Should I bet on a golfer to win the tournament?

Question

I am a novice golf bettor and desperately seeking expert advice on golf tournament betting. Can you help me in this regard?

Answer 1

Bet on a golfer to win the tournament – the most common form of golf betting happens before the tournament begins. Odds are placed on every golfer (or nearly every) in the field. At this point you can choose which golfer you think will win the tournament. For example, if Phil Mickelson was 15/1 to win the tournament, you could wager $10 and if he won the tournament you would win $150.
