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 ...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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... 

Following a thrilling weekend south of the border, Mexico Open champ Tony Finau along with several others makes the trip to North Carolina for the Wells Fargo Championship. The event returns to a familiar setting with Quail Hollow Golf Club back in the rotation after surrendering last year’s host chores to prep for the Presidents Cup. Max Homa posted his second WFC title ... 

After a year away the Wells Fargo Championship returns to a familiar venue for the 2023 edition with Max Homa looking to become the first ever repeat titlist while going for his third win in the last four playings. The tournament switched courses last year with long-time host Quail Hollow Golf Club getting prepped for the Presidents Cup. Homa won for the second time besting a trio of golfers by two swings at TPC Potomac for his sixth career PGA Tour title. Rory McIlroy tees it up for the first time since missing the cut at the Masters topping the board as the betting favorite. McIlroy has had plenty of success at Quail Hollow over the years winning the event in 2021. The tournament always attracts a strong field and with designated status this year a number of the game’s best are in attendance.

Starting for the first time since his triumph at the Masters earlier this month, world No. 1 Jon Rahm is a huge favorite to repeat at the Mexico Open at Vidanta. The field has thinned out from previous tournaments with Tony Finau and Wyndham Clark the next favorites on the outright betting board. That doesn’t mean the rest of the full field doesn’t have a chance, but the way Rahm is playing it could be a foregone conclusion. His win in Mexico last year started a run of five titles in his last 20 PGA Tour starts. While this is only the second PGA sanctioned tournament, the event has been played since the 1940’s as the country’s national open with Vidanta Vallarta hosting for the first time in 2022. Rahm finished one swing better than a trio of players at 17-under and is a massive favorite to repeat in a matchup between the two favorites. Visit BookMaker.eu for an updated list of matchup betting odds when you’re ready to place a wager. ... 

A four-time winner on Tour already this season, including his green jacket victory at Augusta earlier this month, Jon Rahm returns as the prohibitive favorite to successfully defend his title at the Mexico Open at Vidanta. Played in some form as the country’s national championship since 1944, last year’s edition was the first sanctioned by the PGA Tour with a full allotment of FedExCup points and a nice paycheck to the winner. Runner-up to Rahm last year, Tony Finau faces the same fate as the second favorite. Wyndham Clark is the only other player with shorter than 20/1 odds. A full field of over 130 golfers will descend on the Greg Norman-designed Vidanta Vallarta, which is scheduled to host for the next two years. Visit BookMaker.eu for a complete updated list of betting odds when you’re ready to place a wager. ... 

For one week out of the PGA Tour season players will deviate from the normal individual stroke play events and 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 for themselves all season golfers have to abruptly shift gears 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 outside of New Orleans. T... 

Following the first major of the season is a tough act, but the RBC Heritage has done a nice job over the years and is back at it with a stronger field than we’ve seen in the past with an upgrade to a designated event. With its new status on the PGA Tour, Masters champ Jon Rahm will make the short trip to Hilton Head and Scottie Scheffler will peg it up for the first time at... 

In an attempt to entice some of 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 designated events. As a result the field also got a boost with Masters champion Jon Rahm, PLAYERS titlist Scottie Scheffler and defending champ Jordan Spieth among the group making the shor...
