It’s happened before this year, and it’s really nice when it does. The tournament goes to a play-off, and we have each golfer involved. All bases are covered. We’re going to have a winner.
And what a play-off it was, as Bryson De Chambeau (Golf Insider, 20/1) and Patrick Cantlay (Golf Insider, 25/1) battled it out over six extra holes to decide the winner. I didn’t watch, but simply read about it all this morning. And so it was that Golf Insider stopped the rot and found a winner after what feels like a very long time since the last one. But such is the nature of golf betting, and if we’re not prepared to endure the barren spells, we really shouldn’t be betting on golf at all.
Elsewhere and there was nothing going for PGA Profit, and Weekly Golf Value found the most meagre of returns by finding one to place in Europe, but with a book paying out on seven places, finishing tied 7th with what seemed like about 40 other golfers meant the pay out didn’t cover the initial stake.
From next week – as we move into a new month – I’ll be backing the PGA Profit European Tour picks, as mentioned in last week’s post. Let’s see what that brings.
