this weekend’s Pebble Beach Pro-Am. He withdrew from the tournament Monday night, leaving the popular event without any of the world’s top 10 players. Patrick Cantlay, at No. 11, is the highest-ranked player in the field.

So with Johnson out, who is the most likely to win on Sunday? And who is the best candidate to sneak up on the rest of the field?

The Favorites

  • Patrick Cantlay (+700)
  • Daniel Berger (+1400)
  • Paul Casey (+1600)
  • Jason Day (+2000)
  • Will Zalatoris (+2000)
  • Jordan Spieth (+2200)
  • Francesco Molinari (+2500)
  • Si Woo Kim (+3000)
  • Sam Burns (+3300)
  • Cameron Davis (+3300)
  • Max Homa (+3300)
  • Kevin Streelman (+3300)

With the absence of the top players, this really does become Cantlay’s tournament to lose. The California native has never won at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am, but he does have a top 10 finish, and last year, he finished tied for 11th place at -8.

He finished in second place at The American Express in La Quinta in January. He also plays very well on a shorter course like Pebble Beach.

Daniel Berger finished in fifth place at Pebble Beach last year and was seventh at the Sony Open in January. Paul Casey just finished in eighth at The American Express and was the runner-up at Pebble Beach in 2019.

Jason Day has never won at Pebble Beach, but he was a runner-up in 2018 and has six top 10 finishes at the event in his last eight appearances.

Darkhorses and Longshots

Looking a little further down that table, you want to keep an eye on Si Woo Kim. He was the winner at The American Express in La Quinta and paid a very handsome +5500.

At +3300 here, and considering he finished tied for fourth place in 2019 at Pebble Beach, Kim is an enticing play.

pebble beach pro-am

Phil Mickelson has had a tough last year of golf, but he’s the all-time earnings leader at Pebble Beach, and he’s won this tournament five previous times. He’s paying +4500.

For an even bigger longshot, take a look at Brandt Snedeker at +8000. He’s earned those long odds with three missed cuts in his last four tournaments, and the 40-year-old isn’t the player he used to be.

But he did win at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am in 2013 and 2015, he has loads of experience on this course, and he still has a good enough short game to make a run.

Pay Per Head Software

We are just at the start of a packed PGA Tournament schedule and preparing to begin the run-up to the NCAA Tournament. What that means for independent bookmakers is that now is the perfect time to get connected with pay per head software provider.

Farmers Insurance Open: Betting Favorites at Torrey Pines

by WagerHome Blog on January 27, 2021

Not all of the sports news and betting focus is on the Super Bowl these next two weeks. The PGA Tour tees it up at Torrey Pines for one of the more important January tournaments in quite some time, the Farmers Insurance Open.

What makes this year’s Farmers Insurance Open so important is that the picturesque San Diego golf course is also the site of the U.S. Open in June. So if players are looking for a pre-Open trial run, and if sports bettors are looking to spot the early Open favorites, this is the tournament to watch. The event tees off on January 28 and runs through January 31.

Farmers Insurance Open: Current Odds to Win

 

  • Jon Rahm (+650)
  • Rory McIlroy (+800)
  • Xander Schauffele (+1200)
  • Tony Finau (+2000)
  • Harris English (+2200)
  • Patrick Reed (+2500)
  • Hideki Matsuyama (+2500)
  • Viktor Hovland (+3000)
  • Matthew Wolff (+3300)
  • Scottie Scheffler (+3300)
  • Marc Leishman (+3300)
  • Sungjae Im (+3300)

Because of the location, this weekend’s field has 10 of the top 20 in the World Golf Rankings. Everyone wants to take a crack at Torrey Pines, which will have both the North Course and South Course in play this weekend. When the U.S. Open is here in June, it will only be played on the 7,700-yard South Course.

Jon Rahm is the natural favorite with three Top 5 finishes at the Farmers. He finished tied for seventh at the Sentry Tournament of Champions three weeks ago.

