Rory McIlroy is the favorite in the outright market to end his nine-year drought without a major title as the best golfers in the world assemble at Royal Liverpool in England for The Open Championship. McIlroy last won a major in 2014 that included a stop at this course where he bested Rickie Fowler. A month later he toppled the field in the PGA Championship for his fourth and thus f... 

For those who didn’t qualify for The Open Championship there’s no need to worry. That’s because the PGA Tour scheduled an alternate field event for players to earn valuable FedExCup points with the season nearing an end and to not feel left out. A full field including DP World Tour talent assembles for the fourth straight year in the Sierra Nevada’s at the Tahoe Mountain Club for the Barracuda Championship. As a reminder that since this is the only event on Tour that uses the Modified Stableford scoring system a plus score is good. Points are awarded for how players perform on each hole. The field lacks big names but it won’t be short of matchup wagering options. BookMaker.eu has a complete updated list of matchup odds when you’re ready to place a wager. ... 

All eyes will be on Rory McIlroy as the best golfers in the world descend on Royal Liverpool in England for The Open Championship, the season’s final major. Why McIlroy you ask?

With most of the golf world in England for The Open Championship this week there is a need for another tournament. And the PGA Tour gives us the Barracuda Championship to fill the void as an alternate field event. With the season nearing its conclusion valuable FedExCup points are out there for bubble players to improve their standing. Like last year members of the DP World Tour are invited to play with the expanded field assembling at Tahoe Mountain Club. This is the only PGA Tour stop featuring the Modified Stableford scoring system, which credits points based on how players perform at each hole. For example, an eagle is worth five points, a birdie is worth two points and no points are awarded for par. Points are deducted for plus-strokes on a hole. Stephan Jaeger opened as the betting favorite though the odds suggest a wide-open field. Visit BookMaker.eu for a complete list of betting odds when you’re ready to place a wager. ...

One final stop ahead of the season’s third major has the PGA Tour north of the border for the RBC Canadian Open, taking place for the first time at Oakdale Golf and Country Club in Toronto. A strong field is headlined by the longest defending champion. Rory McIlroy won this event when it was held in 2019 and following a two-year hiatus due to COVID he triumphed again. McIlroy is heavily favored in the outright market to become the first three-peat winner at this event, and in order to do that he’ll need to successfully navigate another course. There is a strong contingent of Canadian players led by Corey Conners, who is ranked the highest in the FedExCup standings among the 20 players looking to get a win on home soil for the first time since 1954. Conners, Adam Svensson and Mackenzie Hughes each have a win already this season. Check out a complete list of matchup odds at BookMaker.eu when you’re ready to make a wager. ...

McIlroy opened as the prohibitive favorite seek... 

With its status upgraded to a designated event, an even stronger field will assemble at the house that Jack built for this week’s Memorial Tournament.

For golf bettors, major championships are the equivalent of the Super Bowl with a healthy menu of proposition bets to liven up your tournament betting experience. This year’s PGA Championship will have over 150 of the best golfers in the world competing for the coveted Wannamaker Trophy and there is no shortage of betting opportunities. With golf an international sport and a huge field set to peg it up, nationality props are a big deal. As it stands right now Scottie Scheffler is the betting favorite in the outright market putting him tops among all American players. Another thing is we shouldn’t expect low scores at Oak Hill Country Club. The course hosted three previous editions yielding an average winning score of 7-under par. And that was before the property underwent a massive renovation a few years ago. Rarely in a major does a player lead wire-to-wire so investing in the first-round leader will be different from the outright winner, or at least it should be. Round leaders are another popular prop bet. There are, of course, the standard pick the winner and tournament and round matchup bets with sportsbooks going all out to produce an abundance of props. So if you’re looking for some side action to spice up your tournament experience head over to BookMaker.eu to check out the expanded prop bet menu for the 2023 PGA Championship. ...

However, with the biggest names in the sport pegging it up it’s really anybody’s game.

The tournament returns to Oak Hill for the first time since Jason Dufner posted a 2-shot victory in 2013.
