Golf Betting

Golf betting is as popular as ever throughout the World, as bookies continue to offer all kinds of markets on the tournaments each week, and with wall-to-wall coverage on TV of all four majors, betting on Golf is set to become more popular.

Bookies now offer a massive range of odds on all four of the grand slam events - The Masters, The US Open, The British Open and the USPGA. Although there are tournaments every week on both the PGA Tour in the USA and the European Tour throughout Europe and Asia, the four majors obviously attract more interest.

Some of the bets you can now place on golf are listed below:

• Tournament Winner
• Top 5 or Top 10 Finish
• To Make or Miss the Cut
• Top Player by Country
• Top Player by Continent
• Group Betting

During the four majors, bookmakers will increase the number of markets significantly, and often offer specials such as five or even six places paid out, as opposed to the traditional four.

Hints and Tips

Betting on Golf isn't really like betting on any other sports, mainly because of the sheer size of the fields involved which are almost always in excess of 100. For this reason, it's really difficult to pick out the winner of a tournament week in, week out.

Bookies will offer palce betting too though, which makes things easier - but still you have to pick a player to finish in the top 3 (sometimes this is extended to 4 or even 5 places if the tournament is popular). However, there is a payoff in that the odds are more generous to reflect the difficulty of picking the winner. Often the favourite for the event will go off $6 or more.

There's plenty of information available on the net, where you can follow player's progress and how they play on certain courses. We highly recommend PGATOUR.com as you can see how each player has been playing every week of the season, with detailed stats such as Driving Accuracy, Greens in Regulation, Putts Per Round and hundreds more. It's easy to get bogged down in these stats though, so just keep to the major ones.

Some players have exceptional records at certain courses, mostly because that course suits their type of play (good short iron player, or straight driver). You can get some good odds on these players, especially if they are out of form at the time.
