The last tournament of the regular season sends the PGA Tour to Greensboro, North Carolina, for this week’s Wyndham Championship. The top 125 players in the FedExCup standings will advance to the playoffs starting next week and several golfers on the bubble will attempt to earn the required number of points. After being listed as the betting favorite in each of the pr... 

With major season behind us and just a few tournaments remaining before the season-ending playoffs, don’t be surprised if the atmosphere is a little subdued at this week’s 3M Open. A number of players looking to improve their status or make a late run in the FedExCup standings have a shot to do that on the TPC Twin Cities layout. Tony Finau opened as the betting favorite with Hideki Matsuyama s... 

Golf’s major championships are like the Super Bowl for sports bettors. And with The Open Championship the final major of the season, this is the last chance this year to make a few bucks on a little side play. The proposition bets are plentiful for the 150th edition and BookMaker.eu has everything you need. One nugget adding to the excitement is the return of Tiger Woods. Sportsbooks... 

I guess it’s only fitting that the 150th playing of The Open Championship takes place at the Home of Golf. A full field of the best players in the world assembles this week at St. Andrews Golf Links, which is hosting for a record 30th time. One player quite familiar with the layout is Tiger Woods, who withdrew from the PGA Championship in May to recover from injuries and rest up for ... 

There’s no need to worry for those who didn’t qualify for The Open Championship. That’s because the PGA Tour is holding an alternate field tournament this week. The Barracuda Championship returns to Tahoe Mountain Club for the third straight playing with the full-field consisting of young players looking to make their mark, veterans trying to stockpile valuable FedEx Cup poin... 

For the 150th playing of The Open Championship, the oldest and most prestigious golf tournament in the world, a familiar scene awaits. Known as the Home of Golf, St. Andrews Golf Links will host for the 30th time and first since 2015 when Zack Johnson emerged victorious in a playoff. For the time being at least, the differences between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf have been put aside wi... 

With most of the golf world in Scotland for The Open Championship this week there is a need for another tournament. Voila, the Barracuda Championship fills the void as an alternate field event. For the first time members of the DP World Tour are invited to play with the expanded 156-player field assembling at Tahoe Mountain Club. This is the only PGA Tour stop featuring the M... 

Much like the tournament the alternate field Barbasol Championship is being played alongside, it’s co-sanctioned by the PGA and DP World Tours bringing some young talent from across the pond into the mix. Played at the same time as The Open since debuting in 2015, this year’s edition moves up a week with the winner, if not already qualified, earning a spot in the field a... 

The Genesis Scottish Open got another boost with the alliance between the PGA Tour and DP World Tour. Already a prestigious Rolex Series event the tournament is the first to be co-sanctioned by the two supreme golf circuits thus attracting a stronger field than we’ve ever seen. Played on the links-style Renaissance Club in North Berwick, it also serves as a warm up for ... 

There are a few changes this year in regards to the Barbasol Championship, though it’s still an alternate field event. It was played alongside The Open Championship since debuting in 2015. Now it’s the week prior with the winner, if he’s not already qualified, earning the final spot in the field to compete at St. Andrews. And this year’s edition will be played at the sam... 

The Genesis Scottish Open has been played on the DP World Tour since the early 1970s. Back then and until recently the circuit was referred to as the European Tour. However, this week’s playing will be the first as a co-sanctioned event along with the PGA Tour helping attract some of the biggest names in the sport as preparation for the season’s final major. The 156-pla... 

Just a few weeks before the fourth and final major of the year most big names on the PGA Tour are using the time to rest. Thus we have a slimmed down field gathering in the Quad Cities area for the John Deere Classic at TPC Deere Run in Silvis, Illinois. The field was thinned out even more with the withdrawal this week of betting favorite Daniel Berger. At No. 25 in the O... 

As far as attracting big name players the John Deere Classic is in a difficult spot. Played before The Open in the past, a move back on the calendar should have opened it up. But with a lot of players making the short trip from Boston to Cromwell to play in last week’s Travelers, this week is one of rest ahead of a trip to Scotland. So, once again the field is thinned out... 

Turns out we don’t have to travel too far for this week’s Travelers Championship with a strong field of players assembled just a few days after the season’s third major. One player not making the short trip is U.S. Open winner Matt Fitzpatrick, though two of the top-5 at the Country Club are in attendance. Scottie Scheffler has been so good it almost feels like he... 

Just a few days after a thrilling conclusion at the third major of the season, a strong field is ready to peg it up this week at the Travelers Championship. The top of the odds board has a definite major championship feel to it with two of the top-5 finishers at the U.S. Open listed as the betting favorites on the opening line. Rory McIlroy, who was T5 last week and on a run of strong form, emerged at the top of the list with last week’s co-runner-up Scottie Scheffler close behind. Justin Thomas and Patrick Cantlay round out the top four favorites with all having odds of 12/1 or shorter. In all six of the world’s top-10 are scheduled to tee it up at TPC River Highlands, including defending champ Harris English, who won in an epic eight-hole playoff.

