The Many Ways to Bet on Golf

Betting on golf can be a thrilling experience. Imagine how you will be feeling when your selection has a putt to win the title. There are so many different ways to bet on golf, so let’s take a look at some of them.

You can bet on all the major events that take place on the golfing calendar. That includes ‘The Match’ between Bryson de Chambeau and Brooks Koepka on November 26.

One bonus with golf is the length of a tournament. One bet could last four days. Even if your selection for a tournament does get off to a bad start, there’s still time for them to make a few birdies and get back into contention. Your first target is making the cut.

That is a bit nervy though but again, imagine how you’ll be cheering your player on if they need to birdie the 18^th to make it to the weekend. There are actually odds on players to make the cut or not to do so. Beating the cut therefore or the exact opposite and making a mess and missing it can win you some cash.

A player that is always on the leaderboard ensures four days of great fun following the tournament. It’s not just about choosing a player to win a tournament though. There are each-way places available and usually this covers the first five places. It could be more for the Majors. Your selection could finish fifth and ten shots off the winner but a return and a profit is definitely possible.

That’s another advantage in betting on golf with William Hill enhanced odds offer for UK customers. The bookmaker improved odds on several golf markets last week. When it comes to outright betting, the odds available are very tasty indeed. They could be as high as 22/1, so backing the favourite each-way would get you a good win even if only placed. Of course, the odds are so high because most tournaments live up to the name ‘Open.’

It is possible to bet on individual players and how high they will finish. For example, a bet on Dustin Johnson to finish in the top 5, 10 or 20.  There are so many more markets that you can bet on in this sport and even some of the players love a gamble.

Some of the markets aren’t that easy to get winners on though. For example, a bet on who will be the leader after the first round.  This can have even higher odds, even as high as 33/1 the field. It’s so hazardous because anyone could get the first-round lead but not be good enough to maintain that form.

Shorter odds (aka more chance of winning) can be seen for the individual three-balls or two-balls. You can bet on which player will get the best score.  Tournaments have players from all over the world taking part. It is possible to bet on the top American, Asian, Australian, British player etc. It’s a tournament within a tournament but another chance to get a win.

There’s match betting between selected players. Dustin Johnson might be up against Brooks Koepka for example. Johnson might have a bad week but as long as Koepka does even worse, you’ll get a win.

There are plenty more markets available, so remember when you bet on golf, it’s not just about who wins the tournament.
