One of the top tournaments on the PGA Tour takes place starting this Thursday, Feb. 7 when golfers head to Northern California with 2019 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am betting lives on the line. Only two golfers offer less than quadruple-digit odds - Dustin Johnson and Jason Day. Both figure to have a shot to win on Sunday, but just choosing a single golfer from the pool of all available options won’t lead to many cashed tickets. It’s best to break up [...]
The PGA pros move on to Torrey Pines Golf Course and southern California for the 2019 Farmer’s Insurance Open starting January 24th through January 27th. A majority of the top pros are competing in the same tournament for the first time in 2019, and Torrey Pines also brings out the big, long hitters.

Thirty players will be knocked out of next week’s third tournament, the BMW Championship, but it’s likely that the winner will come from players who are all but certain of being around next week.

by Alastair Bull For the final golf major of the year, the question for most punters is the same as it was for the previous two: what chance does Tiger Woods have? Well according to the oddsmakers, Woods has +1600 odds win the 2018 PGA Championship, making him one of the top-5 choices on the market.
