Tiger (35-1) not worth wager
Schauffele (18-1) far better PGA long shot
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.”
