Bubba Watson (-118) vs. Brooks Koepka

Everyone keeps thinking Koepka, a four-time major winner and the 2015 Phoenix Open champ, needs to get right eventually. Well, he has missed three three straight cuts and is in complete disarray.

Watson also missed the cut last week at the Farmers Insurance Open in his first event of 2021. Only four golfers with 10 or more rounds of experience at TPC Scottsdale have averaged more than Watson’s 1.95 strokes gained on the field per round.

Webb Simpson vs. Daniel Berger (+105)

Berger and Simpson come into the week ranked sixth and ninth, respectively, in the Golfweek rankings. Simpson, the defending tournament champion is a modest favorite in this tournament head-to-head despite having the lower world ranking. Both are playing for the first time in 2021 back on the mainland after they each played both events in Hawaii.

Berger has never won here, but he has three top-10 finishes in six appearances. Both are excellent ball-strikers are among the top-six betting favorites for the week. Take the value in Berger in what should be a pick ’em.

2021 Waste Management Phoenix Open: Placing bets

Top 5: Byeong Hun An (+1600)

Going back to course history, An’s 2.09 strokes gained on the field per round rank fourth in this field among those with at least 12 rounds played. He tied for eighth in a slightly weaker field at The American Express two weeks ago before a T-75 finish last week amid a poor putting performance. His experience on these greens should help.

Top 10: Doc Redman (+1400)

Odds

Redman missed the cut in two of his last three events, but he collected three top-10s from mid-August to early November of 2020. He’s struggling around the greens on the 2020-21 season, but he’s still gaining 0.34 strokes per round off-the-tee and suits this venue well with relatively unguarded putting surfaces.

Top European: Rory McIlroy (+210)

This is a glorified head-to-head between McIlroy and tournament betting favorite Jon Rahm (+100). Henrik Norlander and Rory Sabbatini are next by the odds in this group at +1400 and +1600, respectively.

Rahm has three career top-10 finishes here while McIlroy debuts, but the Northern Irishman is better with the driver, ranking second on Tour in SG: Off-the-Tee for the season.

2021 Waste Management Phoenix Open: First-round leader

Golf Matchup Odds

Webb Simpson (+2500)

This is good value for the defending champion. It’s early in the season, but Simpson is tied for eighth on Tour with a first-round scoring average of 68.29 through seven events. He opened with a 71 here last year but shot 63-64 in his next two rounds to fly up the leaderboard.

How To Read the Golf Futures Odds Market

The 'Odds to Win' wager in golf is very simple to understand. Put simply, you just need to select the golfer that will capture the victory. Select any of the golfers in the tournament and your payout for the bet will depend on the odds given at the time of the wager. Plus, you can bet online with legal US sportsbooks up until the event begins. There may even be some in-game wagers.

To figure out your Win Amount, take the odds and multiply by the amount wagered. Ex. Jason Day (10/1) - Jason Day is listed as a 10/1 betting choice. If you wager $100 on Day to win the event and he comes in first, then you would win $1,000 (5 ÷ 2 x 100). You would collect $1,100, which includes your win and stake ($100).

What does the FIELD mean? Many golf tournaments will include a betting selection called the Field. This bet consists of all golfers not listed in the 'Odds to Win.' Most races have a set number of golfers but it’s rare to see oddsmakers put a price on every golfer that will tee off. Golfers that are given the least opportunity to win the tournament will be grouped into the 'Field' odds and paid out accordingly if they win.