Rory McIlroy is back in the States for the first time since the Masters in November, and he’s near the top of the favorites board. He just finished third at the HSBC Golf Championship in Abu Dhabi. Last year at the Farmers, he finished tied for third, following up a fifth-place finish in 2019.

Xander Schauffele is a California native, but he’s missed the cut in four of the five Farmers Insurance Opens he’s played.

 

Farmers Insurance Open

Farmers Insurance Open: Others to Watch

Brooks Koepka is just outside of the top group of favorites, paying +3500 at the Farmers this weekend. It’s not a tournament he has played often, with a missed cut in 2017 and 41st place finish in 2015.

Keep an eye on John Huh. He hasn’t won on the PGA Tour since 2012, but he does have a pair of top 25 finishes at the Farmers. He’s a long shot at +12500, but he has proven that he can handle the course at Torrey Pines.

All four current reigning major championship holders – Bryson DeChambeau (U.S. Open), Collin Morikawa (PGA), Shane Lowry (2019 Open Championship), and Dustin Johnson (Masters) – are sitting out this tournament.

Updated 2020 Masters Betting Odds

by WagerHome Blog on November 10, 2020

In a scheduling quirk brought on by the delay in spring sports because of the COVID-19 pandemic, just two weeks before we celebrate Thanksgiving, we can be thankful that the best major golf tournament of the year will be played.

It’s six months late, but Masters week is here (minus fans on the course). And as the sports world focuses on Augusta National for the 84th time in history, sports bettors will have the weekend trifecta of college football, the NFL, and premiere golf wagering.

Top 2020 Masters Betting Odds

  • Bryson DeChambeau (+800)
  • Dustin Johnson (+900)
  • Jon Rahm (+1000)
  • Justin Thomas (+1100)
  • Rory McIlroy (+1200)
  • Xander Schauffele (+1400)
  • Brooks Koepka (+1600)
  • Patrick Cantlay (+2200)
  • Tony Finau (+2500)
  • Bubba Watson (+2800)
  • Hideki Matsuyama (+2800)
  • Patrick Reed (+2800)
  • Tyrrell Hatton (+2800)

U.S. Open champion Bryson DeChambeau is the 2020 Masters Betting favorite to win, and he has easily been the most exciting golfer on tour this summer.

Dustin Johnson finished tied for second at last year’s Masters and has finished in the top two in five of his previous six tournaments played this year. Jon Rahm was a fourth-place finisher in Augusta in 2018, won the Memorial this year, and at one point in 2020, he was ranked No. 1 in the world.

Rory McIlroy is still in search of his first Masters win, the only major championship that still eludes him. It’s been an up and down year for McIlroy, but he did finish in the top-10 at the U.S. Open in September.

Other Notable 2020 Masters Betting Odds

Collin Morikawa (+3300)
Tiger Woods (+4000)
Jordan Spieth (+6600)
Phil Mickelson (+10000)
Ian Poulter (+10000)

2020 Masters BettingTiger Woods is the defending Masters champion, and he looks to go back-to-back at the age of 44. On the opposite end of the spectrum is Collin Morikawa, who looks to become the first tour rookie to win at Augusta since Fuzzy Zoeller in 1979. He won the PGA Championship in August.

Jordan Speith was a Masters winner in 2015, and Phil Mickelson has three green jackets. Both would provide big paydays if they win again this year. And don’t sleep on Ian Poulter, who sits at +10000 in 2020 Masters betting odds. Poulter hasn’t played much in the United States this year, but he had two top-10 finishes in Europe in October. The Englishman has never won a major title but does have a pair of top-10 finishes at The Masters.

2020 Masters Betting Pay Per Head Software

If you are an independent bookmaker engaging in 2020 Masters betting, along with the full slate of weekend football games, and you aren’t yet partnered with a pay per head software provider, you are leaving money on the table. As we move closer to the return of college basketball, and the new NBA season in December, now is the time to act.

