Betting Tips and Odds on Golf
Different dimensions come into view when looking for a golf bet on the popular outright winner tournament market. It delivers big odds on the players hoping to reach the top of the leaderboard, and it can be both a fun and challenging market for golf bets.Fortunately for punters, golf is nicely intertwined with statistics. Those statistics can be turned into valuable golf betting tips. Previous course form, the current streak of top 10 finishes, 'Strokes Gained Tee-To-Green', 'Ball Striking', and 'Strokes Gained Approach' are common stats to be considered.
Different stats come into play for various tournaments. That's because events are played under strikingly different conditions, and no two courses are alike. Sometimes big, booming drives are preferred, and other times finesse around the greens is needed.

Different Types of Golf Bets
- There's more variety to golf betting online than just the tournament winner within the extensive Betsafe sportsbook. We stick it right on the green when it comes to brilliant options for betting variety. Here are some of the most popular golf markets that we have.
- Tournament Winner - A common place for punters to start. Even tournament favourites will be at big odds, making this a tough yet intriguing market for punters. Because of the high market prices, each-way bets on the outright are common.
- First Rounder Leader - Because a lot can happen throughout four rounds of golf, some punters like to take a bite-sized chunk of a golf bet by picking who will end the first round as the clubhouse leader.
- Top 10 Finish - A good alternative to making a pick on a tournament winner is the 'Top 10 Finish' market for golf odds. This is where a player is expected to finish in the top ten. There are a lot of variations from Top 3, Top 5, Top 20, etc., depending on the field.
- Three-Ball - This is a narrow focus on a group of players taking in a round of golf. Make a bet on which of the three nominated players in a Three-Ball will post the lowest score. Similar 'Two-Ball' bets are also available.
Golf Odds Live In-play
There's much to explore with golf betting live odds as a tournament trundles along. The outright winner market will naturally be active, with the golf odds being constantly updated as the play continues.But so will other golf odds options like 'Round Winner', 'Individual Player Scores', and 'Three Holes'. The latter is an exciting pick of which player will score the lowest over the next three selected holes. Options on a select hole can also be explored, such as a 'Birdie Or Better' on Hole 3 (Round 3, Par 4).
Another great way to use live, in-play golf odds is to hedge pre-event wagers. If your tournament pick has gotten off to a rough start, you may want to hedge some strong starters in response.
Whatever your favourite approach to golf betting is, sink a hole-in-one with your favourite options at Betsafe. Keep an eye out for live streams whenever possible, so you can watch the players in action and see exactly how they perform.
