Golf Futures: Updated Betting Odds for 2020 PGA Tour Majors

Looking at changes to golf futures betting odds for the PGA Tour’s three majors in 2020 following the Charles Schwab Challenge.

[jwplayer qZQYr3AX]

The 2019-20 PGA Tour season resumed this past weekend with the Charles Schwab Challenge. Daniel Berger conquered a star-studded field for his first win since the 2017 FedEx St. Jude Classic. In doing so, he vaulted to No. 31 in the Official World Golf Ranking and gained entry to the 2020 PGA Championship.

The first tournament in three months shook up the golf futures betting odds. Below, we’ll look at the updated odds for the 2020 PGA Championship, US Open and Masters as the PGA Tour season ramps up.

2020 Masters: Early odds, predictions, picks and PGA Tour best bets

Analyzing the golf betting odds to win the 2020 Masters, with PGA Tour betting odds, picks, predictions and best bets.

The 2020 Masters Tournament will take place Nov. 12-15 under the PGA Tour’s revised 2020 schedule. Below, we break down the 2020 Masters betting odds, with PGA Tour predictions, picks and best bets.

Augusta National Golf Club measures 7,475 yards and plays to a par of 72. The 2020 field has been set at 96 golfers. Anyone who wins an event between mid-June and the 2020 tournament will then qualify for the 2021 Masters to be played next April.

2020 Masters Betting Picks – Tier 1

Odds provided by BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Monday, April 20 at 3 p.m. ET.

Justin Thomas (+1400)

Thomas, the 2017 PGA Championship winner, tied for 12th at last year’s Masters for his best result in four appearances. He made the cut in all four career tries at Augusta. Of his 12 career PGA Tour wins, eight have come between August and December. He won twice in 2019, at the BMW Championship and CJ Cup, and he won the 2020 Sentry Tournament of Champions.

Thomas is one of the best-rounded golfers on Tour, and he ranked fifth with 1.958 total strokes gained per round on the 2019-20 season before the season was put on hold.

Tommy Fleetwood (+2800)

Fleetwood has runner-up results at both the US Open (2018) and Open Championship (2019), but a top showing of just T-17 at the 2018 Masters. A five-time winner on the European Tour, he ranks sixth in the Golfweek/Sagarin world rankings. His putter has often kept him out of the winner’s circle, but he has one of the best approach games in the world.

2020 Masters Betting Picks – Tier 2

Feb 29, 2020; Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, USA; Lee Westwood walks off of the eighth green during the third round of the 2020 Honda Classic golf tournament at PGA National (Champion). (Photo Credit: Reinhold Matay – USA TODAY Sports)

Lee Westwood (+8000)

The soon-to-be 47-year-old Westwood was becoming a popular pick for an April Masters before play was put on pause. The midseason stoppage has allowed for his odds to become more profitable again and will return $800 on a $10 bet.

He earned his 41st career victory at the European Tour’s Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship in January, and he tied for fourth at The Honda Classic in early March.

Sergio Garcia (+8000)

The 2017 Masters champ has missed the cut each of the last two years at Augusta and in seven of his last nine majors. He was returning to better form early in 2020, however, as he had two top 10s on the European Tour before a T-37 showing at The Genesis Invitational.

Danny Willett (+12500)

It was Willett who dressed Garcia in his green jacket as the 2016 Masters champion. Willett has missed the cut each of the past three years, but he tied for sixth at last year’s Open Championship. He won on the European Tour each of the last two years, most recently winning the BMW PGA Championship in September, besting a field including Jon Rahm and Patrick Reed.

Corey Conners (+17500)

Conners is my favorite long-shot bet due to his incredibly strong tee-to-green and approach games. Like Fleetwood, he struggles with the putter, but he’s able to give himself good looks and needs to get hot for only four days. He tied for 46th in his debut last year after gaining a late entry with his win at the Valero Texas Open.

2020 US Open: Early odds, predictions, picks and PGA Tour best bets

Analyzing the golf betting odds to win the 2020 US Open, with PGA Tour betting odds, picks, predictions and best bets.

The 2020 US Open is set to take place at Winged Foot Golf Club in Mamaroneck, N.Y. Sept. 17-20 under the PGA Tour’s revised 2020 schedule. Below, we look at the US Open betting odds, with PGA Tour predictions, picks and best bets.

Winged Foot has previously hosted the US Open on five occasions, most recently in 2006 when Geoff Ogilvy outlasted Jim Furyk, Colin Montgomerie and Phil Mickelson. The par-70 West Course measures 7,264 yards in length under major conditions.

2020 US Open Betting Picks – Tier 1

Odds provided by BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Monday, April 20 at 3 p.m. ET.

Bryson DeChambeau (+2800)

DeChambeau was in top form before the PGA Tour season came to a halt as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. He tied for fifth at The Genesis Invitational, was the runner-up at the World Golf Championships-Mexico Championship and finished fourth at the Arnold Palmer Invitational.

