How to bet on two golfers in a golf tournament?

Question

I want to place a golf bet on two players, but have no idea how, to place such a bet in golf. Can you help me in this regard.

Answer 1

Bet on two golfers heads up – for the most part, a golf tournament doesn’t feature any “head to head” matchups. It’s every golfer for themselves and the lowest score wins. A lot of times, Sportsbooks will set lines between some of the top golfers and allow you to bet on them. This acts similar to a spread or Moneyline bet in other sports. Assume that Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods were both in the tournament. There may be a line out there that says, “Phil Mickelson +150 vs. Tiger Woods –170 for the tournament”. You would then be wagering on which of these golfers performed better. Most times Sportsbooks will open up these types of bets on a round by round basis as well. So a bet like the one above could be just for round 2.

These are really the only two forms of golf betting that are popular. There are typically no over/under bets or prop bets in the game of golf.
