I don't usually bet Golf, but after looking at some lines today on 5Dimes I pulled the trigger on Matsuyama -.5 over Koepka @ -120 for Round 2. It forced me to make a play on it. Matsuyama is the defending champion in this tourney and a legit top golfer. How do you guys do at betting golf?

I lay a lot of players "to win the tournament" at exchanges 1 or 2 days into a tournament after checking form etc. Very low odds so win rate of 95%+, so small gains. A loss hurts but rarely happens (only once so far).Comment -
Back in the Tiger days betting full tournaments was straight money. There is no dominate golfer anymore that you could say has a way better chance to win on a given week so I would say the value is in straight matchups on a weekly basis. Picking a single golfer to win a tournament is like throwing a dart at a penny from 10 yards away imo. Although for the majors it is always fun to pick a heavy underdog that is playing well especially when it comes to the British Open.Comment -

Maybe, but you damn sure won't see an outcome determined by a flag-throwing official.Comment -
I rarely look at matchups

I'm not talking about betting the tourney, just round by round matchups.Comment