Betting Odds to Win 2020 Masters

by WagerHome Blog on October 27, 2020

The disruption to the sports schedule in the spring cost us one of the very best events when the NCAA Tournament was canceled. And always on the heels of the Final Four is the very best of golf’s major championships, The Masters.

We missed it then, but instead of a cancellation, golf’s annual visit to Augusta, Ga., was simply postponed, and now we are just two weeks away. The ceremonial opening tee shot, lightning-fast greens, Amen Corner, the walk up 18, and, of course, the awarding of the green jacket, are six months later than normal, but they are coming.

As are the golfers who have set their sights on winning at Augusta National Golf Club.

Favorites to Win

The first tee shot will be struck on Nov. 12, and these are the current favorites to win the green jacket on Nov. 15.

  • Bryson Dechambeau (+800)
  • Rory McIlroy (+1100)
  • Dustin Johnson (+1200)
  • Jon Rahm (+1200)
  • Justin Thomas (+1200)
  • Xander Schauffele (+1400)
  • Brooks Koepka (+2000)
  • Tyrrell Hatton (+2200)
  • Patrick Cantlay (+2500)
  • Collin Morikawa (+2800)
  • Patrick Reed (+2800)
  • Webb Simpson (+2800)
  • Bubba Watson (+2800)
  • Tiger Woods (+2800)

For the very first time in his professional career, Bryson Dechambeau is a favorite to win a major championship. For the six-stroke winner of the U.S. Open in September, he is clearly deserving of his spot atop the favorites.

The next bunching of five players have all been playing well, and any one of them could get past Dechambeau to win their first-ever Masters championship. Dustin Johnson is perhaps the best-placed as a Masters runner-up last year and top-10 finishes in 2016 and 2018. He didn’t play in 2017.

It’s worth noting that of the golfers on the favorites list, only the final two – Bubba Watson and Tiger Woods – have won the tournament before. Watson has two wins – 2012 and 2014 – and Woods has five Masters titles, including last year.

masters

If Woods is to defend his title successfully, he will tie Jack Nicklaus for the most Masters victories all-time with six.

Collin Morikawa at +2800 is an interesting bet. He’s a first-time Masters participant, and only three first-timers have won at Augusta. But he did win the PGA Championship this summer, and despite a disappointing showing at the U.S. Open, he remains one of the hottest golfers since tour play resumed in June.

Pay Per Head Software

It’s not just The Masters coming up on the PGA Tour’s schedule. There is golf scheduled throughout the winter, along with college and pro football, a December start for the new NBA season, college basketball in November, and on and on it goes.

Independent bookmakers looking to take advantage of the crowded sports betting season should be exploring the benefits of a pay per head software partner. Get your own customizable website, your pick of sports and wager types, and detail client reports – all for a small per person fee.

2020 US Open Betting Preview

by WagerHome Blog on September 15, 2020

Our patience through the lean sports days of COVID-19 are being rewarded in spades. As if the NBA and NHL playoffs, the final weeks of the MLB season, and the opening week of the NFL isn’t enough, how about we add a major golf championship to that mix of sports betting delights?

It’s the 120th US Open, returning to Winged Foot for the first time since 2006, where over par is expected to once again be what the champion shoots. Historically speaking, this is the most difficult course that has hosted the US Open, with four of its five winners finishing the 72nd hole above par.

As for the favorite to be the last man standing on Sunday, it’s Dustin Johnson by quite a wide margin.

US Open Odds to Win

  • Dustin Johnson (+650)
  • Jon Rahm (+1100)
  • Xander Schauffele (+1400)
  • Rory McIlroy (+1400)
  • Justin Thomas (+1400)
  • Bryson Dechambeau (+1800)
  • Webb Simpson (+2000)
  • Collin Morikawa (+2000)
  • Tiger Woods (+2800)
  • Patrick Cantlay (+2800)
  • Tony Finau (+2800)

Absent from this list is the defending champion, Gary Woodland. He’s on the board at +5000 to defend his title.

