How to Bet on the PGA Championship
Pre-tournament odds: Betting on PGA Championship pre-tournament odds can provide great value. By placing bets before the competition begins, bettors have the opportunity to wager on longshots with high potential payouts, like Phil Mickelson in 2021. These odds tend to be more favorable than the odds during the tournament.
Research and analysis: Conduct thorough research and analysis before placing pre-tournament bets. Consider factors such as players’ recent performances, course suitability, statistics like strokes gained in driving, approach, and putting, as well as betting trends and historical data. This information will help you make informed decisions and identify potential contenders.
Live betting: Live betting during the PGA Championship allows for more flexibility and can be profitable. If your early week bets fail to make the cut or perform well, you can still find success by wagering on players during the tournament. Pay attention to the live leaderboard, scores, and player performance to identify players who are gaining momentum and moving up the rankings.
In-play analysis: Utilize the breaks between rounds to analyze statistics and betting trends. Assess the performance of players after each round and use this information to inform your in-play bets. Look for players who are excelling in key areas such as driving, approach shots, and putting, as these skills are often crucial in major championships.
Timing is key: Identify players who have the potential to make a significant move up the leaderboard on Saturday or Sunday. Betting on these players early during the tournament can result in higher payouts if they perform well. However, be mindful of odds fluctuations and make timely decisions to maximize your betting opportunities.
Overall, combining pre-tournament bets for long shots and strategic live betting based on real-time analysis can enhance your chances of success when betting on PGA golf tournaments like the PGA Championship.
