With the second major of the PGA Tour season taking place this week golf bettors can sharpen their skills with a healthy menu of propositional bets on the board for the 106th edition of the PGA Championship. This year’s tournament will have over 150 of the best golfers in the world competing for the coveted Wannamaker Trophy and there is no shortage of betting opportunities. With the best players in the world pegging it up at Valhalla Golf Club, picking an outright winner is challenging. Scottie Scheffler is the favorite in the outright market, but you can expect everyone to be at the top of their game. Since golf’s major championships are like the Super Bowl when it comes to wagering, novice bettors can have skin in the game with a prop bet. Tiger Woods is back in action with an entire list of prop bets dedicated just to him. Woods made the cut at the Masters last month only to fade in the later rounds finishing last among players that reached the weekend. The Big Cat is listed at +170 to make the cut this week in a deeper field than at Augusta. Rarely in a major does a player lead wire-to-wire so investing in the first-round leader will be different from the outright. There are, of course, the standard pick the winner and tournament and round matchup bets with sportsbooks going all out to produce an abundance of props. So if you’re looking for some side action to spice up your tournament experience head over to BookMaker.eu to check out the expanded prop menu for the 2024 PGA Championship. ... 

Over 150 of the world’s best golfers are set to peg it up starting Thursday at the the PGA Championship, the second major of the season. For the first time in a decade Valhalla Golf Club will host with the 2014 winner among the favorites. Rory McIlroy emerged by a single shot over Phil Mickelson the last time at Valhalla and more than 30 players who competed are lined up to try ag... 

The second major of the season has the PGA Tour’s best ready to navigate Valhalla Golf Club in the 106th edition of the PGA Championship. All signs point to Rory McIlroy having a big week after winning his last two starts and claiming the title the last time Valhalla hosted in 2014. The recent run of success shortened McIlroy’s odds but he’s still second in line to Scottie Scheffl... 

Signature Events are designed to attract the game’s top players, and the PGA Tour has been successful in doing that since the implementation. However, you can’t account for babies and injuries thus two of the sport’s biggest names will not be competing in this week’s Wells Fargo Championship. Scottie Scheffler will let someone else win a tournament since he’s off with... 

To give players who didn’t qualify for the Wells Fargo Championship something to do this week the PGA Tour is holding the third of five additional events with the Myrtle Beach Classic making its debut. Most of the sport’s bigger names are absent but the full-field is comprised of numerous Tour winners, PGA veterans and Korn Ferry Tour graduates all looking for a title ... 

Upgraded to Signature Event status ahead of last year’s edition, the Wells Fargo Championship has attracted the game’s best players. However, the 2024 edition will be without two of the PGA Tour’s top stars with Scottie Scheffler and Ludvig Aberg out. That leaves a clear path for betting favorite Rory McIlroy to capture a fourth tournament title. McIlroy snapped out o... 

We see PGA Tour events rebrand due to sponsorship obligations and location changes or disappear from the schedule altogether. Not often do we see new tournaments added to the rotation. That is the case this week, though, with the alternate field Myrtle Beach Classic making its debut at The Dunes Golf and Beach Club in South Carolina. This represents the third of five ‘... 

The PGA Tour is headed back to the Lone Star state with several natives aiming to become the first Texan since 2007 to win THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson. Most notable on the list is Jordan Spieth, who hit the board as the betting favorite in the outright market. It’s been a struggle for Spieth recently with three MCs in his last five starts, but he’s had succ... 

A non-signature event on the PGA Tour tends to lessen the quality of the field, which is the case this week for THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson. At No. 20, Jordan Spieth is the highest ranked player in the field and the betting favorite in the outright market. Defending champion Jason Day is close behind ranked No. 22. Spieth missed the tournament last year but... 

For one week out of the PGA Tour season players switch gears from the standard individual stroke play events to team with a partner in the unique format used at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans. The only full-field team event has 80 two-player teams alternating between best ball and alternate shot formats at TPC Louisiana. With less than half the field advanci... 