The problem with Woodland is that he hasn’t won on tour since that win at Pebble Beach in 2019. He hasn’t had a bad year, with seven top-10 finishes. It’s just not enough to make him a favorite.

Tiger Woods at +2800 is an interesting number. It’s worth noting that at the 2006 US Open at Winged Foot, he failed to make the cut. However, he does come into it this year nice and rested since he missed the Tour Championship.

us open

If you have a soft spot for history, you might consider Phil Mickelson at +8000. The US Open is the one grand slam he hasn’t won.

If Mickelson were to win at Winged Foot, he would be the oldest winner of the US Open and just the sixth golfer to win the career grand slam.

One golfer you want to avoid is Rory McIlroy at +1400. For a guy who has just one top-10 finish since June, he is far too high on this list of favorites.

His driving accuracy has also been at an all-time low for him, making the tough rough at Winged Foot even rougher for him. If there is a top-10 favorite as a threat to miss the cut, it’s McIlroy.

Pay Per Head Software

The best thing about the US Open in mid-September is that there is still another major golf tournament to come. Add that with the coming baseball playoffs, the NBA and NHL playoffs, and full weekend schedules of football, and if you are an independent bookmaker who hasn’t yet discovered the advantages of pay per head software, now is the time.

You get your own completely customizable website, and your clients get automatic odds on sports from around the world plus 24/7 customer service. Get a demo today at WagerHome.com, and then sign up for four weeks of service that are absolutely free.

Tour Championship Betting Preview

by WagerHome Blog on September 1, 2020

Outside of Chicago at the FedEx Cup semifinals last week, it was Jon Rahm taking the 72-hole victory. But that victory was not enough to pull him past Dustin Johnson, who remains the Cup leader as the final 30 golfers head to the Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta.

The standings heading into the final are not a mere formality. They come with a very real stroke advantage for the golfers based on how they are ranked.

Each of them, according to the standings, will begin play on Thursday with a score already related to par. It starts with No. 1 Dustin Johnson at -10, No. 2 Jon Rahm at -8, No. 3 Justin Thomas at -7, and on it goes.

Top 10 According to the Odds

There are a couple of different things you can bet on this weekend as it relates to winning. You can bet on the winner of the Tour Championship without the bonus strokes (the first odds posted), or you can bet on the winner, including the bonus strokes (the second number posted).

Here are the top 10 golfers this week, ranked by the odds to win the tournament without the bonus strokes.

  • Jon Rahm (+500/+250)
  • Dustin Johnson (+500/+188)
  • Justin Thomas (+900/+500)
  • Rory McIlroy (+1000/+2500)
  • Webb Simpson (+1100/+1000)
  • Xander Schauffele (+1100/+2500)
  • Bryson DeChambeau (+1600/+2200)
  • Collin Morikawa (+1800/+2000)
  • Daniel Berger (+1800/+2800)
  • Tony Finau (+1800/+6000)

Coming off the strength of his win last weekend, Jon Rahm is tied with Dustin Johnson as the straight-up winner in Atlanta. But when you factor in the two strokes that Johnson has earned over the season, he is the favorite at +188.

tour championship

Remove last weekend’s second round from Daniel Berger’s total, and he played quite well. He starts this tournament six shots back, but with his solid iron play, he could easily make that up over 72 holes. Paying +2800 makes him an intriguing play.

Webb Simpson also makes for an interesting play. He skipped Chicago to rest up for Atlanta but still only starts four strokes back.

There’s no denying the season he’s had, with wins at the RBC Heritage and Phoenix Open and a total of eight Top 10 finishes. At +1100/+1000, he makes for good value no matter which direction you want to take your bet.

Pay Per Head Software

Normally, the Tour Championship wraps up the golf season. But in this far from normal year, the PGA Tour season is going to extend well into November.

