Canadian Open Betting Tips Jhonattan Vegas won his second PGA Tour title at the Canadian open last year *Betting Odds provided by Sky Bet (paying up to six places) Matt Kuchar - 10/1: Arguably the world's most consistent player did nothing wrong at the British Open last week, but a miracle comeback from Jordan Spieth ended his hopes of becoming a major winner. Nevertheless, he will have taken confidence off his second place finish, and he also has form at the event, with three top 10's at Glen Abbey; including a T2 in 2013. Jim Furyk - 40/1: The Ryder Cup veteran has not performed to anywhere near his best this season; even missing six consecutive cuts in a stretch from April - June. He has since broken that streak and attained three top 35 finishes, but he is still not at his best.

In the five years between 2011 - 2015, Johnson finished T3, 1, T2, T2, T3. That run of results is insane. He has not been in the greatest form of late but he always plays well at the John Deere. Ryan Moore - 30/1: The reigning Champion goes into the week having not been at his best for some time, but like Johnson, Moore is also a player that always performs near his best at the John Deere. He's made 8/8 cuts here in his career, with no finish outside the top 25 in any of the last five editions here. Ben Martin - 40/1: Martin came so close to winning the event last year, but he was narrowly pipped to the title by Ryan Moore. Nevertheless, that solo second place finish will give him confidence this week, and when you combine that with the seven straight ...

In the past two years at his event, he has finished T17 in 2016 and 2nd in 2015. Daniel Berger - 28/1: Two events ago, Berger became a two-time winner on the PGA Tour as he retained the FedEx St Jude title.

Marc Leishman - 30/1: The Australian is 5/5 in his last five starts at the Travelers; a stretch of results that reads T9, T39, T11, T30, Win.

(GOLF) FedEx St. Jude Classic Betting Tips

Image
FedEx St. Jude Classic Betting Tips Daniel Berger won his first PGA Tour title at the FedEx St. Jude Classic last year *Odds Provided by Sky Bet Brooks Koepka - 10/1: The American is the second favourite this week behind Rickie Fowler. In his three starts here, he has finished T2, T3 and T19. He has not won on the PGA Tour this season, but still sits 17th on the FedEx Cup rankings thanks to two second place finishes. Phil Mickelson - 16/1: Mickelson has not won since 2013, which is cause for concern. He is also not playing to a standard that we should probably expect from him, having only finished in the top ten on two occasions this year. Nevertheless, he has still made the cut in his last 16 events, dating back to September last year. He has also finished T2, T3, T11 and T2 in the past four years here. Billy Horschel - 28/1:  The 2014 FedEx Cup Champions was a winner at the AT&T Nelson just a few weeks ago and also has a solid record here, having finished in t...

He is 2/2 at the Memorial with a T11 and a T8 to his name. Charl Schwartzel - 66/1 The South African is the most consistent player in the field at this tournament, with five finishes inside the top 22 in the last six editions of the Memorial. Worryingly, after a solo third place finish at the Masters, he has followed that up with a MC at the Players and a WD at the Byron Nelson. However, at 66/1 he could be worth a shot this week. Marc Leishman - 66/1 The Australian has made the cut in the last six editions at the Memorial, including a T11 in 2016 and a T5 in 2015. He has made 10 cuts in his 12 starts in 2017, including a win at the Arnold Palm...

In the past five editions at Colonial, he has had two 2nd place finishes and a T6 to his name. He has also been in good form in recent months, having made his last ten cuts. Seven of those have gone for top 25 finishes. Kevin Kisner - 28/1: Kisner has got to win again soon. His form has alluded him in his past few events, but aside from that he has already five top 11 finishes this year. In regards to his course form, he has a T10 in 2016 and a T5 in 2015 to his name. Chris Kirk - 40/1:  The four time PGA Tour winner has not enjoyed a very good start to 2017, but there are signs that his struggles may have come to an end. In his last start at the Players, he recorded a T12 finish. He clearly enjoys playing at Colonial, having made all of his last six ...

(GOLF) BMW PGA Championship Betting Tips

Image
BMW PGA Championship Betting Tips Last year's champion, Chris Wood *Odds provided by Sky Bet Fransesco Molinari - 14/1:  The Italian recorded four straight top nine finishes in Virginia Water between 2012 - 2015, before a T55 finish last year snapped that streak. He has been in great form recently which suggests he could record another high finish this week, having finished in a T6 at The Players Championship in his last start. Chris Wood - 33/1:  The defending champion should not be ruled out for winning the title two years in a row. In addition to his win here in 2016, he finished in a T4 in 2015 and a T21 in 2014. In his last solo start just over a month ago, he finished in a T4 at the Volvo China. At 33/1 he represents great value. Shane Lowry - 40/1:  Lowry was one of the favourites to lift the title last year, but crumbled on the first two days, leading to a disappointing missed cut. However, in the past five years before that, he had recorded...

AT&T Byron Nelson Betting Tips Sergio Garcia celebrates following his victory at the 2016 AT&T Byron Nelson Championship *Odds provided by Sky Bet Brooks Koepka - 14/1: Koepka comes into this week as 4th favourite according to Sky Bet. After a missed cut here in his debut in 2014, he has come back strongly; finishing in a T10 in 2015 and a playoff loss to Garcia in 2016. He has also finished in the top 16 in all of his last 5 starts on the world stage. Charley Hoffman - 33/1: I have picked him so many times this year, simply because I firmly believe he has a strong chance of winning each week. Hoffman has good form at the course, having finished in the top 12 in his last 3 starts. His form has cooled in recent weeks, but his history at the Byron Nelson Championship means he could challenge this week. Tony Finau - 33/1: Finau is a very impressive player and I expect him to rack up quite a few PGA Tour titles in his career. In his two starts here, he has finished i...

