The Genesis Scottish Open got a major boost a few years ago 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. Played on the links-style Renaissance Club in North Berwick, it also serves as a warm up for T... 

The Genesis Scottish Open has been played on the DP World Tour since the early 1970s. Back then and until recently the circuit was known as the European Tour. For the third straight year the tournament will be co-sanctioned by the PGA Tour with the field roughly split in half between membership from each body only strengthening the field and making the event more popular. Betting favorite Rory McIlroy looks to become the first repeat winner in this event after his one-shot win last year when he birdied the final two holes. It’s McIlroy’s first start since his runner-up at the U.S. Open last month. Right there with McIlroy on the odds board is 2022 champ Xander Schauffele, who also triumphed by a single shot.

With a busy climax to the season that includes the fourth major set to take place in a few weeks, many big names on the PGA Tour are using the time to rest. As a result we have a slimmed down field assembling in the Quad Cities area for the John Deere Classic. Two notable players resurfacing in this event for the first time in several years are two-time winner Jordan ... 

With a lot of big names 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 no more Signature Events on the schedule and players preparing for a trip overseas for the following two tournaments that include the season’s final major, most big names are absent. This event sits in... 

A relatively new tournament on the PGA Tour sends the field to Detroit for the sixth playing of the Rocket Mortgage Classic. Coming one week after the season’s final Signature Event and a few weeks ahead of the final major, the event lands in a precarious spot on the schedule with several of the game’s biggest stars taking the week off. A tough-luck playoff loser at th... 

He has only one PGA Tour victory since 2019, but that title came in this event last year in a playoff and now Rickie Fowler will go for a second when the field heads to Detroit for the Rocket Mortgage Classic.

A Signature Event following the season’s third major keeps the PGA Tour’s best players on the course as they head to Connecticut for the Travelers Championship.

Going from coast to coast the past several years puts the 124th edition of the U.S. Open at Pinehurst Resort in North Carolina one year after Wyndham Clark toppled the field for his first major championship at Los Angeles Country Club. Two years prior Matthew Fitzpatrick won his first major in Brookline, Mass. and at Torrey Pines in 2021 Jon Rahm won his first major. In fact, the... 

The best golfers in the word assemble this week in North Carolina for the 124th edition of the U.S. Open, the season’s third major championship. But all eyes will be on Scottie Scheffler, who enters with an astounding five PGA Tour victories this season, the most entering this tournament since 1980. Scheffler is so far ahead of everyone else that his opening odds are the lowest I... 

The seventh Signature Event of the PGA Tour season takes place at the house that Jack built with the invited field assembling in Ohio for the Memorial Tournament. A stop on the PGA Tour since 1976, Jack Nicklaus was the inspiration behind the design of Muirfield Village Golf Club, which has hosted every event. Viktor Hovland is back to defend the title he won in...

The PGA Tour heads north of the border this week for the RBC Canadian Open. Nick Taylor ended a lengthy drought by native Canucks winning last year’s tournament in dramatic fashion. On the fourth playoff hole Taylor drained a 72-foot eagle putt to edge Tommy Fleetwood sending the entire country into a frenzy. It was the first time a Canadian won his national open since ... 

With Scottie Scheffler taking the week off we have a different favorite to win the RBC Canadian Open. However, considering his recent success in this tournament there’s a good chance Rory McIlroy would have topped the odds board anyway. McIlroy won consecutive titles beating the field by seven swings in 2019, the last time Hamilton Golf and Country Club hosted. He also ... 

Following one of the PGA Tour’s marquee events is a tough act, but the Charles Schwab Challenge has done a nice job over the years always attracting a strong field.

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. ...

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.

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 ‘...