If you are an independent bookmaker taking bets on golf, basketball, baseball, and the upcoming NFL season, don’t leave money on the table. You need to maximize your profits by partnering with a top-flight pay per head software provider.

Everything is customizable to your needs – the website, odds and sports, client reports, and so much more. It’s a small fee per client, plus you get four weeks free to try it out. See a demo today at WagerHome.com.

BMW Championship Betting Preview

by WagerHome Blog on August 25, 2020

The PGA Tour moves on to the second leg of the FedEx Cup Playoffs, and the field for the BMW Championship at Olympia Fields Country Club just outside of Chicago is as much about who is in it as who is not.

Failing to qualify last weekend at the Northern Trust were Brooks Koepka, Phil Mickelson, Justin Rose, Rickie Fowler, 2019 British Open champion Shane Lowry, and 2015 FedEx Cup winner Jordan Spieth. Those guys alone would make quite a field.

But not to worry. The field that did move on in the playoffs is quite impressive, and they present several great betting options this coming weekend.

The BMW Championship Favorites

The field is at 70, which will be reduced to 30 after this tournament, and these are who the bookmakers think are most likely to win this weekend’s no-cut tournament.

  • Dustin Johnson (+700)
  • Jon Rahm (+950)
  • Bryson DeChambeau (+1100)
  • Justin Thomas (+1200)
  • Rory McIlroy (+1600)
  • Webb Simpson (+1800)
  • Xander Schauffele (+1800)
  • Collin Morikawa (+2000)
  • Daniel Berger (+2000)
  • Jason Day (+2900)
  • Patrick Reed (+2900)
  • Tony Finau (+2900)

Dustin Johnson as the favorite is the no-brainer of no-brainers. At the Northern Trust, he lapped the field, winning by an eye-popping 11 strokes. It was the largest margin of victory on the PGA Tour since Phil Mickelson won by 13 shots in 2006.

This is a course-rotating tournament, so we don’t put too much weight on past champions. But for the record, the uber-hot Johnson did win the BMW Championship in 2016. Johnson is now back to No. 1 in the world.

Rory McIlroy has five career wins at FedEx Cup events – tied with Johnson for most ever – and at +2000, he presents an intriguing number.

The wild card here is Collin Morikawa. The PGA Championship winner went into last weekend ranked second in the FedEx Cup standings, but shockingly missed the cut for only the second time in his young career. A week ago, his +2000 would have been great value. Now it’s a bit up in the air.

Other Golfers to Watch

No matter how he is playing, Tiger Woods always has eyes on him. He’s in the midst of four tournaments in five weeks and comes in at +3100 for this weekend.

bmw championship

Louis Oosthuizen was the last man to make the BMW field, moving up from 99th to 70th and qualifying with a birdie on the 72nd hole. He’s +5000 in this one.

Jim Herman, on the back of his surprising win at the Wyndham Championship, is in the field and plays the longest odds at +42000.

Pay Per Head Software

Sports may still be free of live fans, but the competition is intense, and the wagering action has never been better. The FedEx Cup Playoffs, the NBA and NHL Playoffs, and Major League Baseball are all happening at the same time.

If you are an independent bookmaker looking to capitalize on all that is going on in sports, you need a pay per head partner. At WagerHome.com, you can get a demo today, and then begin your free four-week trial.

The PGA Northern Trust Betting Preview

by WagerHome Blog on August 18, 2020

The PGA Tour’s Northern Trust is upon us, and apart from being another weekend of great golf in which you can wager, it’s the start of the FedEx Cup playoffs. There are 125 golfers this weekend.

The top 70 will advance to the BMW Championship in Chicago next week. Then, it will be the top 30 at the TOUR Championship the following week in Atlanta.

Justin Thomas is the current FedEx Cup points leader, and a win in Atlanta would make him just the third golfer to win the Cup more than once.

Northern Trust Odds

Before we get to Chicago and then Atlanta, the Tour is at TPC Boston for The Northern Trust – which began as the Westchester Classic in 1967.

