European Tour Golf Betting Odds: With the Olympics in the rearview mirror and the Ryder Cup on the horizon, the best golfers in the world will head to the Omega European Masters on Thursday, September 1 through the final round on Sunday, September 4. This European PGA Tour stop takes the players to the Crans-sur-Sierre, one of the best golf courses in Switzerland.
The Crans-sur-Sierre is a par 70 course, and it doesn't play particularly long. As a result, scores are generally pretty low here. In fact, the first time a golfer shot a 60 on the European PGA Tour came right here in 1971 when Baldovino Dassu pulled off the phenomenal round. Each of the last seven winners of the Omega European Masters ended up shooting at least 16-under par, and for the most part, there have been several golfers fire at least a -15 268.
Danny Willett is the defending champion of the Omega European Masters. He beat out fellow Brit, Matthew Fitzpatrick in last year's event by a single stroke, the third year in a row this tournament was decided by either one shot or a playoff.
Repeat winners are hard to find in the Omega European Masters. No one has won this event back-to-back since Seve Ballesteros did so in 1977 and 1978. Ballesteros is one of just four men to win this event more than twice, as he added a third Omega European Masters title to his mantle in 1989. The other three-time winners of this event were playing back in early to mid-1900s.
Danish player, Thomas Bjorn won the Omega European Masters in 2013 to follow his win in 2011. However, Bjorn is a rare breed here in Switzerland. His victory in 2013 is the only time a past champion won this event since Eduardo Romero did so in 2000. Ironically, the man he beat out that day was Bjorn.

How to bet on Omega European Masters
The odds of a golfer to win the Omega European Masters will generally look something like:
- Tiger Woods + 150
- Phil Mickelson + 250
- Steve Stricker + 300
- Jeff Overton + 700
- Ernie Els + 700
- Field + 600
These betting odds will be lower when betting on a golfer to finish in the top three, as the sportsbook must pay off three different winning bets.
A player would have to bet $10 to win $150 that Tiger Woods will win the Omega European Masters, while the bettor wagering on Jeff Overton stands to win $70 on their $10 wager.
Another commonly placed bet in European Golf golf is head-to-head finish between two players. With this bet, a player doesn't really care what place the golfer finishes in, as long as the golfer wagered on finishes higher than the other golfer.
A head-to-head betting line for the Omega European Masters will look something like:
- Tiger Woods - 190 Steve Stricker + 150
In this bet, players wagering on Woods to finish higher than Stricker will be asked to risk $19 to win $10, while bettors believing that Stricker will finish higher than Woods will bet $10 to win $15.
Those familiar with sports betting will have no trouble making the transition to European Golf golf wagering, while those new to the world of sports betting should be able to pick up the concepts of European golf betting without to much trouble.
