Golf betting, done right.

How to bet golf
Golf Outright (To Win)→
An outright bet picks one golfer to win the whole tournament.
Top-5, Top-10 & Top-20 Golf Bets→
A top finish bet pays out if your golfer ends the week inside a set position, most often the top 5, top 10, or top 20.
Make the Cut Betting in Golf→
A make-the-cut bet asks one question: will your golfer still be playing on the weekend? At most events the field is trimmed after two rounds to the top 65 and ties, and anyone outside that line goes home.
Golf Matchup & Head-to-Head Bets→
A matchup bet ignores the leaderboard and simply asks which of two golfers finishes ahead of the other.

Golf betting FAQ
How does golf betting work?+
You can bet a golfer to win outright, to finish in the top 5, 10, or 20, to make the cut, or head-to-head against another player. Outrights pay the most because winning out of a 150-player field is hard; top finishes and matchups hit more often.
Why are golf odds so big?+
Even the best player in the world is usually +400 or longer to win a given week, because they are beating more than 100 players over four rounds rather than a single opponent. That is why a small outright stake can pay off big.
Are golf odds better on BettorEdge?+
Often, yes. BettorEdge is a peer-to-peer marketplace with no built-in house vig, so the price to win, place, or make the cut can pay more than a traditional sportsbook on the same player.
