The strongest field of the 2020-21 PGA Tour season to date is at The Concession Golf Club in Bradenton, Florida, this week for the World Golf Championships-Workday Championship. Below, we’ll look for the best value bets in the 2021 WGC Workday Championship odds, with tournament matchups, placings and other PGA Tour prop bet predictions.

2021 WGC-Workday Championship: Matchup bets
Odds provided by BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Wednesday at 9:05 a.m. ET.
Bryson DeChambeau (-115) vs. Tony Finau
We took Finau at plus-money in this head-to-head matchup for The Genesis Invitational and were nicely rewarded as DeChambeau missed the cut and Finau lost in the playoff to Max Homa. Take DeChambeau with equal odds on both sides this week.
DeChambeau is the lone member of this field with meaningful experience at The Concession, having won the 2015 NCAA Championship at this venue. He’s also likely to have a better putting performance on the Bermudagrass greens after losing 1.12 strokes per round with the putter on Poa Annua putting surfaces last week.
Daniel Berger vs. Patrick Reed (-110)
Reed tees it up in North America for the first time since winning the Farmers Insurance Open, while Berger plays his first event since winning the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.
Reed is technically the defending champion, although the event has been renamed and relocated from Mexico. He’ll still be facing the same level of competition and his last win came against a much stronger field than Berger’s.
Dustin Johnson vs. Jon Rahm (-105)
The No. 1 and 3 golfers in the Golfweek rankings, respectively, are pitted together in this week’s marquee matchup. Back the third-ranked Rahm, who won last year’s Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio.
Both Muirfield Village GC and The Concession were designed by Jack Nicklaus and have many similarities despite the different locales.

2021 WGC-Workday Championship: Placing bets
Top 5: Will Zalatoris (+750)
The PGA Tour rookie tied for sixth at the 2020 U.S. Open against most of this week’s top names. He also tied for seventh in a strong field at the Farmers Insurance Open.
He’s averaging 0.95 Strokes Gained: Approach for the 2020-21 season and should fit a Nicklaus course well.

Top 10: Christiaan Bezuidenhout (+700)
Golfweek’s 49th-ranked golfer has yet to win on the PGA Tour, but he has three wins on the European Tour and will go up against a lot of the top international competition from those events in Bradenton. He tied for 20th in the WGC FedEx St. Jude Invitational last summer.
2021 WGC-Workday Championship: First-round leader
Patrick Reed (+3300)
Reed is a value bet to win this event at +2500, but his odds rise even higher for the opening 18-hole lead. He shares just the 12th-best odds with Brooks Koepka.
The 2020 WGC-Mexico Championship winner leads the Tour with a first-round scoring average of 67.17 through six rounds. He has shot at least 2-under in each of those six rounds and opened the Farmers with a 64.
