    Seems like these 3 are always at the top at majors. Should we just blindly bet them outright?

    Do I even need to do research... this course is made for Rahm, Koepka always contends and Louie shows up in majors.

    I’ve been researching players & handicapping models like never before for a good week now on this tournament & all 3 of those players are not on my radar.

      Why? Rahm loves link courses and has finished top 5 in like five straight events.

        Winning back to back Major Championships is very rare in the history of Golf. Also if your not Tiger Woods winning as the favorite in the field is not a favorable bet.

              Koepka's game is suited more for US Opens than British.

                Schauffele, Spieth, Fleetwood better choices in my opinion.

                      Fleetwood won't win a major.

                      JT is trying a new putter because he can't putt.

                            Why won’t he win a major ?

                              Louis Oost?..besides the 2010 Open, he has 0 PGA wins despite those 5 2nd place finishes at Majors..just proves he's the ultimate cokk tease.

                                2nd place the last 2 majors.

                                Blind bet.

                                      Not in majors. The same players usually show up.

                                      Would anyone be shocked to see these 3 near the top again?

                                            Koepka not winning anymore

                                            He’s very easy to eliminate he might come in the top 10 but he can’t win he has kind of turned into a clown

                                              So we should all bet Koepka?

                                              Since 2017 Koepka in all majors -84 and next best is -23.

                                              I hate the guy but won't be surprised if he wins.

                                                -Lowry
                                                -Molinari

                                                Only the bottom couple are no names.
                                                Rahm, Matsuyama, Bryson, Reed, Morikawa and JT are all elite and yet they all only have one major to their name. And about 5-10 more elite players like Rory and Speith that aren't on this list because they haven't won a major in years. That's how deep golf is now. Very hard to be profitable picking outright winners, I gave up on it years ago.

                                                  What are the odds for a Rahm top 20, top 10, top 5, top 3? Thanks

                                                    Rahm top 10 -110

                                                    Only value is betting him to win.

                                                      Would be surprised if some random wins. Spieth possibly. Rory no.

                                                          Top 10 looks like a winner to me. Probably will put 3 units on that, 1.5 units top 5, and .75 unit on him to win it all

                                                                So we are going to not include Rory, Mickelson and Els the 3 previous?

                                                                If you want to take a long shot go ahead, I'll take some of the more consistent players if I'm putting decent chunks of money on it.

This event has been known to provide some runaway winners. Those that stay in the fairways at a high % are thought to have an edge. Its a major thus should be interesting.

This event has been known to provide some runaway winners. Those that stay in the fairways at a high % are thought to have an edge. Its a major thus should be interesting.

Hughes's game may fit the course. Its a educational investment should I choice to invest in head to head matchups later in the tournament. I'm not expecting to win. Its action.
