Presidents Cup Betting: Int'l Team Worth a Play at Long Odds

The 2022 Presidents Cup begins this week at Quail Hollow Golf Club in Charlotte, North Carolina. Team USA is loaded with talent, boasting eleven of the world's Top 20 golfers. The International roster only includes three players in the Top20 World Rankings. Cameron Smith, Joaquin Niemann, Abraham Ancer and a few others were deemed ineligible to join the Presidents cup International Team after accepting offers from LIV Golf.

Team USA is at -700 odds. Bill Bowman wrote a piece explaining that Team USA's odds offer no value. There are markets for Team America supporters. Proposals such as Top Points Scorer, Hole-in-One, and biggest individual winning margin are worth exploring.

Team USA is a worthy favorite to win the Presidents Cup. Team USA players have 39 tournament wins since 2019, almost twice the number of International’s 20 wins. The team”s average world ranking is 12, compared to the International's 48.

Team USA is less than half a shot better per 18 holes than the Internationals. Scottie Scheffler would hold only one-and-a-half stroke advantage over Si Woo Kim.

The International Team is worth a bet at Presidents Cup betting. Everyone is predicting a runaway USA victory. The Internationals are worth betting against.

The betting odds on the International Team opened around +275 and have ballooned at all major sportsbooks. I'm taking a shot on International team +750 for half a unit of my bankroll.
