PGA Tour betting tips: Humana Challenge

January 16th 2014, 5:40pm, By: Johnny Houston

PGA TOUR Humana Challenge - La Quinta, California

When: Friday, 17 January 2014 at 2:00 AM AEST

The PGA Tour is now underway for the 2014 season. We had a lot of success in 2013 with our free golf tips. We will continue to work hard this year, so good luck to all that follow.

This week the tour heads to La Quinta in California for the Humana Challenge. Last year there was a three way playoff with Brian Gay the eventual winner. It is not a long course and is generally a birdie-fest type of tournament. Although most of the big draw cards won’t be playing (Tiger, Scott, McIlroy) there are still a lot of high quality rookie and sophomore players that are ready to take the next step.

One of the favourites for this event is Zach Johnson at 15-1. A very underrated player.  He has started 2014 with a bang, winning at Hyundai and T8 at the Sony Open. He rarely finishes outside the top 10. In fact after the John Deere Classic last year he only had one finish outside the top 10. He is an extremely accurate wedge player and can go birdie for birdie in these shootout tournaments. We also like the look of Brandt Snedeker at odds that look overs, while Mark Wilson can have a big weekend and so happy to have a look at gigantic odds.