Sportsbooks go all out when golf’s major championships are on the schedule. That means this week’s U.S. Open will have plenty of wagering opportunities when the field pegs it up at historic Country Club of Brookline. With an expanded menu of prop bets, avid and novice golf fans have something to keep their interest over four days. Unfortunately there is no Tiger Woods in... 

Golf’s elite gather at historic Brookline Country Club just outside Boston this week for the 122nd U.S. Open. The hope is that the tournament can deflect what’s going on in the game with the Saudi-backed LIV Golf Series creating a heated debate among players. Though players who competed in the LIV were banned by the PGA Tour, those who qualified are allowed to play by a ... 

With other events dominating the world of golf let’s not forget we have one of the biggest tournaments of the year taking place this week. The PGA Tour and those players banned for participating in the LIV Golf Series who are eligible will assemble at the historic Country Club of Brookline for the 122nd U.S. Open. Fresh off his win in the RBC Canadian Open, Rory McIlroy ... 

After a two-year absence the RBC Canadian Open makes its long awaited return to the PGA Tour schedule. The last stop ahead of the season’s third major features a strong field headlined by the longest defending champion. Rory McIlroy won this event when it was last held in 2019, though that came at a different venue. This time the full-field of 156 golfers will navigate St. George’s Golf and Country Club, considered one of the finest in Canada. The venue last hosted in 2010 and was scheduled for the 2020 and 2021 editions, however COVID wrecked those plans. There is a strong contingent of Canadian players led by Corey Conners, who is ranked the highest in the FedExCup standings among the 21 players looking to get a win on home soil for the first time since 1954. Four-time winner this season Scottie Scheffler has emerged as the outright betting favorite and is featured in several matchups. Check out a complete list of matchup odds at BookMaker.eu when you’re ready to make a wager. ... 

Welcome back, ehh. For the first time in three years the PGA Tour will tee it up north of the border at this week’s RBC Canadian Open. The global pandemic wreaked havoc on the sports world but no event was impacted more than this tournament, twice cancelled due to the virus. Headlined by defending champ and betting favorite Rory McIlroy, the field will navigate one of the f... 

A strong field is assembled at the house that Jack built for this week’s Memorial Tournament. A PGA Tour stop 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. Rahm was on his way to a repeat last year with a six-shot lead after 54 holes but ... 

With no Scottie Scheffler in the lineup Jon Rahm has moved to the top of the odds board for this week’s Memorial Tournament. And if fate has anything to do with it Rahm is owed one after last year’s edition. Rahm had a six-shot lead after 54 holes but had to withdraw following a positive COVID test. Thrust to the top of the leaderboard to start the final round, Patrick ... 

The celebrity golf series known as ‘The Match’ has been hugely popular with fans and bettors since the first edition was played in 2018 featuring PGA Tour royalty Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods. The next three installments pitted two-man teams squaring off and once again that’s the case, only there are no professional golfers involved this time. Instead we have a battle of National Football League excellence with first ballot Hall of Famers Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers taking on young guns Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes in a 12-hole made for TV event on Wednesday, June 1. If experience means anything the duo of Brady and Rodgers certainly has the advantage on the football field and on the golf course. They have each competed in The Match previously and are the betting favorites. Meanwhile Allen and Mahomes, who staged an epic battle in last season’s NFL playoffs, will be making their debuts in The Match series. The teams will play at the Wynn Golf Club in Las Vegas at 6:30 p.m. ET with television coverage provided by TNT. ... 

The Charles Schwab Challenge will always be a special event on the PGA Tour. It was the first tournament played after the Tour shut down for a period of time due to COVID and despite following the second major of the season it always draws a strong field. This year is no different with a number of highly-ranked golfers set to tee it up at Colonial Country Club... 

It will be hard to outdo the excitement of last week’s PGA Championship when Justin Thomas rallied for a playoff victory over Will Zalatoris. The two are included in the field for this week’s Charles Schwab Challenge as the PGA Tour concludes its run through the Lone Star state. Five of the world’s top-10 players are scheduled to peg it up at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth with No. 1 Scottie Scheffler topping the PGA odds board. Despite missing the cut last week for the first time since October, Scheffler opened with shorter odds than both Thomas and Zalatoris with fan favorite Jordan Spieth also near the top of the odds list. Jason Kokrak looks to defend the title he won by two shots last year sending Spieth to his third career runner-up finish in this event.
