Golf Betting Markets

Wagering on golf shares similarities with betting on horse racing, as both sports primarily focus on a single market with numerous contenders. The majority of golf bettors place their golf free bets on the outright winner of a tournament, either as a win single or an each-way bet, much like in horse racing. However, there is an array of additional markets available in golf betting. Punters can use their golf free bets to back the leader at the conclusion of rounds 1, 2, or 3, the victor of a specific two-ball or three-ball matchup, the final winning score, the overall margin of triumph, 72-hole match bets, and a variety of player-specific specials. Some other betting markets include:

• Will a hole in one occur?
• Will an albatross be scored?
• Top 5 finishers
• Winning player's nationality
• Top European player
• Top American player

Betting on Golf Majors

The four major golf tournaments garner the most attention and, as a result, the highest number of golf free bets each year. The Masters, The US Open, The Open, and The US PGA Championships are the events that every professional golfer aspires to have on their resume, with the world's top players carefully planning their schedules to be in peak form for these competitions. Taking place in April at Augusta, The Masters is the inaugural Major of the season. The victor receives the iconic green jacket, which is presented by the previous year's champion. Although The Open Championship is the only Major held outside the USA, it undoubtedly boasts the most prestige. Deeply rooted in golf's history, The Open has seen all the game's legends etch their names on the famed Claret Jug. The Open Championship is indisputably the most popular golf betting event of the season.    

Golf Betting

Aside from the four Majors, numerous other golf events offer opportunities for bettors to utilize their golf free bets. The European Tour's Race to Dubai involves weekly shifts in rankings, as tournament winners climb the money list and displace others. Meanwhile, in the United States, the FedEx Cup sees similar fluctuations in positions throughout the season. During Ryder Cup years, bettors can also use their golf free bets to predict which players will join the US or European teams. While team captains have the option to select a few players, the majority of each team comprises the best performers leading up to the event. Once the Ryder Cup begins, bettors can wager on everything from the overall winner to the victor of each individual four-ball, foursomes, or singles match.    

Types of Golf Betting Options: A Comprehensive Guide

Golf is a popular sport for betting enthusiasts due to the variety of available markets and opportunities for analysis. Here are some of the main golf betting options that may interest both beginners and experienced bettors:

1. Tournament Winner Bet: This is the most common type of golf bet, where you wager on the player who you think will win the tournament. Due to the large number of participants, odds can be high, but picking a winner can be challenging.
2. Top-5, Top-10, or Top-20 Finish Bet: Instead of betting on the tournament winner, you can bet on a specific player finishing within the top positions. This can be a less risky option, though with lower odds.
3. Best Player by Continent or Country Bet: Here, you bet on who will be the best player from a particular country or continent, such as the top European or American player in the tournament.
4. Matchup Bets: In golf, you can bet on which of two or three players will have the better score during a single round or throughout the entire tournament. This allows for direct comparison between participants, which can simplify analysis and bet selection.
5. Special Event Bets: Golf features a number of interesting events to bet on, such as the presence or absence of a hole-in-one or an albatross (three strokes below par) during the tournament.
6. Total Score Bet: You can bet on what the winner's total score will be, or whether it will be above or below a certain value offered by the bookmaker.
7. Leader After Each Round Bet: You can bet on who will be leading after the first, second, or third round of the tournament.
