PGA Golf Betting Tips & Betting Offers: Grant Thornton Invitational
Will Jackson
The PGA Tour brings together some of the biggest names in golf for a unique team event this week.
Tiburon Golf Club in Naples, Florida will stage the 16 mixed team event which will see the stars of the PGA and LPGA Tour tee it up.
After Scottie Scheffler romped to a six-shot victory in the Hero World Challenge last weekend, his work is now done for the year and he can take an early Christmas break with his family.
But there is plenty of star power on show this week, and that includes the irresistible pan-American pairing of Lexi Thompson and Rickie Fowler.
Last year was the inaugural edition of the team event, and I think it will make for compelling viewing once again so I have picked out a couple of golf betting tips for you to mull over ahead of the first tee shot on Thursday, plus the top golf betting offers from the best golf betting sites.
PGA Golf Betting Tips - Grant Thornton Invitational
Nelly Korda and Tony Finau to get over the line
Last year, Nelly Korda and Tony Finau gave a good showing at the Grant Thornton Invitational, coming home in T4.
A score of -23 saw them finish three shots adrift of the champions Lydia Ko and Jason Day. Nevertheless, it was still a good payday for both as they shared a cheque for £182,000.
Korda is coming off the back of a brilliant campaign where she won seven times on the LPGA Tour, and that included a major.
Finau, meanwhile, had five top-10s, and he was T3 at the US Open, so he will be full of confidence.
The format of this three-round competition which includes a Scramble and Foursomes, should play to the strengths of both players.
Finau and Korda hold the 18-hole record on this course which they set in the first round 12 months ago.
I’ve got a good feeling about them. To kick off my golf betting tips, I like the look of the 11/2 price offered by Paddy Power for Finau and Korda to prevail this weekend.
Matthieu Pavon and Celine Boutier to be in contention on Sunday
Mathieu Pavon and Celine Boutier who represented France at the Olympics over the summer both had solid campaigns.
Indeed, they both had four top-10 finishes this term, and for Pavon, his breakthrough moment came when he clinched his first Tour title at the Farmers Insurance Open.
Although Boutier was near the bottom of the pile when she paired up with Harris English last year, she could have more joy this time around with her compatriot.
While I have tipped Finau and Korda to enter the winner’s circle, I think Pavon and Boutier could be in the final pairing on Sunday. If you are tempted by that, bet365 is carrying juicy odds of 15/2.
