Golf Betting

talkSPORT BET offers many golf betting markets, and this page takes you through everything you need to know, from the best betting options for golf to the top events on the sporting calendar for golf wagers.  
 
Golf is one of the most popular sports in the world, with the top players competing on the PGA, LIV Golf, and DP World Tours throughout the season.  

Golf differs from many other major sports, as it’s an individual endeavour with no standardised playing area and 18 unique layouts for each hole. This adds an element of surprise to each golf tournament, which is ideal for sports betting.  

Discover the different ways you can bet on golf with access to competitive odds and extensive markets today at talkSPORT BET. 

To bet on golf, create your account at talkSPORT BET in seconds. Click “Sign Up,” follow the prompts, and complete the simple registration form before depositing cash to fund your wagers.  

With money in your account, you can then check the latest markets and odds for upcoming tournaments at the top of this page.  

There are several ways to bet on golf, and at talkSPORT BET, we offer markets for every major tournament and top-tier events on the PGA Tour, LIV Tour, DP World Tour, and Korn Ferry Tour, covering all bases.  

Here are the most popular markets for golf betting:  

Outright Betting 

Outright betting is extremely popular among golf fans. You can pick the winner of a specific tournament from a 100+ field and watch as your favourite players battle it out over 72 holes.  

You can back the outright winner of each major championship and every big event on the PGA Tour, as players compete for FedEx Cup points and prize money.  

Each-Way Betting 

If you can’t pick the winner of an upcoming golf tournament, consider an each-way bet instead. This is a bet on a player finishing in one of the top positions (often the top five).  

Head-To-Head Betting 

Rather than betting on a golfer to beat the entire field, you can back any player to outscore a specific opponent in a tournament. For instance, you could back Rory McIlroy to shoot a lower score than Scottie Scheffler in the Masters at Augusta National.  

Live Betting 

You can also wait for a tournament to begin before placing your bets. In-play wagering is highly popular among golf bettors. You can bet on things such as how a player will score on the next hole (par, bogey, birdie, etc.) and whether a top pro will nail a hole-in-one.  

Golf Tours & Tournaments Covered at talkSPORT BET  

There are four major golf championships held throughout the year: The Masters, the US PGA Championship, the US Open, and the Open Championship.  

The Ryder Cup and Solheim Cup are biennial team events, featuring male and female players, respectively, that pit the 12 best players from America and Europe against each other. 

While the PGA Tour remains the pinnacle of the sport and the number one market for fans, the breakaway LIV Golf Tour is also gaining popularity among golf bettors, with some of the biggest names in the world, such as Bryson DeChambeau, now competing on the Saudi-backed tour.    

At talkSPORT BET, we also offer betting options for tournaments on the DP World Tour (formerly the European Tour), and the Korn Ferry Tour in the United States of America.  

Introducing the Majors 

The four majors are the most popular golf events to bet on, and a golfer’s legacy is defined by how they finish in the following tournaments:  

The Masters  

The Masters is the first major of the year, and it takes place in April. It is an invitational tournament hosted at Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia. Regarded by most as the truest test of golf, the Masters is the tournament that most pros want to win.  

The PGA Championship 

The US PGA Championship takes place in May. It is hosted by the PGA of America and is held at various courses. It is the only major golf tournament exclusively for professional players, with amateurs not permitted to enter.  

The US Open  

The US Open is the third major of the year. It is often considered the most difficult of all majors, hosted at extremely long and challenging courses. It also has the richest purse of all major golf tournaments at over $21,000,000.  

The Open Championship  

The final major of the summer is the Open Championship. It is the oldest golf tournament in the world and is played at a rotation of links courses along the British coast.  

Introducing the Team Tournaments  

While golf is primarily an individual sport, you can also bet on several high-profile team events to keep things interesting:  

The Ryder Cup  

Held every two years, the Ryder Cup is a team tournament that pits the 12 best European golfers against the top American players. The Ryder Cup switches between courses in Europe and the United States of America, with each continent hosting the tournament in four-year cycles.  

The Solheim Cup  

The Solheim Cup brings together the best female golfers from Europe and the USA to compete, just like in the Ryder Cup. It is usually held every two years.
