PGA Tour The Players Betting Tips

TPC Sawgrass, Thursday 13th - Sunday 16th March

Russel Henley took out the elevated Arnold Palmer Invitational on the weekend in a thrilling finish over Collin Morikawa. It was a star studded field at Bay Hill but it’ll get even stronger this week with a huge $25m prize-pool up for grabs in what is widely considered the ‘5th major’ on the golf circuit. 

The Field

The Field for The Players is as strong as it gets outside of the four majors, which also include the LIV contracted players. All of the top names will be in action, including the likes of world No.1 Scottie Scheffler, who has played just three events this season and been solid without breaking through for a win.

Joining him at the top of the betting markets is Rory McIlroy, Collin Morikawa, Ludvig Aberg, Justin Thomas, Xander Schauffele, Hideki Matsuyama, Patrick Cantlay and Jordan Spieth. 

Past winners of The Players who will be looking to add another trophy to the case this year include Thomas, McIlroy, Si-Woo Kim, Jason Day, Rickie Fowler, Matt Kuchar and Scheffler, who has won the tournament the past two years in a row. 

 

The Course

One of the most famous courses in the world, TPC Sawgrass has been the annual host of The Players since all the way back in 1982. It is a Par 72 that plays at just over 7,200 yards and is one of the truest, most all-round tests in all of golf. The average winning score is generally in the low-mid teens under par, so it’s safe to expect the same again this season. 

The highlight of TPC Sawgrass is undoubtedly the world famous Par 3, 17th hole. The island green has provided so many great moments down the stretch over the history of The Players championship, often being the deciding factor.

 

Betting Tips

Sepp Straka ($38/Top 30 $2.00)

Leading the FedEx Cup points list and I think the most in-form golfer in the world at the moment. Straka is looking to capatilise on this purple patch, having already played eight events this season for seven made cuts and six top 25 finishes. Has made the cut in his last three trips to Sawgrass including two top 15 finishes. 

Justin Rose ($121/Top 40 $2.37)

The 44 year old is quietly stacking up a decent little resume in 2024 so far off limited golf with a T3 at Pebble Beach followed by a T8 at the Arnold Palmer last weekend. Has made the cut in five of his last seven trips to Sawgrass including a T6 in 2023 and a T8 in 2019.
