With most of the golf world in England for The Open Championship this week there is a need for another tournament. And the PGA Tour gives us the Barracuda Championship to fill the void as an alternate field event. With the season nearing its conclusion valuable FedExCup points are out there for bubble players to improve their standing. Like last year members of the DP World Tour are invited to play with the expanded field assembling at Tahoe Mountain Club. This is the only PGA Tour stop featuring the Modified Stableford scoring system, which credits points based on how players perform at each hole. For example, an eagle is worth five points, a birdie is worth two points and no points are awarded for par. Points are deducted for plus-strokes on a hole. Stephan Jaeger opened as the betting favorite though the odds suggest a wide-open field. Visit BookMaker.eu for a complete list of betting odds when you’re ready to place a wager. ...

Just a few weeks ahead of the season’s fourth and final major most big names on the PGA Tour are using the time to rest. Thus we have a slimmed down field gathering in the Quad Cities area for the John Deere Classic at TPC Deere Run in Silvis, Illinois. Nine of the top 50 players in the OWGR are the most this tournament has seen in over a decade yet the opening odds sugge... 

With a lot of firepower absent, opening odds suggest a wide open field when the PGA Tour assembles in the heartland of Illinois for this week’s John Deere Classic. With designated events completed and players preparing for a trip overseas for the following two weeks that include the season’s final major, most big names are absent. This tournament sits in a bad spot on the... 

One of the newer events on the PGA Tour has the field in Detroit for the fifth edition of the Rocket Mortgage Classic. The tournament was pushed back over a month last year with Tony Finau escaping with a five-swing win after posting a tournament scoring record. Back to its customary spot on the calendar, three of the previous four winners are set to be in attendance with ... 

The golf exhibition series known as ‘The Match’ has been hugely popular with fans and bettors since the first edition was played in 2018 featuring legendary Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods. Another variation has been the team format with athletes from different sports, and that’s what we have for the eighth iteration. Champions from their respective sports aim for a different title when Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce from the NFL’s Kansas City Chiefs take on Golden State Warriors’ Splash Brothe... 

Tony Finau is the betting favorite looking to defend his title at the Rocket Mortgage Classic as the PGA Tour makes its way to Detroit this week. Looking to become the first two-time winner at this young event, Finau set a tournament scoring record with his 5-shot win at the Detroit Golf Club last year that came in July when the tournament schedule was adjusted. This year ... 

Following a thrilling conclusion at the season’s third major, the PGA Tour heads across the country with many of golf’s elite making the trek to Connecticut for the Travelers Championship, the last designated event on the season schedule.

After an exhausting week at the season’s third major, the PGA Tour heads across the country with some of the game’s biggest stars in tow for the Travelers Championship. The top seven players in the OWGR are scheduled to peg it up at TPC River Highlands in Connecticut with No. 1 Scottie Scheffler leading the way on the odds board as the outright favorite. Many golfers would enjoy taking a week off following a major, but designated events have attracted strong fields and this tournament is no different. FedExCup leader Jon Rahm and defending champion Xander Schauffele are among the top five favorites while last week’s U.S. Open winner Wyndham Clark sits further down the odds board.

With an expanded menu of prop bets, avid and novice golf fans have something to keep their interest over four days. Though it’s named the U.S. Open ... 

The best the golfing world has convenes this week in southern California for the third major of the season. Rotating coasts the last several years puts the 123rd U.S. Open at the Los Angeles Country Club one year after Matt Fitzpatrick won his first major championship in Brookline, Mass. Two years prior it was Jon Rahm earning his first major title at Torrey Pines in San Diego. This will also be the first get-together of LIV Golf and the PGA Tour since a merger announcement was made over a week ago. Co-runner-up last year, world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler is the betting favorite in the outright market with the usual suspects Jon Rahm and Rory McIlroy next in line on the odds board. Major championships bring out the best players, which mean more wagering opportunities. With plenty of tournament and round matchups featuring the game’s elite, including the previous seven U.S. Open winners.

It’s back to the West Coast with a full field of players assembling this week at Los Angeles Country Club for the 123rd U.S. Open, the season’s third major.

Brooks Koepka did ... 

