The Players Championship Bookmakers Offers 2018

It is that time of the year when we return to Sawgrass for what is commonly known as the 5th major on the golfing circuit. The Players Championship is a great event on the PGA Tour and throws up many betting opportunities for those that like a bet on golf. Whether you are picking the favorite who in this case is Jason Day (14/1 most bookies) after his win last week at the Wells Fargo Championship, or the rank outsider at 1,000/1 you can find an offer right for you.

We have listed the top betting offers for The Players this week, but as a bonus, we have also have offers for The Rocco Forte Open being held at Verdura GC, Agrigento, Sicily, Italy from the European Tour.

So why is The Players so popular amongst the golfing elite. Well, the prize money could be a big factor with $11,000,000 on offer as a total prize fund, with almost $2,000,000 to the winner. That and the fact it is on the iconic TPC Sawgrass golf course with the intimidating wedge/9 iron into the now infamous 17th island green. it all adds up to one of the most exciting tournaments on the PGA Tour calendar.

Last years winner was a bit of a surprise as at the time world ranked number 73 Si Woo Kim fended off the likes of Louis Oosthuizen and Poulter to win by three strokes in what proved to be very demanding weather conditions. This year though looking at the betting odds looks to be one of the most open Championships in recent years as most of the top ranked players can boast some decent form arriving here. Spieth is the second fav at 16/1 along with good mate Justin Thomas. Then it is Rory Mcilroy although his odds are fluctuating between 12’s and 16/1. World number one is priced up at 18/1, then it is Rickie Fowler at 20/1

So who could win this year’s PGA Championship? Well in our eyes a previous winner of this tournament stands out. Phil Mickelson has been in sublime form this year and will be looking to add this year’s title to the one he won in 2007. He is freely available at most bookies at odds of 33/1. Already a winner at the World Golf Championships-Mexico Championship in April his 5th last week shows he is still bang in form. He is our likely winner at decent odds.

But I digress it is time for our offers on this magnificent tournament.

As we promised here are the betting offers for the European Tour event in Sicily, The Rocco Forte Open. As you can see there is not a lot and this is due to the fact that there is such a big tournament in America. But it is still a cracking offer from Boyelsports.
