After the PGA betting season wrapped up with the FedExCup title... PGA Tour odds are back with the Fortinet Championship.

Fortinet Championship pre-tournament favorites
We said it's not a star-studded field... except for OWGR No. 1 Jon Rahm, who is the massive betting favorite at +300. Rahm finished second at the TOUR Championship, giving him four Top-3 finishes in his last five events, and he is likely using this weekend for a tuneup for the upcoming Ryder Cup.
It's a big drop to second on the odds board, where World No. 20 Webb Simpson sits at +1,400. Simpson finished 40th in the FedExCup standings last season and will try to get back into form after posting as many missed cuts — three — as Top-10 finishes over his last 13 events.
Kevin Na is third on the board at +1,600. The World No. 24 finished third at the TOUR Championship and starts the 2021-22 season having posted four Top-10 finishes (three Top 3s) in his last six events.
The Top 5 is rounded out by World No. 26 Hideki Matsuyama and rising young star Will Zalatoris, both of which sit at +2,200.

How to bet on PGA Tour odds
The most popular way to bet on golf is by simply picking the winner, which is also referred to as outright. There are plenty of other ways to wager, however. Some of the more popular markets include head-to-head betting, where sportsbooks pair up two golfers and you simply choose who you think will have the lower score over the course of the weekend or for one round only.
There are also 3-way betting markets (choose the best golfer among three choices) and group betting (choose the best golfer amongst a group of players).
Other ways to wager include Top-5/Top-10/Top-20 finish, top golfer by nationality, to make the cut/to not make the cut, and the leader after each round. Then, of course, there's the popular prop bet of whether or not there will be a hole in one at the tournament.
Where can I bet on the PGA?
