Latest Golf Betting Tips
We've got four tips this week for the RBC Canadian Open from our resident golf expert, Ben Smith.
RBC Canadian Open Betting Tips
Heavy favourite Scottie Scheffler justified his odds with a dominant victory at the Memorial Tournament last week. This time, it's Rory McIlroy who leads the way as the short-priced market leader at the Canadian Open.
McIlroy, a two-time winner of this event, will tee it up at a new venue this year as the competition heads to TPC Toronto. The 7,389-yard layout places a premium on driving distance, an area that should play to the strengths of the Masters champion.
Fellow Ryder Cup star Ludvig Aberg is next in the betting, and he also commands respect after a field-leading tee-to-green performance on Sunday at Muirfield Village.
Winner - Taylor Pendrith (Each-Way) (6 places)
McIlroy and Aberg are both tempting propositions, but they may each have an eye on next week’s US Open, while for the likes of Taylor Pendrith, winning this tournament would be a dream come true.
The Ontario-born big-hitter has plenty of experience playing the North Course, and came close to winning the Osprey Valley Open there in 2019 on the PGA Tour Canada.
Pendrith gained over seven strokes on approach last week, second only to Scheffler. It was his second outstanding ball-striking display on the spin, having delivered a T5 at the PGA Championship in his previous start.
He has a modest Canadian Open record, but Pendrith is in peak form and can emulate compatriot Nick Taylor’s triumph from two years ago.
Winner Kurt Kitayama (Each-Way) (6 places)
All signs point to TPC Toronto being a bomber’s paradise, which makes Kurt Kitayama worth a look. He ranks sixth on the PGA Tour for length off the tee, and his short game has improved significantly in recent weeks.
Kitayama gave his best tee-to-green effort of 2025 when finishing T5 at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson last month. It was his chipping and putting that helped him towards a respectable T22 at Colonial last time out, despite a poor final round.
66/1 is a generous price in this field for a man who once triumphed at the lengthy, challenging Bay Hill.
Winner - Jake Knapp (Each-Way) (5 places)
Jake Knapp was in contention at the aforementioned Osprey Valley Open at TPC Toronto in 2019, losing out to Paul Barjon.
The 31-year-old missed the cut at the Charles Schwab Challenge, but I’m not too concerned about that as the tight fairways at Colonial neutralise Knapp’s power advantage.
He had gained off the tee in his three previous regular PGA Tour starts, and his iron play has been good enough more often than not this season.
The greens here feature a mix of Bentgrass with Poa Annua, the latter of which is by far Knapp’s best surface. Hopefully, he can get something going with the flat stick and outrun his big odds.
First-Round Leader: Keith Mitchell (Each-Way) (6 places)
It is only Keith Mitchell’s inability to put together four quality rounds in succession that has held him back from multiple titles over the last two years.
All statistics suggest the American stands a great chance this week, but until he delivers on a Sunday while in contention, the first-round leader market remains the best way to get him on side.
Mitchell leads the PGA Tour in first-round scoring for 2025. He has held at least a share of the lead after 18 holes in four of his last seven individual events.

PGA Tour Golf Betting Tips
Golf betting tips can give you an edge when it comes to golf betting on the PGA Tour, where value can be found beyond just backing the biggest names each week.
Smart golf betting isn’t just about form. Course history, weather, tee times, and even player confidence all play a role in performance. The key is recognising patterns and understanding when the odds don’t quite reflect reality.
Using strokes gained data, approach play stats, and putting performance on different greens helps shape more accurate golf betting tips. Some players thrive on certain layouts or in specific conditions, and identifying those trends is what separates sharp bets from blind punts.
Whether you’re backing a tournament winner, a top 10 finish, or a head-to-head, golf betting is as much about timing and detail as it is about instinct—and the best tips blend both to find the value others miss.

Golf Betting Markets
Golf betting offers a wide variety of markets, making it an exciting sport for punters looking to test their knowledge and intuition. Whether you’re a casual bettor or a seasoned pro, there’s something for everyone when it comes to golf betting.
We will of course offer golf betting tips across all of these markets - not necessarily at the same time - but just so you know what we're talking about in our golf betting tips, here is a little explainer of the main betting markets in golf.
