The Genesis Scottish Open got another boost with the alliance between the PGA Tour and DP World Tour. Already a prestigious Rolex Series event the tournament is the first to be co-sanctioned by the two supreme golf circuits thus attracting a stronger field than we’ve ever seen. Played on the links-style Renaissance Club in North Berwick, it also serves as a warm up for ... 

There are a few changes this year in regards to the Barbasol Championship, though it’s still an alternate field event. It was played alongside The Open Championship since debuting in 2015. Now it’s the week prior with the winner, if he’s not already qualified, earning the final spot in the field to compete at St. Andrews. And this year’s edition will be played at the sam... 

The Genesis Scottish Open has been played on the DP World Tour since the early 1970s. Back then and until recently the circuit was referred to as the European Tour. However, this week’s playing will be the first as a co-sanctioned event along with the PGA Tour helping attract some of the biggest names in the sport as preparation for the season’s final major. The 156-pla... 

Just a few weeks before the fourth and final major of the year 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. The field was thinned out even more with the withdrawal this week of betting favorite Daniel Berger. At No. 25 in the O... 

As far as attracting big name players the John Deere Classic is in a difficult spot. Played before The Open in the past, a move back on the calendar should have opened it up. But with a lot of players making the short trip from Boston to Cromwell to play in last week’s Travelers, this week is one of rest ahead of a trip to Scotland. So, once again the field is thinned out... 

Turns out we don’t have to travel too far for this week’s Travelers Championship with a strong field of players assembled just a few days after the season’s third major. One player not making the short trip is U.S. Open winner Matt Fitzpatrick, though two of the top-5 at the Country Club are in attendance. Scottie Scheffler has been so good it almost feels like he... 

Just a few days after a thrilling conclusion at the third major of the season, a strong field is ready to peg it up this week at the Travelers Championship. The top of the odds board has a definite major championship feel to it with two of the top-5 finishers at the U.S. Open listed as the betting favorites on the opening line. Rory McIlroy, who was T5 last week and on a run of strong form, emerged at the top of the list with last week’s co-runner-up Scottie Scheffler close behind. Justin Thomas and Patrick Cantlay round out the top four favorites with all having odds of 12/1 or shorter. In all six of the world’s top-10 are scheduled to tee it up at TPC River Highlands, including defending champ Harris English, who won in an epic eight-hole playoff.

Sportsbooks go all out when golf’s major championships are on the schedule. That means this week’s U.S. Open will have plenty of wagering opportunities when the field pegs it up at historic Country Club of Brookline. With an expanded menu of prop bets, avid and novice golf fans have something to keep their interest over four days. Unfortunately there is no Tiger Woods in... 

Golf’s elite gather at historic Brookline Country Club just outside Boston this week for the 122nd U.S. Open. The hope is that the tournament can deflect what’s going on in the game with the Saudi-backed LIV Golf Series creating a heated debate among players. Though players who competed in the LIV were banned by the PGA Tour, those who qualified are allowed to play by a ... 

With other events dominating the world of golf let’s not forget we have one of the biggest tournaments of the year taking place this week. The PGA Tour and those players banned for participating in the LIV Golf Series who are eligible will assemble at the historic Country Club of Brookline for the 122nd U.S. Open. Fresh off his win in the RBC Canadian Open, Rory McIlroy ... 

After a two-year absence the RBC Canadian Open makes its long awaited return to the PGA Tour schedule. The last stop ahead of the season’s third major features a strong field headlined by the longest defending champion. Rory McIlroy won this event when it was last held in 2019, though that came at a different venue. This time the full-field of 156 golfers will navigate St. George’s Golf and Country Club, considered one of the finest in Canada. The venue last hosted in 2010 and was scheduled for the 2020 and 2021 editions, however COVID wrecked those plans. There is a strong contingent of Canadian players led by Corey Conners, who is ranked the highest in the FedExCup standings among the 21 players looking to get a win on home soil for the first time since 1954. Four-time winner this season Scottie Scheffler has emerged as the outright betting favorite and is featured in several matchups. Check out a complete list of matchup odds at BookMaker.eu when you’re ready to make a wager. ... 

Welcome back, ehh. For the first time in three years the PGA Tour will tee it up north of the border at this week’s RBC Canadian Open. The global pandemic wreaked havoc on the sports world but no event was impacted more than this tournament, twice cancelled due to the virus. Headlined by defending champ and betting favorite Rory McIlroy, the field will navigate one of the f... 

A strong field is assembled at the house that Jack built for this week’s Memorial Tournament. A PGA Tour stop 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. Rahm was on his way to a repeat last year with a six-shot lead after 54 holes but ... 