Image
Valero Texas Open Betting Tips: 2016 Valero Texas Open Champion, Charley Hoffman *Odds provided by Sky Bet Betting Tips: Charley Hoffman - 20/1: The reigning champion comes into this week with a great chance of retaining his crown. Although he missed the cut last week, he had been in goof form before that with a good showing at the Masters, as well as high finishes in Texas and Florida. But it's his recent course form that sets him apart from the rest of the field. His last six starts have been 1st, T11, T11, T3, T11, T2. Expect him to be a factor on Sunday. Billy Horschel - 25/1: Horschel is on this list on virtue of his history at this event. Regardless of any form in recent weeks, he always seems the play well here. He has four top 5's in his last three starts, and has had also recorded a T13 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and a T4 at the Honda Classic in recent weeks. Brendan Steele - 25/1: The American returns to the event where he won hi...

One of the most consistent golfers in world golf, the American managed an impressive T4 finish at the US Masters last week. He also likes the event, having recorded three consecutive top 10's here, including his win in 2014. Branden Grace - 22/1: The defending champion will most probably be a factor again this year. In his last two starts at Hilton Head, he has a win and a T7 finish to his name. He is also in steady form recently, having made the cut in twelve of his last fourteen events. Luke Donald - 30/1: Donald has done everything but win in this event.

(GOLF) US Masters Betting Tips

Image
US Masters Betting Tips Last year's surprise winner, Englishman Danny Willett *Odds provided by Sky Bet. Dustin Johnson - 11/2: The overwhelming favourite this week is DJ and rightly so. Someone's got to play really well if they are to beat the world number one. Victories in his last 3 starts. A T6 here in 2015 and a T4 last year. He's going to be very hard to beat. Jordan Spieth - 7/1: He's led the Masters for eight of the last ten rounds played at Augusta. In his only three starts here, he has finished T2, 1, T2. Worryingly he missed the cut in Houston last week, but signs before that showed he was getting back to his best form which saw him dominate in 2015. He may have slipped to 6 in the world, but do not be surprised if he atones for his errors last year and regains the green jacket. Tyrell Hatton - 50/1: The Englishman has been superb in recent times and he could be someone who has a very solid week. He's finished no worse than a T17 in seven...

(GOLF) Houston Open Preview and Betting Tips

Image
Shell Houston Open: Texas is the home for this week's PGA Tour event as the players head to Houston. With The Masters just a week away, many of those playing on the biggest stage are playing this week in order to get some final practice in before the biggest week of the year. The field is therefore stacked, with Jordan Spieth, Henrik Stenson and Justin Rose just a few that will tee it up this week. The course is a par-71 measuring 7,457 yards. Scoring is usually low with scores regularly eclipsing 15 under par. Although usually a marquee event due to it being a week before the Masters, players with less prestige on tour tend to do well; with Jim Herman, D.A Points and Matt Jones all lifting the trophy in the past 5 years. Last Year:  Jim Herman would go into the final round with the 54-hole lead. The American was 179th in the world rankings and without a win. It looked as if he would be under a lot of pressure to achieve victory for the first time on the PGA Tour, with Henrik S...

(GOLF) Puerto Rico Open Preview and Betting Tips

Image
Puerto Rico Open Alongside the World Golf Championship in Texas this week, the PGA Tour will also host a lesser event in the shape of the Puerto Rico Open.  The tournament will be held at Trump International Golf Club, with the course a Par 72 measuring 7,569 yards. With most of the world's best players playing in Texas, this tournament will represent great opportunities for those playing. Not only does it provide lesser known players the chance to win a PGA Tour sanctioned event, but it also provides an opportunity for those that are fighting to retain/win their tour card to accumulate both money and FedEx cup points. This event is therefore a big week for all of its competitors. Last Year: Tony Finau won his maiden PGA Tour event as he emerged victorious following a playoff with Steve Marino. After both recorded -2 par rounds of 70 in the final round to tie for the lead, it was the big hitting American who would prevail after 3 extra holes. Unfortunately, Finau will not de...

(GOLF) Arnold Palmer Invitational Preview and Betting Tips

Arnold Palmer Invitational The PGA Tour makes the short trip across Florida from Palm Harbor to Orlando in order to contest the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Unfortunately, this will be the first event played after the passing of the late Arnold Palmer, ensuring the week will be one filled with emotion. Nevertheless, given that this is one of the marquee events on the PGA Tour, the field will comprise of a number of the world's top players who will no doubt be inspired to play their best in memory of the late great. In terms of the course, Bay Hill is a par 72 measuring 7,419 yards. Despite it's lengthy yardage scoring is usually low, with the last 5 editions being won with a score of -13 or lower. Last Year: Jason Day held the 54 hole lead at -15 and a 2 shot lead over his nearest competitors, but proceedings weren't plain sailing for the Australian as he opened with 3 bogeys in his first 5 holes. This allowed Kevin Chappell to make his mark, and the American held the le...