After playing as individuals all season the field has to abruptly change course, no pun intended, this week for the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, the only full-field team event on the PGA Tour. The field of 80 two-man teams will play a best ball format in rounds one and three and alternate shot format in rounds two and four at TPC Louisiana, located just outsi... 

Elevated to Signature Event status by the PGA Tour ahead of last year’s playing, the RBC Heritage has been able to attract a strong field the week after the first major of the season. With a majority of players making the short trip to Hilton Head, outright betting favorite Scottie Scheffler won’t even have time to take off the green jacket he just won for the second time in ... 

In an effort to attract the game’s bigger names to compete less than a week after the conclusion of the season’s first major, the RBC Heritage got a boost as one of the PGA Tour’s Signature Events last year. The plan worked to perfection 12 months ago and once again the field is loaded with talent making the short trip from Augusta to Hilton Head, SC. The feature player is Sc... 

With the limited-field RBC Heritage the main event on the PGA Tour this week, there is still golf to be played for other pros at the alternate field Corales Puntacana Championship, the only Tour event held in the Dominican Republic. Opening odds suggest a struggle at the top of the leaderboard with eight players boasting odds of 30/1 or shorter. Ale...

You don’t often see upwards of 90 men play a competitive game where one of the rewards is a green jacket. There are numerous other perks of course but that distinctive piece of clothing is symbolic. The best golfers in the world assemble this week at iconic Augusta National Golf Club for the 88th edition of the Masters getting major season underway. Scottie Scheffler won two year... 

There are a number of storylines as the PGA Tour heads to Augusta National this week for the first major of the season. Though barred from regular Tour events, LIV golfers are eligible with 13 set to peg it up at the 88th Masters, including defending champion Jon Rahm. However, Scottie Scheffler is the best player in the world right now and opened as a prohibitive favorite over Rory McIlroy and the rest of the field. Once again McIlroy goes for the career grand Slam in what is now his 10th attempt. He’s finished among the top 10 seven times in the previous nine tournaments, though he missed the cut last year. With the greatest players in the world assembled a lot of attention is directed at Tiger Woods, the best ever. Woods withdrew from last year’s event and has just one start since, a second-round WD at The Genesis. Still, Woods attracts a massive following whenever he plays.

There is one final PGA Tour stop before the first major of the season and that takes place this week in San Antonio at the Valero Texas Open. Rory McIlroy pegs it up for just third time at TPC San Antonio and does so as the betting favorite in the outright market and the only player with shorter than 10/1 odds on the opener. The top of the odds board is stacked with big... 

The PGA Tour stays in Texas for the final tune up before The Masters with the field gathering in San Antonio for the Valero Texas Open.

After missing a spot in last season’s schedule the PGA Tour returns to Memorial Park Golf Course for the Texas Children’s Houston Open. Much has changed since the last time the field gathered for this event in November 2022, notably the ascension of Scottie Scheffler as the game’s best player. Coming off wins in his last two starts and ranked No. 1 in the world,... 

If this week’s stop on the PGA Tour doesn’t ring a bell there’s a reason. The Texas Children’s Houston Open skipped the rotation last season and is back for the first time since November 2022 with Tony Finau the defending champion. Since the last edition, however, Scottie Scheffler has become all the rage and the world’s top ranked player opened with the shortes... 

The PGA Tour’s stay in Florida comes to an end with this week’s playing of the Valspar Championship. Situated after a high-profile event the field has diminished a bit, but there remain several big names looking to take home the hardware. Following his runner-up showing at TPC Sawgrass, Xander Schauffele opened as the betting favorite in the outright market wi... 

The PGA Tour brings the Florida Swing to a close this week with the field making the short trip to just outside Tampa for the Valspar Championship.

Coming off his runner-up at THE PLAYERS,... 

Considered by many as the PGA Tour’s fifth major, THE PLAYERS Championship is one of the biggest events on the schedule.

Fresh off his first win of the season and the defend... 

Often referred to as the fifth major, THE PLAYERS Championship always attracts a strong field with this year’s group headlined by world No. 1 and betting favorite Scottie Scheffler. A dominant five-shot win at Bay Hill last week and a winner by five swings in this event last year, Scheffler is up to his old tricks and is a prohibitive favorite to become th...