One final stop ahead of the season’s third major has the PGA Tour north of the border for the RBC Canadian Open, taking place for the first time at Oakdale Golf and Country Club in Toronto. A strong field is headlined by the longest defending champion. Rory McIlroy won this event when it was held in 2019 and following a two-year hiatus due to COVID he triumphed again. McIlroy is heavily favored in the outright market to become the first three-peat winner at this event, and in order to do that he’ll need to successfully navigate another course. There is a strong contingent of Canadian players led by Corey Conners, who is ranked the highest in the FedExCup standings among the 20 players looking to get a win on home soil for the first time since 1954. Conners, Adam Svensson and Mackenzie Hughes each have a win already this season. Check out a complete list of matchup odds at BookMaker.eu when you’re ready to make a wager. ... 

The only winner the RBC Canadian Open has had in the previous four years is back to tee it up as the betting favorite. That’s a little misleading since the tournament was shuttered for two years due to COVID, however it doesn’t take away from the fact that Rory McIlroy has enjoyed his stays north of the border in recent years. McIlroy opened as the prohibitive favorite seek... 

With its status upgraded to a designated event, an even stronger field will assemble at the house that Jack built for this week’s Memorial Tournament. A stop on the PGA Tour since 1976, Jack Nicklaus was the inspiration behind the design of Muirfield Village Golf Club, though the course underwent a massive remodel following Jon Rahm’s victory in 2020. World No. 1 Sc... 

The PGA Tour heads to Jack’s Place in central Ohio this week for the Memorial Tournament.

Following the second major of the season is a tough act, but the Charles Schwab Challenge has done a nice job over the years always attracting a strong field. And this year is no different with world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler headlining a group of 10 players ranked in the OWGR top 25 ready to peg it up at Colonial Country Club. Scheffler and No. 6 Viktor Hovland... 

It’s back to the LIV Golf League for Brooks Koepka after winning his third PGA Championship.

For golf bettors, major championships are the equivalent of the Super Bowl with a healthy menu of proposition bets to liven up your tournament betting experience. This year’s PGA Championship 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 golf an international sport and a huge field set to peg it up, nationality props are a big deal. As it stands right now Scottie Scheffler is the betting favorite in the outright market putting him tops among all American players. Another thing is we shouldn’t expect low scores at Oak Hill Country Club. The course hosted three previous editions yielding an average winning score of 7-under par. And that was before the property underwent a massive renovation a few years ago. Rarely in a major does a player lead wire-to-wire so investing in the first-round leader will be different from the outright winner, or at least it should be. Round leaders are another popular prop bet. 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 bet menu for the 2023 PGA Championship. ... 

The major championships bring out the best players in the world and a plethora of wagering options. And guess what? There’s no shortage of either for this week’s 105th PGA Championship. A full-field of world class players assembles at Oak Hill Country Club in Rochester, NY with Scottie Scheffler and Jon Rahm neck and neck for the top spot on the outright betting board. However, with the biggest names in the sport pegging it up it’s really anybody’s game. As of Tuesday 99 of the world’s top 100 were scheduled to tee of starting Thursday with Justin Thomas back to defend his title. The tournament returns to Oak Hill for the first time since Jason Dufner posted a 2-shot victory in 2013. A complete list of matchup odds is available at BookMaker.eu when you’re ready to place a wager. ... 

Major week is here with a collection of the finest golfers in the world headed to western New York and Oak Hill Country Club for the 105th PGA Championship. In the season’s second major it isn’t a surprise to find the two highest ranked players at the top of the odds board. The order might be off with OWGR No. 2 Scottie Scheffler hitting the board as the betting favorite. No. 1 Jo... 

We typically see some of the PGA Tour’s bigger names get some work in ahead of a major, however that’s not the case this week with a weaker than normal field pegging it up at the AT&T Byron Nelson. And unfortunately the field got a little lighter earlier in the week with Jordan Speith announcing his withdrawal due to an injury. That leaves th... 

Serving as the final tune up before the second major of the season, the PGA Tour assembles just outside Dallas for this week’s AT&T Byron Nelson with a solid field ready to navigate TPC Craig Ranch. The eyes of Texas will be upon K.H. Lee, though, as he looks to become one of just a handful of players to win the same event in three successive...
