With both the PGA and European Tours shutdown for the winter break, that doesn’t mean there is no golf to wager on. A limited betting market is available for the PNC Championship, which will take place at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Orlando, Florida. The event formerly known as the Father/Son Challenge brings together top PGA Tour and LPGA major-winning talent and a family member to compete as a team. Now that his son Charlie is old enough to compete, Tiger Woods will make his tournament debut... 

The end of year fun and frivolity takes place at the Tiburon Golf Club in Naples, Florida with 16 of the top-50 players in world gathering for the QBE Shootout.

The opening round will be a scramble, followed by alternate shot format on Satu... 

The final tournament of the calendar year takes the PGA Tour south of the border to Playa del Carmen, Mexico for the Mayakoba Golf Classic. Typically an event that doesn’t attract a strong field, things have changed this year with several big names littering the lineup. Justin Thomas headlines the field along with four-time major champion Brooks Koepka. Not surprisingly both are at the top of the odds board. 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 previous 13 editions.

Following an off week the PGA Tour is back in action south of the border in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, for the Mayakoba Golf Classic. The final event of the calendar year brings out a decent field headlined by betting favorite Justin Thomas. Not far behind on the odds board is Brooks Koepka with countryman Abraham Ancer among the top-5 favorites. Brendon Todd is back to defend his tit... 

Just to add some entertainment value to an otherwise non-descript charity golf event, outspoken former NBA player Charles Barkley will partake in the festivities leaving Tiger Woods on the sidelines. Barkley will team with five-time major champion Phil Mickelson against Payton Manning and Steph Curry in The Match III: Champions for Change. The event takes place on F... 

With the PGA Tour taking a Holiday break, the European Tour gets center stage when the field takes over magnificent Leopard Creek Country Club for this week’s Alfred Dunhill Championship, the middle stop on the three-tournament South African swing. Native golfers have been kept out of the winner’s circle the last two years. American David Lipsky ended a run of South African dominance that had been in place since 2011 with a victory in 2018. Pablo Larrazabal won the title last ye... 

After an exhilarating week at the Masters, at least for Dustin Johnson, the PGA Tour heads a few hours down the road to St. Simons Island, Georgia for The RSM Classic. While a number of high-profile players take the week off a few made the short journey making the field for this year’s edition one of the strongest. The unique two-course format has been in existence since 2015 with the ... 

With the 2020 Masters in the rear view mirror, many of the notable players on the PGA Tour are taking the week off ahead of the RSM Classic. The short trek from Augusta to St. Simons Island hasn’t deterred some, though, making the field for this year’s edition the strongest ever. There are 17 players in the field that rank among the top-50 in the OWGR. The tournament had just 11 such playe... 

It’s time for sports bettors and golf enthusiasts to make up for lost opportunities. COVID played with the PGA Tour schedule forcing the postponement of two of golf’s premier events while cancelling another. This week the Tour fights back with the 84th playing of The Masters. And in a few short months we’ll be right back at Augusta National. Six major championships included in the new Tour ... 

The elegant Augusta National Golf Club has been the host of The Masters since it was first played 84 years ago and the PGA Tour invades the southern Georgia town for the first of two consecutive majors. That’s right, the COVID outbreak postponed the original playing in April moving the event to the fall for the first time. The Tour returns to Augusta National in a few months giving those wh... 

Even though the date has changed the excitement for the 2020 Masters hasn’t. The field was reduced by one with Sergio Garcia withdrawing due to a positive COVID test meaning 93 golfers will vie for the coveted green jacket when play begins from Augusta National on Thursday. And the major championships bring out the best so there won’t be a shortage of top contenders to wager on. Bryson DeChambeau is the betting favorite and can become the first back-to-back major winner in five years after his triumph at the U.S. Open. OWGR No. 1 Dustin Johnson is the second favorite and Brooks Koepka looks to return to his dominant form in majors. Can we count out Tiger Woods? He hasn’t shown us much but the defending champ captured his 15th major title here last year and should always be considered a threat.

One final tuneup ahead of the rescheduled Masters has the PGA Tour in the Lone Star State for this week’s Vivint Houston Open. And we’ll see a number of big-name players attempt to work out the kinks before the final major championship of 2020. Dustin Johnson and Adam Scott are making their first starts since testing positive for COVID and they are among six players in the OWGR top-20 set to play. Despite recent inactivity and battling the virus, DJ is the prohibitive favorite on the oddsboard, though he’ll be challenged by Brooks Koepka, Tony Finau and Tyrell Hatton among others. Lanto Griffin is back to defend his title that he won on a different course in 2019. Visit BookMaker.eu for a complete list of betting odds when you’re ready to place a wager. ...

OWGR No. 1 Dustin Johnson and Adam Scott are making their first Tour starts since testing positive for COVID-19, and Brooks Koepka will test out his surgically-repaired knee. Lanto Griffin will be hard presse... 

With the Masters a few weeks out a number of high-profile players skipped the trip to Southampton for this week’s Bermuda Championship, leaving a wide-open field to battle for the full allotment of FedExCup points that are available. The tournament got a boost in status for its second playing, but the timing couldn’t have been worse. Fans that will be allowed to witness the event live ... 

The PGA Tour returns to Southampton this week for the second edition of the 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 the Masters a few weeks away most of the Tour’s elite opted against the additional travel. That leaves the door open for younger players to make a statement l... 

The second edition of the ZOZO Championship gets a new venue and the most galvanizing figure in the game. COVID forced the tournament to move from Japan and instead will be played at Sherwood Country Club in Southern California. Defending champion Tiger Woods was going to tee it up anyway and the move sweetened the deal. Nobody knows the Sherwood layout better than Tiger since he dominated h... 

Another reshuffling of the PGA Tour schedule has this year’s edition of the ZOZO Championship taking place at Sherwood Country Club in Thousand Oaks, Calif. Last year the event became the first ever held in Japan. The plan is for the ZOZO Championship to return to its original host next year. In the meantime 78 players will tee it up at the Jack Nicklaus-designed course nestled at the base o... 

Thanks to COVID the PGA Tour gets a nice two-week stay in Las Vegas. The second leg of the Vegas Swing takes place this week with the relocated CJ Cup at Shadow Creek. The fourth edition of this event moves from South Korea due to the pandemic and will be played at one of the most exclusive joints in the world with a no-cut field of 78 golfers. The Tour couldn’t completely avoid th...

The fourth playing of this event will again feature a no-cut field of 78 golfers. Defending champion Justin Thomas, who... 

The PGA Tour heads to the Nevada desert for a two-tournament swing in Las Vegas beginning Thursday with the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open at TPC Summerlin.

Las Vegas is a destination location and the PGA Tour caught on scheduling its own mini Vegas Swing. I guess there could be worse places to spend a few weeks. The two tournament Sin City Swing starts this week with the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open and concludes with the relocated CJ CUP. Along with it we have a strong field of pl... 

It’s not a high-profile tournament on the PGA Tour but the Sanderson Farms Championship does offer a full allotment of FedExCup points to the winner as a stand-alone event for the second straight year.

After a brief stop in the Dominican Republic the PGA Tour is back in the U.S. in Jackson, Mississippi for the Sanderson Farms Championship.
