A strong field heads to the Lone Star state this week for the Houston Open, the PGA Tour’s penultimate event of 2021.Brooks Koepka is one of 14 major champions set to peg it up at Memorial Park, a course he had a hand in reshaping a few years ago. Maybe that can help Koepkaturn things around. He’s positioned further down the odds board after missing the cut last week. Sam Burns opened as the betting favorite with the odds suggesting a wide open field. Carlos Ortiz was in contention last week in Mexico and heads to Houston looking to defend the title he won by two shots last year over Dustin Johnson and Hideki Matsuyama.

The 15th edition of this event brings a catchy new name thanks to a new title sponsor. But what might be the best field in the history of the World Wide Technology Championship at Mayakoba will navigate the same course it has from the beginning. With only three tournaments remaining until the PGA Tour breaks for the Holidays, we see several big names teeing it up hoping to score valuable FedExCup points. Former world No. 1s Justin Thomas and Brooks Koepka are headed to Mexico looking to dethrone defending champ Viktor Hovland. JT opened as the betting favorite with Hovland and Abraham Ancer close behind. The tournament made history when it debuted in 2007 becoming the first to be played outside the U.S. or Canada, and it’s grown in status and prestige over the years.

Even a week in Bermuda is a hard sell to some of the PGA Tour’s bigger names. The third edition of the Butterfield Bermuda Championship will have a full field minus a large contingent 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 Brian Gay broke a winless ... 

The PGA Tour returns to Southampton this week for the third edition of the Butterfield Bermuda Championship. A bump up in status means a full allotment of FedExCup points, however that wasn’t enough to attract the bigger names on Tour with most of them opting to take the week off.

Travel restrictions were relaxed enough to allow the PGA Tour to return to Japan for the third playing of the ZOZO Championship, taking place this week at Accordia Golf Narashino Country Club. COVID forced the tournament to relocate to Southern California last year with Patrick Cantlay toppling the field. With the previous two winners not in action we are guaranteed a new champion an... 

Vowing a return to Asia following the rescheduling of last year’s tournament, the PGA Tour is back in Japan for the ZOZO Championship. Due to COVID concerns the event was moved to Southern California last year with Patrick Cantlay emerging as the winner. Cantlay isn’t in the field this week and neither is 2019 champ Tiger Woods, so we will have a third different titlist in the tournament’s brief history. Collin Morikawa and Xander Schauffele opened as co-betting favorites with Japan’s own Hideki Matsuyama slotted third on the odds board. With the tournament co-sanctioned by the Japan Golf Tour Organization there will be as many as 13 members of the JGTO pegging it up at Accordia Golf Narashino Country Club. And similar to last week a limited field will play a no-cut event. Be sure to visit BookMaker.eu for a complete list of betting odds when you’re ready to place a wager. ...
