Las Vegas, Nev. (Dec. 9, 2014)–Whether you’re a Las Vegas resident or visiting our city, if you’re looking for that perfect golf bet, here it is: Betting if your favorite will win a major during the 2014-15 season. That’s four bets for the price of one. And with names like Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Jordan Spieth and many more, the choices and the odds are as big as the tournament fields and Rory McIlroy is the favorite in odds released by GolfOdds.com.–By Bill Bowman, Odds by Jeff Sherman.
Rory McIlroy at 3-2 odds, Tiger Woods at 2-1, and Jordan Spieth at 4-1 head the list which includes 200 golfers. It’s a simple bet, with four chances to cash in–The Masters, U.S. Open, British Open and the PGA Championship. If your golfer wins any of those four tournaments, you win. (Sorry, if your golfer wins more than once, you still only win one bet).
Golfers with Las Vegas ties are all over the betting board. Those with some of the best odds include Adam Scott (7-2), Ryan Moore (20-1), Kevin Na (30-1) and Charley Hoffman (40-1).
“This has been very popular over the years, especially for out-of-towners so they have action over the entire season,” said Jeff Sherman, assistant director of the Westgate Superbook and founder of GolfOdds.com. “The young up and comers (like Spieth, Fowler, Kirk, Koepka) are very popular each year and it’s usually on these golfers that large odds adjustments are made if they live up to their potential. Last year, Spieth was 100-1 for the Masters (25-1 for a major) and he is now 15-1 for the Masters (4-1 for a major), so bettors try to get them before their potential is seen.”
So get ready for the 2014-15 season by picking your favorite golfer or golfers (don’t worry, they’re in alphabetical order to help) and sit back and take in all the action.