If he can return to form when the golf season resumes in mid-June, these odds will quickly start to drop.

New to sports betting? A $10 bet on DeChambeau to win the 2020 US Open returns a profit of $280.

Webb Simpson (+3300)

Simpson currently holds top spot in the Golfweek/Sagarin world rankings. The 2012 US Open champ won the Waste Management Phoenix Open in February to cap a stretch of five straight top-10 results. He tied for 16th at the 2019 US Open, 10th at the 2018 US Open and fifth at last year’s Masters Tournament. Fifteen golfers currently have lower odds.

2020 US Open Betting Picks – Tier 2

Gary Woodland (+5000)

The defending US Open champ has racked up five other top-10 results in 16 worldwide events since his breakout major victory. He tied for eighth at The Honda Classic in his last event before the season was put on pause.

He’s one of the longest hitters on Tour and he proved last year he can putt on the lightning-quick US Open greens.

Viktor Hovland (+8000)

Hovland was the low amateur at last year’s US Open with a T-12 finish in just his second career major appearance. He earned his first PGA Tour victory earlier this year at the Puerto Rico Open and sits 38th in the Golfweek rankings. He’s exceptionally strong off the tee and few match his success when going for the green.

Cameron Smith (+10000)

Smith earned his first solo PGA Tour win at the Sony Open in Hawaii early in 2020. He tied for fourth in his US Open debut in 2015, but he has a missed cut and a top finish of just T-59 in three appearances since. He’s one of the Tour’s best putters and was gaining .775 strokes per round with the flat stick early in the 2019-20 season.

Kevin Na (+15000)

Na is a four-time PGA Tour winner, including two victories in 2019 and one in 2018. He finished seventh at the 2016 US Open but followed it up with a T-32 in 2017 and a missed cut last year (he didn’t play in 2018). Only six listed golfers have longer odds.

2020 PGA Championship: Early odds, predictions, picks and PGA Tour best bets

Analyzing the golf betting odds to win the 2020 PGA Championship, with PGA Tour betting odds, picks, predictions and best bets.

The PGA Tour will attempt to resume play in mid-June under a revised schedule for the 2020 season. The 2020 PGA Championship is set to take place from Aug. 6-9 at TPC Harding Park in San Francisco. Below, we break down the PGA Championship betting odds, with predictions, picks and PGA Tour best bets.

TPC Harding Park will host a major tournament for the first time. The last PGA Tour event played there was the 2015 World Golf Championships-Cadillac Match Play, won by Rory McIlroy, who currently ranks No. 2 in the Golfweek/Sagarin world rankings. The course measures 7,169 yards and plays to a par of 72.

2020 PGA Championship Betting Picks – Tier 1

Odds provided by BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Monday, April 20 at 3:45 p.m. ET.

Brooks Koepka (+1400)

Koepka has slipped to No. 9 in Golfweek’s world rankings. He was off to a poor start to 2020 with a missed cut at The Honda Classic, a T-43 at The Genesis Invitational and T-47 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational before play was put on pause.

The four-time major winner, and back-to-back winner of the PGA Championship, finished inside the top five in all four majors in 2019. He’s only the No. 4 betting favorite.

New to sports betting? A $10 bet on Koepka to win the 2020 PGA Championship will return a profit of $140.

Looking to place a bet on the 2020 PGA Championship? Get some action on it at BetMGM. Bet Now!

Sungjae Im (+4000)

Contrary to Koepka, Im was playing the best golf of his career prior to the break. He earned his first PGA Tour victory at The Honda Classic and finished third at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. He has missed the cut in three of four career major appearances, including the PGA Championship and Open Championship last year, but he’s just 22 years old. These odds are much higher than what he was getting early this season.

2020 PGA Championship Betting Picks – Tier 2

Marc Leishman (+5000)

Leishman earned a win at the Farmers Insurance Open early this year and finished as the runner-up at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. He has never won a major, but he has five top-10 finishes in 33 events. He also made it to the Round of 16 at the 2015 match play at TPC Harding Park.

Francesco Molinari (+8000)

Few in golf needed a break as badly as Molinari. The former Open champion missed the cut in three straight events to begin his 2020 campaign, and he finished just T-53 at the WGC-Mexico Championship. Majors are a different story, and recent champs should always be backed at these odds.

He tied for second at the 2017 PGA Championship and tied for sixth in 2018 before finishing T-48 in 2019.

Bernd Wiesberger (+10000)

The little-known Austrian won three times on the European Tour last year. He didn’t participate in either of the last two PGA Championships, but he is a bargain at these odds based on his success in Europe as he seeks his first PGA Tour win.

Joaquin Niemann (+15000)

Niemann claimed his first professional victory at A Military Tribute at The Greenbrier to open the 2019-20 PGA Tour season before missing the cut in five of his next 11 events before the break. The 21-year-old has made the cut in just one of three majors in his career, but he’s a value as a winner with only 10 golfers holding longer odds.

