PGA Tour: Long shots have been dominating so far this season

We’re only a few months into the 2024 PGA Tour golf season, but we’ve already had a number of pre-tournament betting long shots cash for bettors.

The longest shot so far was Grayson Murray, who won the Sony Open in Hawaii back in January and had 400-1 odds.  The following week Nick Dunlap (300-1) became the first amateur golfer to win a PGA event since 1991.

In all, six of the nine winners on the PGA Tour this season have had pre-tournament odds of at least 100-1, including last week’s winner Austin Eckroat (100-1).

The golfer with the shortest odds to win was Jake Knapp a few weeks ago at the Mexico Open.

Will we see this trend continue for the rest of the year? It’s highly unlikely, but it’s been quite a start and surely some bettors have cashed some long-shot tickets.
