Golf Odds & Betting Markets

Golf can turn quickly. A favourite who looked comfortable through 12 holes may find water at 13; somebody six shots back on Thursday can be in the final pairing by Sunday. That movement is part of what makes golf betting interesting, and it is why prices change throughout a tournament.

The golf odds on this page cover events from the PGA Tour, DP World Tour and other leading circuits. You will also find markets for the four men’s majors and the RBC Canadian Open. Before play, that may mean backing the winner or a finishing position. Once a tournament is under way, selected live golf betting markets may be added.

There is professional golf on the calendar for most of the year, though a handful of weeks naturally attract more attention. The four majors bring together the strongest fields, while Canada’s national open has a history and atmosphere of its own.

The Masters

Augusta National is familiar, but it is rarely predictable. The slopes, quick greens and risk around Amen Corner can change the leaderboard in a few holes. It is also the only men’s major that returns to the same course every year.

Rory McIlroy won the 2026 Masters, becoming the fourth player to retain the Green Jacket. His first victory at Augusta had come 12 months earlier, when he completed the career Grand Slam. Visit the Masters betting odds page for the latest tournament markets.

PGA Championship

The PGA Championship usually arrives in May and changes venue from one edition to the next. That means the test can be quite different each year, even though the field is consistently strong.

Aronimink hosted in 2026, when Aaron Rai finished at nine under and won his first major. Jon Rahm and Alex Smalley shared second, three shots behind. Our PGA Championship betting page has the markets available for the next edition.

US Open

At a US Open, saving par often feels as important as making birdie. Narrow landing areas, deep rough and firm greens tend to punish small mistakes, although the set-up depends on the host course.

Wyndham Clark won at Shinnecock Hills in 2026. His four-under total was enough to beat Sam Burns by one and secure a second US Open title. You can follow the build-up through the US Open golf odds page.

The Open Championship

Links golf brings another set of questions. Which side of the draw gets the kinder weather? Can a player keep the ball low when the wind rises? A good bounce on firm ground can help, while the wrong one can send a sound shot into trouble.

Ryan Fox handled Royal Birkdale best in 2026. He birdied four of the last six holes and finished ten under, a shot clear of Cameron Young. See the Open Championship betting page when you are ready to look at the current prices.

RBC Canadian Open

For Canadian fans, the national open deserves its place alongside the majors on this page. The RBC Canadian Open is a PGA Tour event with a history dating back to 1904, and its venue can change from year to year.

Bud Cauley collected his first PGA Tour win at TPC Toronto in 2026. A closing 65 left him 17 under, two ahead of Matt Fitzpatrick. RBC Canadian Open odds are posted when the event is open for betting.

Picking the champion is the obvious starting point, but it is only one option. Golf runs over several rounds and includes a large field, so the market can be approached in a number of ways.

Tournament Winner and Each-Way Bets

An outright bet asks one simple question: who wins? Your golfer has to take the title for a win-only selection to pay out.

Each-way betting adds a second chance of a return. Half of the stake goes on the win and half goes on the player finishing inside the listed places. Entering $10 each way therefore makes the total stake $20. Place terms are not identical at every event, so check both the number of places and the fraction shown beside the market.

Top 5, Top 10 and Top 20

If you like a golfer’s chances of contending but are less sure they will win, a finishing-position bet may make more sense. The available choice can include top-five, top-ten, top-20 or top-40 finishes.

Ties matter here. A market marked “including ties” is different from one settled using dead-heat rules, so it is worth reading the label before adding the selection to your bet slip.

Make or Miss the Cut

Most regular stroke-play events trim the field after 36 holes. You can back a golfer either to reach the weekend or to miss out under that tournament’s cut rule.

A withdrawal or disqualification is not the same thing as missing the cut. Settlement in those circumstances follows the golf rules.

First-Round Leader and Round Betting

A first-round leader bet is finished after Thursday’s play, even though the tournament has three days left. Several golfers may share the lowest score, in which case dead-heat rules can apply.

Other round markets can focus on a player’s 18-hole score, the lowest round of the day or an over/under total. These markets are useful when you have a view on one day’s weather or tee-time conditions rather than the whole event.

Two-Balls, Three-Balls and Matchups

Here, the full leaderboard is not the concern. You are comparing two or three named golfers, usually over a particular round. Tournament matchups cover a longer period and are settled on the overall performance of the listed players.

Always check whether the bet covers one round or the complete event. The names may be the same, but the market is not.

Player and Event Specials

The larger tournaments can bring extra markets: birdies, bogeys, eagles, holes-in-one, winning score, margin of victory or the nationality of the champion. What appears will depend on the event and, in some cases, the round being played.

A leaderboard never tells the entire story. One player may be in the clubhouse at eight under, while another has easier scoring holes still to play. Weather can also favour one half of the draw and make the same score look rather different an hour later.

Live golf odds react to what is happening on the course. Selected events may carry in-play prices on the winner, finishing positions, round scores or group matchups. Markets are sometimes suspended while a shot is being played. Have a look at the player’s position, holes remaining and current price before confirming the bet.

Reading Golf Odds in Canada

American odds are available at BetVictor Canada. With a plus price, the number shows the profit on a $100 stake. A $10 bet at +800, for example, returns $90 if it wins: $80 profit plus the stake.

A minus price works the other way and shows the stake required for $100 profit. At -150, a successful $15 bet returns $25 in total. Other formats can be selected in the account settings, and the bet slip calculates the possible return for you.

Why Golf Odds Move

Form matters, of course, but there is more to a golf price than last week’s result. A long course may help a powerful driver. Tight fairways and small targets tend to place a premium on accuracy and approach play.

Then there is the draw. An early starter might play in calm air before an afternoon wind arrives, or face the worst of the rain while the other half stays dry. Course position, holes remaining, injury news and withdrawals can all influence the odds as well.
