Golf betting tips for The Players Championship (in more detail):
Rory McIlroy:
To win outright (4 points win @ 8/1 with William Hill).
Current form (last 5 starts): 4 – 1 – T32 – T29 – T2.
Tournament form (last 5 starts): MC – 1 – No Event – MC – T33.
Reasons to believe – Rory McIlroy:
“Simply put, its Rory. Say no more. Former winner here in 2019. Finished T2 last week and that was after a couple of average weeks since returning to the US. If his putting can just pick up a little, he will be very hard to beat.” – ParUp Golf’s resident tipster ‘Big Dal’ on why he can win.
Max Homa:
Each-way (1 point e/w @ 18/1 with William Hill – 9 places, 1/5 odds).
Current form (last 5 starts): T3 – 1 – T39 – 2 – T14.
Tournament form (last 5 starts): DNP – DNP – No Event – MC – T13.
Reasons to believe – Max Homa:
“In great form at the moment and T13 here last year shows he can play nicely round TPC Sawgrass. Hopefully the good forms continues and he can put himself in contention and win a big event” – ParUp Golf’s resident tipster ‘Big Dal’ on why he can win.
Justin Thomas:
Each-way (1 point e/w @ 18/1 with William Hill – 9 places, 1/5 odds).
Current form (last 5 starts): T25 – T25 – 4 – T20 – T21.
Tournament form (last 5 starts): T11 – T35 – No Event – 1 – T33.
Reasons to believe – Justin Thomas:
“Justin has been playing well without really troubling the leaderboard, with only 1 top 10 finish in his last 5 starts. He is at a course he knows well, with fond memories following his win here in 2021, so hopefully that may help take the leap forward and up the leaderboard.” – ParUp Golf’s resident tipster ‘Big Dal’ on why he can win.
Keegan Bradley:
Each-way (1 point e/w @ 40/1 with William Hill – 9 places, 1/5 odds).
Current form (last 5 starts): MC – 2 – T20 – MC – T10.
Tournament form (last 5 starts): T7 – T16 – No Event – T29 – 5.
Reasons to believe – Keegan Bradley:
“Keegan loves it here and is playing great golf at the moment. The past few years his putter has let him down, but this is much improved now, so he has every chance and I think he is slightly overpriced at 40/1.” – ParUp Golf’s resident tipster ‘Big Dal’ on why he can win.
Big Dal’s, big price outsider – Rickie Fowler:
Each-way (1 point e/w @ 50/1 with William Hill – 9 places, 1/5 odds).
Current form (last 5 starts): T54 – T11 – T10 – T20 – T31.
Tournament form (last 5 starts): MC – T47 – No Event – MC – DNP.
Reasons to believe – Rickie Fowler:
“Fowler was a player I had earmarked at the start of the season as someone who could win at a big price. The form has been good so far this season, with x5 cuts made in a row now and he is also a former winner here. Hopefully for the game of golf, Rickie can get back to winning ways this week.” – ParUp Golf’s resident tipster ‘Big Dal’ on why he can win.
