You want matchups, the PGA Tour has matchups. With the world’s greatest golfers assembled in Northern Ireland this week for the 148th Open Championship, there is a bevy of matchup choices as the field goes for the fourth major title of the year and possession of the Claret Jug. Tiger Woods pegs it up for the first time since the U.S. Open and has plus odds in a number of his matchups. There is money to be made should the Big Cat rise to the occasion, like he tends to do in majors. This is a home... 

The final major of the PGA Tour season is a dandy with the 148th playing of The Open Championship. We can also call it the British Open or just The Open, but it all means the same to the field of golfers assembling in Northern Ireland. Royal Portrush serves as host for the first time since 1951 and offers the field a typical links-style layout. All the big boys will be out battling for the Claret Jug with Rory McIlroy the betting favorite on the opening line at offshore sportsbooks. Major whiz B... 

With nearly all of the top players on the PGA Tour competing in The Open Championship, those who didn’t qualify for the fourth major will have a chance to pick up some scraps at the alternate Barbasol Championship, taking place this week at the Keene Trace Golf Club in Nicholasville, Kentucky. There are no top-50 players competing, but there is a good mix of talented young players and experienced veterans looking to pick up valuable FedEx Cup points. Troy Merritt is back to defend his title, however, there is no clear-cut favorite in the watered down field. Russell Henley opened at the top of the odds list at online sportsbooks, because someone had to. ... 

The last PGA Tour stop before the final major of the season takes place this week in the Quad Cities area with the playing of the John Deere Classic at TPC Deere Run in Silvis, Illinois. Not an ideal event to prepare for the Open Championship, most of the Tour’s big names are absent from the JDC. That doesn’t mean the play will be below par. The field is headlined by the last two Tour winners in Matthew Wolff and Nate Lashley, and will also feature a number of up-and-comers who are the future of... 

The swing through the Midwest comes to an end for the PGA Tour with this week’s playing of the John Deere Classic in Silvis, Illinois. Having the unenviable slot of being just ahead of the Open Championship, and thousands of miles away, the field is less than attractive for this year’s event. There may be a lack of big names but there’s no mistaking the talent level. A number of the Tour’s rising stars will get the chance to show off and as odds at online sportsbooks suggest, the field is wide o... 

The PGA Tour’s swing through the Midwest continues this week with the inaugural playing of the 3M Open at TPC Twin Cities in Blaine, Minnesota. The Tour hasn’t had a regular stop in Minnesota since 1969 and players will be greeted by an upgraded course. Headlining the field is world No. 1 Brooks Koepka, who is also the betting favorite at online sportsbooks. Eleven of the top 30 golfers in the latest FedEx Cup standings make for some interesting matchups, and odds for those are available at Book... 

The PGA Tour is hitting some overlooked spots with a trip this week to Minnesota for the inaugural 3M Open, which will be held at the TPC Twin Cities in Blaine. Last week the Tour stopped in Michigan for the first time in a decade and it’s been a half-century since Minnesotans enjoyed a regular PGA Tour visit. The maiden 3M Open has attracted a strong field with world No. 1 Brooks Koepka the betting favorite at online sportsbooks. The field also includes 11 of the top 30 in the latest FedEx Cup ... 

Not bad for a first timer. Placed between the last two majors of the season, the Rocket Mortgage Classic has attracted a strong field for its maiden event as the PGA Tour returns to Michigan for the first time in 10 years. The field will convene this week at the Detroit Golf Club with Gary Woodland playing for the first time as a major champion. Fresh off his four-shot win last week, Chez Reavie looks to go back-to-back. World No. 2 Dustin Johnson is the betting favorite with a number of interes... 

It’s been a decade since the PGA Tour last stopped in Michigan. That drought ends this week with the inaugural Rocket Mortgage Classic taking place at the Detroit Golf Club. The past two winners on Tour are in attendance and both are at the top of the odds board at online sportsbooks. Gary Woodland plays his first event as a major champion and Chez Reavie is coming off his four-shot win at the Travelers Championship. We keep seeing Dustin Johnson as a favorite in events he plays, and there he is... 

Fresh off his near miss for a three-peat at the U.S. Open, Brooks Koepka heads a strong field and is one of a number of players making the trek across the country for this week’s PGA Tour Travelers Championship, taking place at TPC River Highlands just outside of Hartford, Connecticut. Bubba Watson returns as defending champion and has two of his three titles at this event in the last four years. Not many have tamed the layout in suburban Cromwell, but Watson certainly has. There are a number of... 

The third major of the season is in the books and the PGA Tour heads to the other coast this week for the annual playing of the Travelers Championship. Despite the cross country travel after a stressful U.S. Open, the event has attracted a strong field. Defending champ Bubba Watson looks to become the second four-time winner of this event and he finds himself nestled down the odds board at +2800. One week after falling short in his quest for a third straight U.S. Open title, Brooks Koepka makes ... 

Assemble the greatest golfers on the planet on a majestic plot of land overlooking the Pacific Ocean while competing for a major championship, and the betting opportunities start to flow. The PGA Tour gathers at Pebble Beach Golf Links this week for the 119th playing of the U.S. Open. And what’s a major without Tiger Woods. The Big Cats is ready after missing the cut at the PGA Championship. That followed his green jacket ceremony at The Masters, so which player will we see this week? We also ha... 

