Golf Sportsbooks
Professional golf involves focus and discipline in a game that has existed for more than 150 years. Golf sportsbooks include betting lines on over 450 pro golfers worldwide, with top ranking players among both men’s and women’s golf.
The largest winnings in professional golfing tours come from the PGA Tour. During the 44 weeks of America’s regular golfing season, the PGA Tour hosts 48 tournaments with 132 to 156 players. In addition to the prestigious PGA Tour and its rich purses, the next top three professional golf events are the European Tour, the Champions Tour for senior golfers and the women’s LPGA Tour.

Betting on Golf
The most common betting lines at top golf sportsbooks are individual outright wins per tournament or pro golf event. Odds to win are listed by players competing in the event. A few events have special betting coupons without Tiger Woods, as a means of balancing the odds more evenly for other golfers. Bets can be placed on match ups over a tournament’s full 72 holes or 18-hole match ups. Golf betting can also be done based on player groups in the full tournament or in 3-ball and 2-ball groups for each half of the four-day tournaments.
