Golf Odds & Betting Markets

Golf is an incredibly popular sport in Canada, with millions of people across the country both enjoying the action for themselves or watching it through a streaming service. There are plenty of golf events throughout the year, too, giving ample entertainment options for fans and anyone who likes to bet on golf online.

You can find a huge selection of golf betting odds right here at BetVictor, with coverage of all major tournaments that occur. As soon as the event begins, a variety of in-play betting options will also become available, allowing you to wager on the golf event as it happens!

While there are plenty of professional and amateur golfing events that are played every year, some stand out from the crowd due to their prestige, difficulty level, and overall viewership, amongst other factors:

The Masters

The Masters is the most prestigious golf tournament on the calendar, kicking off each major championship season with unmatched tradition and southern charm. Held every April at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia, this spring event transforms the golfing world into a celebration of excellence.

Rory McIlroy won the last iteration of this event, which also marked a historic sixth career Grand Slam, with only Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus, and Tiger Woods achieving this in the past.

Of course, the winner of The Masters also receives the infamous Green Jacket, which has become one of sports' most coveted honours.

The PGA Championship

The PGA Championship is one of golf's four major championships, attracting the world's strongest player fields each year to Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina. This prestigious sports event creates memorable moments that golf fans cherish for decades.

Scottie Scheffler won the 2025 championship title, adding another victory to his impressive career. Xander Schauffele won the title in 2024, with Brooks Koepka lifting the trophy the year prior.

Charlotte offers visitors much more than championship golf during this event, too. The golf course provides a stunning backdrop for world-class play, while the city features excellent dining, entertainment, and cultural attractions, making it a staple in the calendar of any golf fan.

The US Open

Next up is the US Open, another event that offers incredible prestige and bragging rights, alongside a large amount of prize money, to any player who wins it. This tournament creates the most challenging course setups in professional golf, pushing even the world's best players to their limits.

J.J. Spaun won the 2025 US Open, finishing 1 under par. Interestingly, he was the only player to finish under par in the whole event, with Robert MacIntyre finishing in second place on +1. This is just another testament to how hard and intimidating the golf courses used for the US Open can truly be.

The Open Championship

The Open Championship stands as golf's oldest major championship, earning its simple nickname "The Open" among golf fans worldwide. This prestigious golf tournament takes place yearly in Mid-July, and just like with many other top-tier events, the course is changed annually to keep things interesting for both players and fans alike.

Scottie Scheffler won the most recent version of the Open Championship, lifting the 2025 title with an incredible score of -17.

While golf may seem straightforward on the surface, there is no shortage of betting markets available for any given golf tournament. This creates a lot of options and possibilities when looking at golf betting odds. Here are some of the more common forms of betting on golf.

Outright Winner

This golf betting market allows you to pick who you think will win the entire tournament outright. If your chosen player lifts the trophy, your bet will be awarded at the corresponding golf odds. Keep in mind that this bet will be marked as a loss if the chosen player finishes in any other position, however.

Top-5 and Top-10 Finish 

Just as the name suggests, you can use this market to bet on a player to finish in the top 5 of the tournament in relation to their score. If they finish first, second, third, fourth, or fifth, the bet will be awarded at the displayed golf odds. The odds on whether a player will finish within the top five or top 10 of a tournament are naturally different: the payout won’t be as high since finishing in the top 10 is easier than winning!

Make The Cut

This is another straightforward golf betting option that simply involves betting on which players you think will make the cut for the next stage of the tournament.

Each-Way Betting

In golf, an each-way bet combines an outright bet with a place bet. You will pick one golfer in an each-way bet to receive reduced odds on that player to win the tournament or finish in a certain range. The payout of an each-way bet isn’t as high as an outright bet because the likelihood of winning the bet is greater.

Head-to-Head Matchups

With a head-to-head bet, you make a bet on just two golfers. With this golf betting option, two players, typically two who are going around the golf course together, will be displayed and punters can pick which one they think will get the best score across their session. You can often bet on a draw for this particular golf betting market, too.

First-Round Leader 

This is a bet on what golfer will be leading the tournament after the first round. Most sportsbooks will offer similar bets for subsequent rounds, although first-round leader bets are popular because it’s essentially a bet regarding what golfer will get off to a fast start in the tournament.

Day Betting

In addition to betting on the overall winner of the event, you can use this market to predict which player will get the lowest score on a particular day. This is particularly popular for the first day of a major tournament, but it is available for all stages.

Prop Bets and Specials

Sportsbooks can potentially offer several prop bets during a golf tournament. For instance, there may be odds on whether a golfer will score an eagle or an albatross during the tournament. There could also be a market for a golfer to lead the tournament from start to finish. It’s also common to see odds on whether a specific golfer will hit a hole-in-one during the tournament.

Of course, all the regular golf betting options remain available as well, including each way bets that cover extra positions and predicting whether or not a hole in one will be scored during the event.
