To avoid any conflict with the NFL playoffs, this week’s Farmers Insurance Open is moved up a day with final round action taking place Saturday. I guess golf’s best like that idea with a stellar field attacking iconic Torrey Pines. A past winner here and victorious in three straight starts, the last two on the PGA Tour, Jon Rahm is the favorite in the outright market a... 

The PGA Tour is one of the more popular sports but it still can’t compete with the NFL, or it doesn’t want to. To avoid a final round conflict with the conference championship games on Sunday, this week’s Farmers Insurance Open gets started a day earlier with the final 18 holes played on Saturday. Maybe Jon Rahm should let other golfers have a chance. A winner in three...

The 2023 opening swing through the Aloha State continues this week when the PGA Tour makes the short jaunt to Oahu for the Sony Open in Hawaii, contested at the Waialae Country Club. This also marks the first full-field event of the year with over 140 golfers taking part, including defending champ Hideki Matsuyama, and the cut rule back in place. Matsuyama closed with a pair of 63s besting Russell Henley in a playoff. If the opening tournament of the New Year is any indication, 2023 is going to be a glorious time. Jon Rahm overcame a 7-swing deficit to edge Collin Morikawa on Maui, but the pair will sit this one out. However, 19 golfers make the short trip from Maui closing out the Hawai’i stay.

The PGA Tour may be on break for the Holiday season, but that doesn’t mean the world of professional golf is taking time off. A select group of the best players in the world gathers this week in the Bahamas for the Tiger Woods-hosted Hero World Challenge.

Valuable FedExCup points are up for grabs before most players hibernate over the Holiday break, though a few unofficial events are on the docket. Those familiar with the tournament will again see the unique two-course format, which has been around since 2015 with the field of up to 156 golfers playing the first two rounds on the Seaside and Plantation courses at Sea Island Resort.

Even a week in Bermuda is a hard sell to some of the PGA Tour’s bigger names. The fourth edition of the Butterfield Bermuda Championship will have a full field minus a large number of the sports best as they take time to relax and recuperate. That leaves the door wide open for an unsuspecting winner, much like we had last year when DP World Tour standout Lucas Herbert won his first PGA Tour title in just his third start as a member. Herbert is not in the field, but 2020 champ Brian Gay is, though he’s positioned well down the odds board. A tightly compacted field on the betting board brings about some intriguing matchups Be sure to visit BookMaker.eu for a complete list of matchup odds when you’re ready to place a wager. ...