The PGA Tour’s third major of the season gets underway Thursday with the 119th playing of the U.S. Open at the iconic Pebble Beach Golf Links along the California Coast. The top players in the world will assemble to try and dethrone two-time defending champion Brooks Koepka, who looks to become just the second player to three-peat at the U.S. Open while searching for his fifth title in the last 10 major championship tournaments. Dustin Johnson came off as the betting favorite and there are a num... 

There is plenty on the line when the PGA Tour’s third major of the season takes over the California Coast this week for the 119th playing of the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach Golf Links. There is the major championship, for one, along with a hefty payday for the winner. And the field is stacked with 156 of the top players in the world set to peg it up. Two-time defending champion Brooks Koepka goes for his fifth win in the last seven majors, and he’s not even the betting favorite. That distinction belongs to 2016 winner Dustin Johnson, who’s currently at +704 at BookMaker.eu. Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods round out the top four favorites. ... 

A number of the world’s top golfers will compete in this week’s RBC Canadian Open as a final tune-up before the PGA Tour’s third major. Not only does that make for quality golf, it also presents bettors with a number of delectable matchups. We also get a full field this week after a couple of invitation-only events, increasing the field and betting options. After four years at Glen Abbey, the Canadian Open returns to Hamilton Golf and Country Club for the first time since 2012. Scott Piercey won... 

The PGA Tour gets one last tune up before the third major of the season, and it takes place north of the border at the RBC Canadian Open. This event hasn’t been played in the month of June since 1989 and the new spot on the calendar has attracted plenty of big names ahead of the U.S. Open. After a few invitational events, the Tour returns to a full field and will be played at a new course for the first time in four years. The tournament moves from Glen Abbey to the Hamilton Golf and Country Club... 

This week’s stop on the PGA Tour got a little more exciting with the announcement that Tiger Woods is going to compete in the Memorial Tournament. Woods didn’t play after winning The Masters and the layoff may have had something to do with his missed cut a month later at the PGA Championship. Woods climbed into the top-5 of the Official World Golf Rankings for the first time in five years and is one of seven top-10 golfers that will peg it up at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio. Take a look at the matchups and odds for the event that begins on Thursday. ... 

It’s always good for the PGA Tour when Tiger Woods is involved, and the Big Cat is back on the prowl ready to peg it up this week at the Memorial Tournament. Woods hasn’t taken a competitive shot since missing the cut at the PGA Championship, yet he moved up the ranking to his highest spot in five years. Woods leapfrogged Justin Thomas to take over No. 5 on the OWGR and is one of seven golfers ranked among the top-10 scheduled to compete. No. 4 Rory McIlroy opened as the betting favorite at Book... 

With the buzz of the season’s second major behind them, PGA Tour members return to action in a more subdued environment this week at the invitation-only Charles Schwab Challenge, taking place at the famed Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas. Even with the absence of major winners Tiger Woods and Brooks Koepka, the field is strong and presents a number of quality matchups. Defending champion Justin Rose is at the top of the odds board at BookMaker.eu and is featured in a number of head-to-... 

After watching Brooks Koepka successfully defend his title at the PGA Championship last week, the Tour takes a break from all the hoopla of a major tournament. That doesn’t mean the stakes aren’t as high for the 122 players scheduled to peg it up at the invitation-only Charles Schwab Challenge, which gets underway Thursday from Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas. Justin Rose returns to defend his title and is the betting favorite along with Jon Rahm, in a strong field of players with a n... 

The PGA Championship moves up a few months on the calendar and the former fourth major of the season is now the second. The field will test it’s skill on one of the most challenging public courses in the country at the 101st playing of the event taking place at Bethpage State Park Black Course in Farmingdale, New York.... 

Just how popular is Tiger Woods? Well, take a look at the prop bets for golf’s second major and you’ll get a good idea. The Big Cat is all over the place. But there are 150 other golfers ready to stamp their name on the daunting Bethpage Black Course in Farmingdale, New York. After decades as the fourth major, the PGA Championship got bumped up the calendar a few months for this year’s playing and there is no shortage of contenders with 99 of the top 100 ranked players ready to peg it up.... 

The PGA Championship shows off its new timeslot as the season’s second major, getting underway May 16 at Bethpage State Park Black Course in Farmingdale, New York. And for the first time at a major, every player in the OWGR top 100 will tee off. That makes for a loaded field and a bunched top of the odds board at BookMaker.eu. Tiger Woods hasn’t taken a competitive swing since slipping on the green jacket at Augusta last month, yet he’s the co-second favorite along with defending champion Brooks... 

Thanks to his win last month at The Masters, Tiger mania is back. And so are the betting options at BookMaker on Tiger Woods winning the Grand Slam. The Big Cat won his first major championship in 11 years in dramatic fashion at Augusta, rekindling talk of him not only catching Jack Nicklaus for the most major titles in history, but also becoming the first Masters era player to win the Grand Slam.... 

The season’s second major is set to tee off May 16-19 and that means we’ll see the first of Tiger Woods at the PGA Championship since his win at the Masters last month. Woods hasn’t played since then so he should be well rested. But how much rust has accumulated on that aging body? Not much according to oddsmakers, who listed Woods as the second favorite along with Dustin Johnson at BookMaker.eu....