Outright Winner
The outright winner market is the most straightforward and popular form of golf betting. In this market, punters place wagers on the golfer they believe will win a particular tournament. With a large field of participants, the odds are often generous, providing the potential for high payouts.
This type of golf betting requires thorough research - which we will provide in our golf betting tips - including player form, course suitability, recent injuries, and weather conditions. Major tournaments like The Masters, The Open Championship, and the Ryder Cup attract heavy interest in outright winner bets, making it a key focus for both casual and seasoned golf bettors and should feature in all of our golf betting tips.
Each-Way Betting
Each-way betting is a popular option within golf betting, particularly when betting on large tournaments with big fields. This market allows punters to split their stake into two parts: one backing the golfer to win outright, and the other backing them to place within a certain range (e.g., top 5, top 10, or top 20).
If the player finishes within the specified range, the bettor receives a payout, albeit at reduced odds. This form of golf betting provides a safer approach, especially when wagering on consistent performers who may not win outright but regularly place high in tournaments.
Top 5/10/20 Finish
The top 5/10/20 finish market offers a more conservative approach to golf betting. Instead of predicting the outright winner, bettors wager on whether a player will finish within a certain placement range, such as the top 5, top 10, or top 20.
This market appeals to those looking for steadier returns, as it is generally easier to predict strong performers who frequently place well rather than win outright. In golf betting, this market is particularly popular for those betting on consistent golfers who may lack the killer instinct to secure a victory but often finish high on the leaderboard.
Head-to-Head Matchups
Head-to-head matchups are a straightforward and exciting market within golf betting. Instead of betting on the overall tournament winner, punters wager on which of two selected golfers will perform better over a single round or an entire event. This type of golf betting is particularly appealing because it reduces the complexity of analyzing an entire field to just two players.
Bettors can compare stats like driving accuracy, putting success, and previous head-to-head results. Matchups are especially popular during major tournaments, where golfers’ performances are under intense scrutiny and individual rivalries often emerge.
First-Round Leader
The first-round leader market is one of the most exciting forms of golf betting, offering instant gratification for those looking for quicker results. Instead of waiting for the entire tournament to conclude, bettors place wagers on which golfer will lead after the first round.
This type of golf betting is often unpredictable but can yield substantial rewards due to the high odds. Researching players known for fast starts or those who excel on particular courses can be advantageous. This market also appeals to bettors who prefer day-by-day betting strategies rather than waiting for the final outcome of a tournament.
Other Golf Betting Markets
So those are the main markets you'll find covered by us in our golf betting tips, but what about the smaller markets?
Be careful, you might not find all of these markets with your choice of online betting site, but if you can then there is plenty of value to be found along with the golf betting tips on offer.
Make or Miss the Cut
This market involves betting on whether a specific golfer will make or miss the cut after the first two rounds of a tournament. It’s a popular option because it provides a result halfway through the event, offering a quicker conclusion than outright betting. Punters often use this market to bet on underdogs or struggling favorites.
Group Betting
In group betting, the bookmaker selects a small group of golfers (usually four to six), and you wager on who will perform the best among them over the entire tournament. This market is attractive because it narrows the field to a manageable number of competitors, making it easier to research and analyze.
Nationality Betting
This market allows you to bet on which golfer from a particular country or region will finish highest in a tournament. For example, you might bet on the top American, top European, or top Asian player. It’s especially popular during international events like The Open Championship or the Ryder Cup.
Hole-in-One Betting
This is a specific type of prop bet where you wager on whether there will be a hole-in-one during a particular tournament. Due to the rarity of a hole-in-one, the odds are often attractive. Alternatively, you can bet on whether a specific player will achieve one.
Winning Margin
In this market, you predict the margin by which a golfer will win a tournament, such as by one stroke, two strokes, or by a playoff. This type of golf betting can offer high odds and adds an extra layer of excitement when the tournament is tightly contested.
2-Ball & 3-Ball Betting
This market involves betting on the best score between two or three grouped golfers over a single round. 2-Ball betting is common during the weekend rounds when golfers are paired in twos, while 3-Ball betting is more common in the early rounds.
