Golf Betting Trends and What to Expect this year

This year, golfers will be playing $18 million at stake at the Augusta National Golf Course. However, some believe that this year may be different. This is because this year, a lot of underdogs have been winning. One example is Scottie Scheffler who already has 2 wins under his belt this year. While this is what makes golf more interesting, it is certainly giving sports betting websites a hard time.

However, sports handicappers believe that this will not be the case for the Masters Golf Tournament this year. This is because historically speaking, the Masters is far more predictive than other PGA tournaments.

One of the reasons gambling news websites are not expecting to see a rookie win because of the Masters’ winner data. Since the tournament began, only 3 players have ever won the Masters during their first appearance there. In fact, the last person rookie golfer to do so was Fuzzy Zoeller in 1979. Therefore, it is a good idea to not wager too much on a long shot at this year’s Masters Tournament.

Instead, you should be watching out for Jon Rahm. This is because he will try to join Tiger Woods, Nick Faldo and Jack Nicklaus as the only back-to-back winners. On the other hand, Rory McIlroy will be trying for his10th time to complete a career Grand Slam.