The top of the favorites board looks like this:

  • Bryson Dechambeau (+1200)
  • Justin Thomas (+1200)
  • Rory McIlroy (+1400)
  • Jon Rahm (+1600)
  • Dustin Johnson (+1800)
  • Xander Schauffele (+2000)
  • Collin Morikawa (+2200)
  • Jason Day (+2500)
  • Brooks Koepka (+3000)
  • Patrick Cantlay (+3000)
  • Patrick Reed (+3000)
  • Webb Simpson (+3000)

Patrick Reed at +3000 is an interesting play here. He won this tournament in 2019 and just finished up the Wyndham with a 64 on Sunday.

This is a different course than last year, so the defending champion tag has a little cachet. But he’s a hot golfer paying a big number, and that’s worth your attention.

The last time we saw Collin Morikawa, he was winning the PGA Championship. He’s too good and too hot to be the seventh most likely golfer to win the Northern Trust. His +2200 feels like much better value than the +1200 on Bryson Dechambeau.

northern trust

Not listed among the favorites, but someone that needs consideration, is Tyrell Hatton at +5500. Because he was stuck in England for a bit, he’s only played in four tournaments since the season restarted. But two of those four starts ended in top five finishes.

Shock the World Part II

If you were one of the lucky few who put money down on Jim Herman to win the Wyndham Championship at +75000, congratulations. The price of success is that Herman is down to a +25000 play at the Northern Trust.

It’s hard to recommend him as a play. He has missed 11 cuts this season. But if you’re going to roll the dice on a true longshot, the guy who just Sunday had golf fans asking, “Who is Jim Herman?” is as good a risk as any.

But seriously. Don’t. He’s not going to win again. Probably.

PGA Wyndham Championship Betting Preview

by WagerHome Blog on August 11, 2020

The dust has settled on the first major of the year, the PGA Championship, and the impressive victory by Collin Morikawa. Fun fact about the 23-year-old Morikawa: Since he turned pro 14 months ago, Morikawa has won $6,898,977 in on-course winnings. That buys a lot of golf balls.

Morikawa takes the week off as the PGA Tour shits coasts for the 2020 Wyndham Championship at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, NC. But even without the latest star of the PGA on location, this is still an excellent field with four of the top 10 players in the FedEx Cup standings in attendance.

Wyndham Odds

These are the opening odds to Win, finish Top 5, and finish Top 10.

To Win

  • Webb Simpson +1100
  • Brooks Koepka +1200
  • Paul Casey +1600
  • Patrick Reed +1600
  • Tommy Fleetwood +2000
  • Justin Rose +2200
  • Harris English +2800
  • Billy Horschel +3500
  • Jordan Spieth +3500

Webb Simpson tops the favorites board for several good reasons. His first-ever Tour victory came on this course in 2011. In each of the last three years at this event, he’s finished no worse than tied for third.

He’s from North Carolina, played college golf at Wake Forest, and has a daughter named Wyndham. How could he not be the favorite?

Other favorites to either win or finish in the Top 5 are Brooks Koepka (of course), Patrick Reed (a winner here in 2013), and Paul Casey (who just came up short at the PGA over the weekend).

Other Golfers to Watch

The favorites are at the top of the odds board for a reason, but there are some more valuable plays worth keeping an eye on.

Si Woo Kim is on the board at +4200 to win. It was just four years ago that he cruised to a five-shot victory at this event, his first-ever Tour win. He’s a Top 10 play at +500.

Brendon Todd has two wins this season, three straight top-25 finishes, and twice in his last five starts went into Sunday with the lead. If he can put together a good final round, that +750 Top 5 finish looks like a solid play.

Last year’s winner here is J.T. Poston, who memorably won without making a single bogey. He’s had a pair of top-10 finishes since the Tour restart and is posting a Top 10 betting number of +750. You want to get crazy and go for the repeat? That pays a cool +7000.
