The world’s best golfers are in the field this week, led by World No. 1 Dustin Johnson who is listed as the favorite.

  • BookMaker.eu Dustin Johnson headlines the field for the Wells Fargo Championship which begins on Thursday in North Carolina. Johnson was last seen pulling out of the Masters with a back injury, but all indications are that he is completely healed and ready to go for this event. If true, he is the clear choice to win, as he comes into this event ranked No. 1 in the world and he has won his last three tournaments. We have been doing well with the matchups, as it was 3-1 last week for us at the Zurich Classic. Let’s look at this week’s matchups, odds and picks.... 

  • BookMaker.eu World No. 1 Dustin Johnson is a solid favorite to win the Wells Fargo Championship, which begins on Thursday. Johnson has not played since winning the WGC Match Play, as he pulled out of the Masters due to injury. If Johnson is at full strength he is the clear standout in this event, as he is the only played ranked in the Top 10 in the field and only five other players ranked in the Top 20 are in this tournament. Let’s look at this event which is taking place at Eagle Point Golf Club instead of Quail Hollow Club this year.... 

  • BookMaker.eu For the first time in more than 30 years we get to enjoy team play at a PGA Tour event, as the Zurich Classic of New Orleans will feature 80 two-man teams competing in the 69th edition of the tournament. The first and third rounds will be alternate shot (foursomes), while the second and final rounds will be best ball (four-ball). Many of the world’s top players are in the field and four of them are teamed up, as No. 3 Jason Day teams with No. 9 Rickie Fowler, while No. 6 Henrik Stenson teams with No. 8 Justin Rose. Let’s look at the matchups for this exciting tournament and picks....

  • BookMaker.eu Charley Hoffman will look to defend his title at the TPC San Antonio’s AT&T Oaks Course this week. Hoffman was able to outlast Patrick Reed to win last year and Hoffman is again one of the top contenders, as he is listed as the second choice in the betting at odds of +2399. The favorite to win this week is Matt Kuchar at odds of +2060. We split our matchups last week, going 2-2 after going 2-1 the previous week. Let’s look at this week’s matchups for the Valero Texas Open.... 

  • BookMaker.eu Matt Kuchar is a lukewarm favorite to win the Valero Texas Open which begins on Thursday in San Antonio. Most of the world’s top players are taking another week off after the Masters, with only five of the top 25 in the latest world rankings in the field. Kuchar is the favorite at odds of +1650, while defending champion Charley Hoffman and Brooks Koepka are each listed at +1850. The highest ranked player in the field is Patrick Reed at No. 15, but Reed is not getting a lot of respect from the oddsmakers, as he is listed at +3000.... 

  • BookMaker.eu The RBC Heritage gets underway on Thursday, April 13 at Harbour Town with Matt Kuchar listed as the favorite. Accuracy is at a premium this week, as Harbour Town is one of the shortest courses on the tour at 7,099 yards. Kuchar is favored in his two matchups, as he is up against Brandt Snedeker and Kevin Kisner. We hit two of our three matchups at The Masters last week, so we’ll look to continue the winning trend at the RBC Heritage.... 

  • BookMaker.eu The excitement of The Masters is now in the rear view mirror, as we turn our attention to Harbour Town Golf Links in Hilton Head, South Carolina for the RBC Heritage which begins on Thursday, April 13 with Matt Kuchar the favorite. None of the world’s top 15 players are in the field, so the event is wide open with Kuchar the favorite at odds of +1350. The highest ranked player in the field is Tyrell Hatton at No. 16 and he is listed with odds of +2250.... 

  • BookMaker.eu Masters Matchups are available for golf’s first major which begins on Thursday. World No. 1 Dustin Johnson is favored in all of his matchups, as he is matched up against Jordan Spieth, Rory McIlroy, Jason Day and Hideki Matsuyama.

  • BookMaker.eu The last event before the Masters is the Shell Houston Open, which begins on Thursday at the Golf Club of Houston. Jordan Spieth is the favorite to win this event, with Jon Rahm the second choice. Many players like to use this event in preparation for the Masters, but as strange as this may sound, they are better off not winning it. Only two winners of the Shell Houston Open have finished in the Top 15 at the Masters since it became a Masters prep, as Anthony Kim finished third in 2010, while Hunter Mahan tied for 12th in 2012.... 

  • BookMaker.eu World No. 6 Jordan Spieth is favored to win the Shell Houston Open, which begins on Thursday. Spieth didn’t make it past group play last week at the WGC Match Play event but he has had a lot of success in this tournament, including a win and two second place finishes. Spieth is using this week in preparation for the Masters next week and he is not alone, as four of the world’s top 10 are in the field in Houston, but World No. 1 Dustin Johnson is not, as he decided to rest after winning the Match Play event. Spieth is the top betting choice at +600, followed by Jon Rahm at +1015, Henrik Stenson at +1250 and Rickie Fowler at +1550.... 

  • BookMaker.eu If you like to bet longshots in golf, then this is your week, as the favorite in the Puerto Rico Open is Wesley Bryan at +1639. He is the highest ranked player in the field at No. 72 in the world, but he is a lukewarm favorite at best. And he is the only player in the field listed with odds of less than +2000. The marquee name in the field is Graeme McDowell, and he is the third choice in the betting odds at +2351. Let’s preview the event, look at the latest golf odds and predictions.... 

  • BookMaker.eu Rory McIlroy is the favorite to win this week’s WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play event in Austin, Texas. Although the event is match play, it is not an elimination event until the weekend, as the 64 players compete in round-robin matches on Wednesday through Friday. The winners of the 16 groups advance to a single-elimination bracket with the round of 16 and quarterfinals played on Saturday, while the semifinals and final are played on Sunday.

  • BookMaker.eu Defending champion Jason Day +850, Japan sensation Hideki Matsuyama +1000, Rory McIlroy +750 and Rickie Fowler +1500 headline this week’s Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard. It should be quite an emotional event after the passing of Arnold Palmer earlier this year, making 2017 the first year that the “King” won’t be on hand. And I am stunned that more elite players didn’t show up to play to honor the great Arnold Palmer. Jordan Spieth, Dustin Johnson, Adam Scott, Justin Thomas, Phil Mickelson and Jon Rahm, I am talking to you, why aren’t you guys playing?...