Report: U.S. Open postponed until late summer

The U.S. Open, scheduled for June 18-21 at the Winged Foot Golf Club, has been postponed, according to the New York Post. The New York Post reported on Thursday night that the U.S. Open will be be postponed from its June date at the Winged Foot Golf …

The U.S. Open, scheduled for June 18-21 at the Winged Foot Golf Club, has been postponed, according to the New York Post.

The New York Post reported on Thursday night that the U.S. Open will be be postponed from its June date at the Winged Foot Golf Club in Mamaroneck, N.Y., and played later in the summer.

City sources “with knowledge of the United States Golf Association’s plans,” the Post said the USGA has informed Winged Foot officials that the tournament won’t be played June 18-21. The course was closed earlier this week because of an order by Gov. Andrew Cuomo to shut down all non-essential businesses in the state because of the coronavirus.

Construction of facilities and other preparations for the Open halted at that point.

The Open joins the Masters and the PGA Championship in being postponed from their original dates. The Masters, set for April 9-12 at the Augusta National Golf Club, has reportedly been re-scheduled for October and the PGA, set for May 14-17 at the TPC Harding Park in San Francisco, could be played during the late July, early August slot that was to have been occupied by Olympic golf.

The Olympics were postponed to next year.

″[We] remain hopeful about late in the summer, [maybe] early September,″ the source told the Post about the U.S. Open.

The source also said the club is “optimistic″ the tournament will remain at Winged Foot.

The USGA would not confirm moving the tournament.

“Nothing is official at this point,″ Beth Major, the USGA’s senior director of championship communications, told The Post. “Obviously, we’re talking about it, knowing what’s going on in New York right now.″

The USGA had previously said it would make a decision on the U.s. Open by the middle of April.

“We said, ‘middle of April and no later,’ ″ Major told the Post. “But [a decision] could come earlier, which for all of us would be great so we can go on with the plans.″

The last time professional golf at the highest level was played was the first round of The Players Championship on March 12, at the Players Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass. The Tour made the decision to cancel the rest of the tournament that night, and has since cancelled eight subsequent events.

Will Tiger Woods win a PGA Tour major championship in 2020?

Based off BetMGM‘s golf betting odds, I analyze Tiger’s best opportunities to win along with some of the best potential golf betting lines to cash in on Tiger’s play this year. This piece is part of a new SportsbookWire series, which will look at the PGA Tour’s biggest names and their chances of winning a major championship in 2020.

Tiger Woods’ 2019 PGA Tour highlights

  • Won Masters Tournament
  • T-9 Memorial Tournament
  • Won Zozo Championship

Odds to win a major in 2020

Name Official World Golf Ranking Odds Last PGA Tour win Last major
Brooks Koepka 1 +200 July 2019 2019 PGA Championship
Rory McIlroy 2 +250 Nov. 2019 2014 PGA Championship
Jon Rahm 3 +350 Jan. 2018 NA
Justin Thomas 4 +450 Oct. 2019 2017 PGA Championship
Dustin Johnson 5 +200 Feb. 2019 2016 US Open
Tiger Woods 6 +400 Oct. 2019 2019 Masters
Patrick Cantlay 7 +500 June 2019 NA
Justin Rose 8 +400 Jan. 2019 2013 US Open
Xander Schauffele 9 +500 Jan. 2019 NA
Tommy Fleetwood 10 +600 NA NA

Going purely by the Official World Golf Ranking measure, Tiger’s about where he should be. Johnson seems to be an outlier going into his fourth year since his last major. Alternatively, Thomas offers a slightly better value.

Tiger Woods’ best chance in 2020

Event 2020 Venue Best career result Odds
Masters Augusta National Won (1997, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2019) +1000
PGA Championship TPC Harding Park Won (1999, 2000, 2006, 2007) +1400
U.S. Open Winged Foot Won (2000, 2002, 2008) +1400
Open Championship Royal St. George’s Won (2000, 2005, 2006) +2500

Tiger’s best chance is at Augusta National, where he’ll be looking to win back-to-back green jackets and tie Jack Nicklaus’ all-time record of six Masters victories. A win would also move Woods within two of Nicklaus’ record 18 major championships.

Woods’ best value to win a major is at The Open. It’s one of the two major championships he has won just three times. Two of those victories were at St. Andrews with the other at Royal Liverpool. Tiger placed T-4 at the 2003 Open Championship at Royal St. George’s. He didn’t participate the last time it was at the venue in 2011.

Will Tiger Woods win a major in 2020?

Woods ignited the golf world last April when he won his fifth green jacket. Now, it’s impossible to count him out until the day he finally steps away. He opened his season with a victory at the Zozo Championship in Japan, and he’s likely to tailor the rest of his schedule around what gives him the best chances of closing in on Nicklaus’ all-time record.

Instead of betting him to win “a major” I would bet him individually at both the Masters and The Open.
