Which players among Lanto Griffin, Alex Noren, Denny McCarthy, Scottie Scheffler, Aaron Wise, and Beau Hossler deserves the longest looks to win the Bermuda Championship?
It’s surprising that Alex Noren offers the same odds as Lanto Griffin. Griffin shot well in his last, the Korn Ferry Championship, to finish seventh. But, the Korn Ferry Championship, which you might guess, is the championship tournament for the Korn Ferry Tour.
Noren plays on the PGA Tour. The difference is sort of like racing on the NASCAR Xfinity circuit compared to racing on the NASCAR Monster Energy Cup circuit. It means that Noren has battled on much tougher courses He should offer +1000 odds if Lanto Griffin offers +1400 odds.
Unless he’s on top of his game, he’ll be tough to beat. If he’s not it’s wide-open. If you don’t like Noren, don’t back Griffin among the favorites. Go with one of the +1600 odds choices, like Denny McCarthy, or back Beau Hossler at +1800. Griffin has no real advantage over those golfers.
Which underdog golfer at +4000 odds or higher can win the Bermuda Championship?
Once you decide not to back a favorite, you’re sort of throwing darts with an eye shut. None of the golfers entered has enough history to recommend to win this tournament, which means if you bet on a winner, go for a golfer at huge odds.
One golfer offering big odds who has a shot is Fabian Gomez. The Argentinian shot very well at the Wyndham Championship. He shot a 68 or less in every round. His score was -15, good enough for a thirteenth place finish. Gomez can get it done.
What PGA Tournament Matchups should golf handicappers consider at the Bermuda Championship?
- Denny McCarthy -130
- Lanto Griffin +110
McCarthy missed the cut at the Northern Trust Open. However, he played in the Northern Trust Open. McCarthy should use his PGA Tour experience to get past Lanto Griffin on Sunday.
- Lanto Griffin -110
- Alex Noren -110
Noren gets the nod here. Griffin played well at the Korn Ferry Championship. Noren made the cut at The Open Championship, the WGC-FedEx St. Jude, and the Wyndham Championship in his last 3 tournaments played.
- Scottie Scheffler +100
- Aaron Wise -120
Scheffler has played on both the PGA Tour and in Korn Ferry Tournament this year. He finished seventh at the Korn Ferry Championship. He missed the cut at the U.S. Open. Wise played well on the PGA Tour. He made the cut at the U.S. Open. That experience should carry him over the top against Scottie Scheffler this weekend.
