Bubba Watson loves the Genesis Invitational at Riviera Country Club. The 41-year-old has won this Southern California event in 2014, 2016 and 2018. Being an even numbered year, I want to back Watson with this week’s One Bet, $100. The only problem is I am a little hesitant to wager […]

Riviera Country Club is about the only golf course that Tiger Woods hasn’t mastered, but he gets another chance starting Thursday at the Genesis Invitational. Woods has a long history at the famed Southern California course. It’s just not the type of history Woods would like. The 44-year-old, who grew […]

The Genesis Invitational has one of the strongest fields of any non-major championship golf tournament. Nine of the top 10 of the Official World Golf Rankings are scheduled to play.

Golf could quite possibly be the hardest sport to wager successfully. Picking a winner is, oftentimes, a frustrating exercise. That said, my dark-horse pick at this week’s Pebble Beach Pro-Am would be Max Homa. I don’t have the bankroll to drop $100 on a golfer, even if the odds are […]

To play or not to play? That’s the question that golf professionals ask themselves about the Pebble Beach Pro-Am. On one hand, the Monterey Peninsula in central California is stunning.

Phil Mickelson told the media earlier this year his game was close, and at last week’s Saudi Invitational he backed it up. The 49-year-old finished tied for third at the tournament held at Royal Greens Golf and Country Club in Saudi Arabia. It’s the first cut Mickelson has made in […]

A Chicago gambler rooted hard for his bet on Viktor Hovland to come in, but the PGA Tour rookie couldn’t deliver at this week’s Waste Management Phoenix Open.

Forgotten in all the hype of Tiger Woods, and the battle between Rory McIlroy and Brooks Koepka for the #1 ranking, is Dustin Johnson. For golf gamblers, that may be a costly mistake. Johnson returns to Saudi Arabia this week to defend his title at the Saudi Invitational, played at […]

The Waste Management Phoenix Open is a party disguised as a golf tournament. In a sport that expects decorum, the event at TPC Scottsdale in the Arizona desert, bucks tradition.
