The PGA Tour concludes its season schedule with the field headed to majestic St. Simons Island in Georgia this week for The RSM Classic. There’s plenty on the line for a number of golfers in the full-field with Tour status and Signature Event inclusion on the line. Making his first start since undergoing knee surgery a few months ago, defending champ Ludvig Aberg opened as the outright betting favorite. On his way to his first PGA win, Aberg set a Tour scoring record with a 29-under 253 while also establishing a Tour record for the lowest score over the final two rounds of a tournament by carding a pair of 61s. Those familiar with the tournament will again see the unique two-course format with the field playing the first two rounds on the Seaside and Plantation courses at Sea Island Resort. Those surviving the cut will play the weekend on the more familiar Seaside layout.

We don’t often see the PGA Tour take time off, but it did last week setting the stage for a return trip to Mexico for the 18th edition of the World Wide Technology Championship. For the second straight year the Tiger Woods-designed El Cardonal at Diamante Resort in Los Cabos will serve as host. The layout wasn’t a problem last year for Erik van Rooyen, w... 

We probably won’t see a lot of Tiger Woods in the future with injuries and age taking a toll on his playing career. But his lasting legacy on the PGA Tour will live on and even more so at the World Wide Technology Championship since the tournament is played on a Woods-designed course. For the second time the field will navigate the El Cardonal golf cours...

Some of the bigger names in the sport are dusting off the clubs ahead of the sixth edition of the ZOZO Championship.

The fourth of seven FedExCup Fall events takes the PGA Tour to Las Vegas this week for its annual stop in the Nevada desert for the Shriners Children’s Open.

Two-time defending champion Tom Kim is the betting favorite as he goes for a rare three-peat when the PGA Tour heads to the Nevada desert this week for the annual Shriners Children’s Open. There could be some rust on the sticks, though, since it’s been a few months since Kim last pegged it up at the FedEx St. Jude Championship in Augus... 

The PGA Tour returns to Utah for the first time in six decades welcoming a new tournament to the FedExCup Fall season, the Black Desert Championship. With the host course not even two years old, the field of 132 golfers will all get a first look at the Black Desert Resort layout with no one having an advantage. That’s likely why the odds in the outright market ar... 

A new tournament in the rotation sends the PGA Tour to southern Utah this week for the inaugural Black Desert Championship, hosted by the Black Desert Resort in Ivins, UT. The Tour makes it first visit to the Beehive State since 1963 with a few Utahns sprinkled in the light field of competitors. Keith Mitchell had the 54-hole lead last week at the Sanderson Farms... 

After another victory for Team USA at the Presidents Cup, the PGA Tour resumes its fall season in Jackson, Miss. with the annual Sanderson Farms Championship. No Americans and only one player who competed last week in Canada will tee it up at the Country Club of Jackson, the tournament host since 2014. Canadian Mackenzie Hughes, who won this event in 2022, starred for the International team and is listed among the outright favorites. However, topping the odds board on the early line is two-time regular season titlist Nick Dunlap, who won The American Express and Barracuda Championship. Last year Luke List survived a five-man playoff to claim his second career Tour title and he’s next in line at a chance to become the first back-to-back winner since Dwight Nevil in 1974.

Golf betting has become increasingly attractive for sportsbooks with tournaments and events taking place nearly every week. And unlike other sports there is no offseason. The PGA Tour resumed just two weeks after the season-ending TOUR Championship. The popularity of the game also has bettors flocking to the betting window with a chance to make a few bucks. When events like the Presidents Cup roll around the entire golf world is focused on a singular course with many of the best players in the world competing. With a stacked roster featuring all 12 members ranked among the OWGR top 25, the Americans are a big favorite to continue their run of dominance. Team USA has won nine straight Presidents Cup trophies and is 12-1-1 since the event was first staged in 1994. The event featuring American golfers and non-European international players heads north of the border with three native Canadians on the International Team roster. Team USA opened as a -240 favorite with the Internationals at +242. There’s always a chance the match ends in a tie with that outcome at +1405. The 2003 edition ended at 17-17. The match-play event spans four days and will be televised on Golf Channel and NBC. It starts on Sept. 26 with a format similar to what’s used in the Ryder Cup. Teams will play five ‘foursome’ matches on Day 1, five ‘fourball’ matches on Day 2 with four of each contested on Day 3. The final day of competition has 12 singles matches. And of course you can wager on the outcome of daily events and even the score. Let’s take a look at a few team and individual props to see where money can be made on the 2024 Presidents Cup. ... 

The Presidents Cup hasn’t been much of a competition over the years with Team USA winning the last nine events while going 12-1-1 since the first playing in 1994. Led by FedExCup champion and seven time PGA Tour winner Scottie Scheffler along with two-time major champion Xander Schauffele, Team USA is favored to continue its dominance. All 12 Americans are ranked among the to... 

The PGA Tour season isn’t over just yet. An extension to the regular season, the FedExCup Fall begins its seven-tournament run this week in California with the Procore Championship. It has a new name but the venue remains the same. Formerly known as the Fortinet Championship, the full field will compete on the North Course at Silverado Resort and Spa in Napa. The top 125 players in the fall standings will renew their Tour cards for the start of the calendar-year schedule in January so there is plenty at stake. Sahith Theegala used his first PGA Tour title at this event last year as a springboard to a successful regular season. He enters as the betting favorite in the outright market as the only golfer with shorter than 10/1 odds. Typical of most fall tournaments big-name players are absent with odds suggesting a wide-open field. Visit BookMaker.eu for a complete list of matchup odds when you’re ready to place a wager. ... 

It’s back to work for the PGA Tour with a full field headed to California wine country for the FedExCup Fall opening Procore Championship, contested at Silverado Resort and Spa in Napa.

The FedExCup Championship will be decided this weekend at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta when the top 30 players in the season-long standings race gather for the season ending Tour Championship. Accumulating points over the course of the year comes in handy with six-time winner Scottie Scheffler locking down the top spot for a third straight year. That gives Scheffler a head start on the field in the staggered leaderboard format and has him positioned as the betting favorite ahead of two-time major winner Xander Schauffele. Scheffler opens the tournament at 10-under with Schauffele second in the standings at 8-under. After his win two weeks ago in the FedEx St. Jude Championship, Hideki Matsuyama vaulted into the third position and starts at 7-under.
