Tiger (35-1) not worth wager

Schauffele (18-1) far better PGA long shot

- By Todd Dewey Las Vegas Review-journal

Tiger Woods has attracted ample support from bettors virtually his entire career, especially at majors. 10-1 10-1 12-1 14-1 16-1 16-1 20-1 25-1 25-1 35-1 35-1 35-1 40-1 40-1 50-1 50-1 50-1 50-1 50-1 50-1

Jason Day, 48-1 (at Circa)

“It’s been a lean two-plus years for former world No. 1 Day,” Reynolds said. “But three straight top-seven finishes at the Workday, Memorial and the WGC event last week may indicate that he’s found something.”

Tony Finau, 50-1 (at Westgate)

Finau has the most top-10 finishes without a win on the PGA Tour since the 2016-17 season, with 30.

“It would almost be fitting if he were to finally break this mark with a win where you’d least expect it,” Reynolds said.

Sergio Garcia, 86-1 (at Circa)

“Sergio is now on the other side of 40, but he has won at least one worldwide event in nine consecutiv­e years dating back to 2011,” Reynolds said.

Shane Lowry, 134-1 (at Circa)

“This is a big price for the No. 26 player in the world who is one of only four men (Koepka, Woods, Gary Woodland) to be a current reigning major champion,” Reynolds said.

Danny Willett, 150-1 (at Westgate)

“Another wind specialist

(like Day), I bet Willett after the Memorial, where he finished 32nd but was fourth after three rounds,” Reynolds said.

Reynolds also placed early bets on the PGA on Bryson DeChambeau at 25-1 (now 16-1) and on Paul Casey at 50-1 (now 125-1).

Here are Sherman’s other best bets:

Matthew Fitzpatric­k, 54-1 (at Circa) Billy Horschel, 108-1 (at Circa)

“During play last week, I got Fitzpatric­k at 80-1 and knew that would be good value.

He’s had two top-1os the last two weeks,” Sherman said. “I played Horschel last week at 50-1 in a good field, and this week his odds are tripled at 150-1. The odds made sense to me.”
