PGA Tour Betting - Furyk is the Favorite to win The Greenbrier Classic, but Kuchar and Watney Look Tough

Jim Furyk is the favorite to win this week’s Greenbrier Classic but both Matt Kuchar and Nick Watney look like the fellas that golf betting fans might want to consider wagering on because Watney’s and Kuchar’s games, control off the tee and great putting, will serve them well on The Old White Course.

Furyk’s not bad with his control off the tee and putting either but Fury is a +1400 chalk, and although his golf odds are good, he might not deserve a wager at even those north of +1000 golfing odds.

Do the odds in the sportsbook justify a wager on either Matt Kuchar or Nick Watney?

To Win

Best Golf Bet A: Nick Watney +2000

His 12th ranking in birdie average and 8th in birdies or better on par 4’s should serve him very well on The Old White Course.

Since his 76th place finish at the U.S. Open, Watney’s been very good with a 7th at the AT&T National and a 7th at the British Open Championship (the Open Championship).

He looks ready to actually win a tournament soon. Why not this week with Phil and Tiger on the bench and Rory, Paddy and Graeme teeing it off in Ireland?

Best Golf Bet B: Matt Kuchar +1800

Kuchar is ranked #1 in all-around-ranking. I don’t understand why he isn’t +1400 in this tournament instead of Fury.

Hey, I’m not complaining because +1800 represents excellent value on a golfer like Kuchar in a tournament like this.

He’s overdue for a victory after three Top 5 finishes in his last four tournaments including a 4th in the RBC Canadian Open in his last. Besides the #1 rankings, Matt’s also ranked 14th in greens hit and 7th in adjusted scoring average.

Best Underdog Golf Bet: Bendan De Jonge +4000

40 to 1 are very good golf odds on the man ranked first in birdies on the PGA Tour.

De Jonge also finished 9th at the Travelers Championship, 7th at the John Deere Classic and 13th at the RBC Canadian Open in 3 out of the last 4 tournaments he’s played.

Brendan could be the surprise man to beat going into Sunday as he has played 9 straight rounds under par golf. He’s hot right now.

Others To Consider

Jeff Overton +2200 - - His 10th ranking in birdies or better on par 3’s should set him up well for The Old White Course. He also finished 11th at the British Open recently.

Ricky Barnes +3000 - - He hasn’t been playing all that well lately but he is ranked 2nd in total birdies on the PGA Tour and 14th in par 4 birdies or better.

JB Holmes +3000 - - He followed up his 5th place finish at the AT&T National with a terrific 14th place finish at the British Open.

Although more of a distance guy, he’s playing well enough to consider for the victory on this short course because of his recent form. The 30 to 1 golf odds help too!