With no Scottie Scheffler in the lineup Jon Rahm has moved to the top of the odds board for this week’s Memorial Tournament. And if fate has anything to do with it Rahm is owed one after last year’s edition. Rahm had a six-shot lead after 54 holes but had to withdraw following a positive COVID test. Thrust to the top of the leaderboard to start the final round, Patrick ... 

The celebrity golf series known as ‘The Match’ has been hugely popular with fans and bettors since the first edition was played in 2018 featuring PGA Tour royalty Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods. The next three installments pitted two-man teams squaring off and once again that’s the case, only there are no professional golfers involved this time. Instead we have a battle of National Football League excellence with first ballot Hall of Famers Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers taking on young guns Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes in a 12-hole made for TV event on Wednesday, June 1. If experience means anything the duo of Brady and Rodgers certainly has the advantage on the football field and on the golf course. They have each competed in The Match previously and are the betting favorites. Meanwhile Allen and Mahomes, who staged an epic battle in last season’s NFL playoffs, will be making their debuts in The Match series. The teams will play at the Wynn Golf Club in Las Vegas at 6:30 p.m. ET with television coverage provided by TNT. ... 

The Charles Schwab Challenge will always be a special event on the PGA Tour. It was the first tournament played after the Tour shut down for a period of time due to COVID and despite following the second major of the season it always draws a strong field. This year is no different with a number of highly-ranked golfers set to tee it up at Colonial Country Club... 

It will be hard to outdo the excitement of last week’s PGA Championship when Justin Thomas rallied for a playoff victory over Will Zalatoris. The two are included in the field for this week’s Charles Schwab Challenge as the PGA Tour concludes its run through the Lone Star state. Five of the world’s top-10 players are scheduled to peg it up at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth with No. 1 Scottie Scheffler topping the PGA odds board. Despite missing the cut last week for the first time since October, Scheffler opened with shorter odds than both Thomas and Zalatoris with fan favorite Jordan Spieth also near the top of the odds list. Jason Kokrak looks to defend the title he won by two shots last year sending Spieth to his third career runner-up finish in this event. Head over to BookMaker.eu for a complete list of betting odds when you’re ready to place a wager. ... 

For golf bettors major championships are the equivalent of the Super Bowl with a prop bet menu full of wagers. 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. 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. And we shouldn’t expect low scores on a course that’s ... 

The major championships bring out the best players in the world and numerous betting options. There’s no shortage of either for this week’s PGA Championship. A full-field of over 150 golfers will assemble at Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa, Okla. with Scottie Scheffler and Jon Rahm neck and neck for the top spot on the PGA betting board. However, with the biggest names in the... 

Major week is upon us with the PGA Tour headed to Tulsa, Oklahoma and Southern Hills Country Club for the 104th edition of the PGA Championship. Though we have a stacked field with the world’s best players assembled, the big news is who won’t be attending. Defending champ Phil Mickelson is not included in the field. To make up for Lefty’s absence we are expected to have a Tiger Wo... 

With the second major of the year a week out we’ll see plenty of big names on the PGA Tour pegging it up this week at the AT&T Byron Nelson to get their final prep work in. And why not, TPC Craig Ranch was a haven for low scores in its Tour debut last season with champ K.H. Lee carding a record 25-under. The cut line last year was 6-under wit... 

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 strong field ready to navigate TPC Craig Ranch. Following a two-week break Scottie Scheffler looks to continue his scorching run and is positioned as the betting favorite and the only player w... 

For just the second time in its existence the Wells Fargo Championship will be played on a different course. The full-field of players assembles this week at TPC Potomac at Avenel Farm as the tournament takes a one year break from Quail Hollow, which is prepping for the Presidents Cup in a few months. Rory McIlroy has enjoyed plenty of success at this tournament returning... 

It’s a familiar tournament at an unfamiliar location this week with the Wells Fargo Championship being contested at TPC Potomac at Avenal Farm. Host of the event all but once since it joined the rotation in 2003, Quail Hollow Golf Club is being prepped for the Presidents Cup later in the year forcing the PGA to move closer to Washington D.C. It’s not a completely new course, though, since TPC Potomac last hosted an event in 2018 with Francesco Molinari topping the Quicken Loans National field. Molinari is well down the PGA odds board with the entire field behind betting favorite, defending champ and three-time winner Rory McIlroy. There’s never been a successful title defense at the WFC, but McIlroy is coming off a final-round record-tying 64 at the Masters and he’s finished among the top-10 in eight of his 10 WFC starts. Be sure to visit BookMaker.eu for an updated list of betting odds when you’re ready to place a wager. ... 

An official event on the PGA Tour for the first time, the Mexico Open at Vidanta has actually been around since the 1940’s playing as the country’s national open. There are several big-name players among the full-field ready to peg it up at Vidanta Vallarta, which is set to host this tournament for the next three years. The biggest name of the group is also the highest ranked player and the...
