If you want to place any sports bet, here’s a quick guide on how exactly you should go about it.
Biggest Betting Events in Golf
Golf is played year-round with several high-profile events featuring throughout the calendar year. The golfing scene has changed considerably in recent years with more and more money being poured into the sport meaning that there are some high-profile events that have only come into existence recently. One thing money can’t buy though is history, prestige, and status, which is why every golfer wants to get their hands on one of the four majors that take place throughout the year.
The Masters and The British Open are generally regarded as being the most prestigious of the four majors but The US Open as well as the PGA Tour Open are also held in the highest esteem. The format of golf mirrors very closely to grand slams in tennis. Meaning that a player could win a lot of tournaments and be ranked number one in the world but they will ultimately be judged on how many majors they have won. Tiger Woods, widely considered to be the best golfer of all time has won 15 majors while Jack Nicklaus managed to win 18 in a previous era.
Best Bets in Golf
Prop Bets
This bet consists of you betting on something that will happen during the tournament. This can range from will a certain player finishes higher up on the leaderboard than another player. Betting on how many eagles there will be during a tournament is also another example of a prop bet. These are called prop bets as you are not betting on something that is considered essential to the outcome of the tournament. These bets are a lot of fun and can involve some very peculiar bets.
Most Popular Bets in Golf
Outright Winner
If you were to place an outright bet on a golfer you would be backing them to win a tournament. The reason this is so popular in golf is that the odds of even the favourite winning a golfing tournament are usually very good because the field is so large and it is nearly impossible to guarantee victory since the margins in golf are very small.
Top Place Finishes
Backing a winner is very difficult as they need to finish first. Backing someone to place in the top 5 or top 10 though is a different matter. With this bet, you can take advantage of your golfing knowledge and select a few players you predict to have successful weeks.
