The conclusion of last week’s Ryder Cup signals a restart of the PGA Tour schedule, meaning there is money to be made for those interested in betting.
The Country Club of Jackson is the site for the Sanderson Farms Championship – the second tournament in the FedEx Cup Fall schedule.
Paired with an $8.2 million purse, this year’s tournament comes with added pressure. As part of the revamped PGA schedule, the seven fall events bring plenty of incentive for those hovering around the top 125 as they look to secure exempt status into Full-Field Events and a spot in The Players.
With so much at stake, the Sanderson Farms Championship is far from an exhibition – meaning it’s worth testing the betting waters. Here’s a look at who we like this year, along with other golfers worth sprinkling money on.
One of the biggest stars from the Ryder Cup has elected to play in Jackson, and the odds makers are behind him. Ludvig Aberg – a Swedish golfer who paired up with Viktor Hovland for a historic 9 and 7 win against Americans Scottie Scheffler and Brooks Koepka – enters with +1100 odds to win, according to DraftKings Sportsbook.
Aberg is four months removed from his professional debut and was busy winning a Big 12 individual title for Texas Tech in April. His success in the Ryder Cup has quickly elevated his stardom in the sport.
Mackenzie Hughes (+6500 to win) could be an intriguing longshot considering he won the tournament last year. However, the Canadian hasn’t had much success since then.
