Odds provided by BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Tuesday at 7:25 a.m. ET.
Daniel Berger (+2000)
Berger has been out of tournament play since a T-17 finish at the Zozo Championship. He returns from longer than a month of rest ranked sixth in the Golfweek/Sagarin world rankings. He’s the second-best golfer in the field by that measure but shares the fifth-best betting odds.
Berger has one win, a runner-up, two third-place finishes and three other top 10s with just one missed cut through 16 events in 2020. He hasn’t played this event since a 51st-place showing in 2014, but he has consistently been one of the top Tour pros since the mid-June restart and his win at the Charles Schwab Challenge. He averaged 1.86 total strokes gained on the field through 57 measured rounds in the 2019-20 season, according to Data Golf.

2020 Mayakoba Golf Classic betting picks – Contender
Harold Varner III (+6600)
Varner missed the cut at both the Bermuda Championship and the RSM Classic, but he has a T-13 at the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open and a T-15 at the Houston Open mixed into those results. He has a fifth- and sixth-place finish in four appearances at this event but finished just 58th in 2019.
He’s averaging 1.27 Strokes Gained: Tee-to-Green and 0.65 SG: Approach through 13 measured rounds early in the 2020-21 season. That approach game will play well at the short – 6,987-yard – El Camaleon GC.
2020 Mayakoba Golf Classic betting picks – Long shot
Wesley Bryan (+15000)
Wesley hasn’t won on the PGA Tour since the 2017 RBC Heritage. He recently tied for 12th at the Sanderson Farms Championship before a missed cut at the Bermuda Championship and an extended layoff.
He’s averaging 0.53 SG: Approach through six measured rounds this season. His 1.33 SG: Approach would have led the Tour last season if he had played enough rounds to qualify.
