Betting Guide for Golf
With The Masters starting on Thursday, we thought it was a great time to talk about the basics and keys to betting on golf.
Before you bet, you must know the simplest things about a golf tournament, and that is a typical PGA event starts on Thursday and finishes on Sunday. The LIV Golf League is different because it focuses on 54-hole stroke play (instead of 72) for individual and team titles. It also goes Friday-Sunday, and that’s a blog for another day (lol).
Research is also crucial to earning a profit in betting on PGA tournaments. There are many sites, including PGA.com, datagolf.com, ESPN.com and golfstats.com.
Let’s focus on the basics for betting the PGA Tour:
1)Outright Winner:
If you are picking a player, say Tiger Woods, (I know he’s out), to win The Masters Tournament, that he must finish first outright, and if it goes to a playoff, he must win it. You can pick Scottie Scheffler to win The Masters (+495 on DK), and you can make a nice scorer, even though he’s the favorite. Scheffler has played in six events in 2026 and is averaging 68.3 to rank second behind Jake Knapp. He also has one win and three top 10s.
2)Each-Way Betting:
This is where you pick a player to win and a player to finish in the top positions. You can still win partial money if your golfer places, but doesn’t win. For example, you can combine an outright winner bet with a placement bet (one that will finish in the top 5. When you make an each-way bet, your wager amount is doubled into two bets: a win bet and a place bet.
3)Head-to-Head Matchups:
This is where you bet on one golfer to perform better than the other. Since they are both not playing, let’s say Phil Mickelson vs. Tiger Woods. Whoever has the lower total score over the tournament wins. You must also distinguish between betting on a tournament or a round matchup in this type of bet.
4)Top Finish Bets
This is a very popular bet, which can include a Top 5, 10, 20, 30, or 40. This is much easier than picking the winner, but the payouts are much lower.
If you bet $500 on Mickelson to finish in the top 20 (+130) at a certain event and he finishes 12th, you would earn $650 in profit. Now, certain dead heat rules may apply at the sportsbook you are looking at that may come into play with top finish bets. If a player finishes in a tie for 20th with other players, I would make sure you choose a sportsbook that says next to the winner odds that say “including ties”.
