Bet the Favorites to Come Out on Top

Though Mickelson defeated Woods in the first match in November of 2018, it’s hard to expect a repeat performance. Tiger has had months off to rest his nagging injuries, he’s a member at the Medalist and the personal pride to get back at lefty will be immense, not to mention the fact that Mickelson hasn’t played this course before.

The additional key factor is that Tiger’s partner Manning plays to a better handicap, with his at 6.4 compared to Tom Brady’s 8.1. While that doesn’t represent a massive advantage, just look at his action on this shot at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, where he and partner Luke Donald finished T-9th in February.

Any bit of an edge heading into the round is important, and in this case, don’t overthink it. The favorites are the favorites for a reason.

Pick: Tiger Woods/Peyton Manning Win (-186)

Someone Will Hole a Shot From off Green

When looking over that lengthy list of props you can lay a wager on, one that sticks out with pretty good value is someone holing a shot from off the green at +260 odds.

Those are pretty juicy, especially due to the potential fireworks.

The hole-out doesn’t even have to be a super long shot, it could simply be a player draining a putt from the fringe.

Between two Hall-of-Fame golfers and two Hall-of-Fame football players who are single digit handicaps, bet on someone coming up clutch.

Pick: Either team to hole a shot from off the green (+260)

Bet Manning to Hit First Fairway

Despite the fact that Manning will surely be nervous on the first tee given the magnitude of the match, he’s playing with Tiger who almost assuredly will hit the first fairway, given that it’s a straight forward par 4.

This will free up Peyton, who’s had quite a few years to hone his golf game in retirement.

What better way to start the round off strong and try to earn back some bragging rights from Brady, who has four more Lombardi trophies than Peyton in his closet?
