Why Caesars Sportsbook’s golf betting options are perfect for newcomers

Golf season is in full swing, so to speak, and that means golf wagering is also taking center stage.

For those who like to bet on sports, these summer months can be a quiet, lonely time. The NBA and NHL playoffs are in the rearview mirror, college football is still months away from kicking off and baseball’s postseason hasn’t even entered the conversation yet. What’s a sports fan to do?

Golf fans who watched the recent U.S. Open in Pinehurst, North Carolina, know exactly what to do: Put some money down on the marquee late-season golf events, such as this month’s Open Championship at Scotland’s Royal Troon Golf Club. After that, the PGA Tour’s FedExCup playoffs begin.

If you’re not sure where to bet or even how to bet on golf, try the Caesars Sportsbook app, the preeminent mobile sports betting app for wagering on golf. Currently 29 U.S. states allow wagering online, including North Carolina, where it was just legalized in March. Caesars has been in the business for more than 80 years, and its sportsbook has offered a responsible and elevated way to bet on sports at Caesars destinations in the state since 2021.

What sets Caesars Sportsbook apart is its integration with the company’s industry-leading customer loyalty program, Caesars Rewards®, which directly ties sports wagering to unforgettable experiences. For golf fans, Caesars has additional benefits, including VIP experiences to sports bettors like a stay-and-play opportunity at Harrah’s Cherokee Casino and Sequoyah National. Caesars is also offering sweepstakes opportunities to win VIP trips to the Masters in Augusta.

Now that you’re ready to get in on the golf betting action, here are some fun ways to wager on upcoming marquee tournaments.

Overall Winner

Golf fans 21 and older can place a straight bet on the overall tournament winner each week. For a beginner, this is probably the easiest way to get in on the action, even if the odds are long. If you’re feeling a bit adventurous and want more in-depth action, Caesars Sportsbook also has a variety of other markets.

Top-5 and Top-10 Finishes

Predict a player to finish in the top five or top 10 of a specified tournament.

Winning Nationality

Are you a fan of the stars and stripes? What about the blue and yellow of Ludvig Åberg’s Sweden? Put your money where your loyalty lies, and wager on the winner’s nationality.

Player Hole-in-One

If you had bet on Francesco Molinari or Sepp Straka to jar a tee shot during the U.S. Open, you were a winner.

Tournament Hole-in-One

Are you confident that there will be at least one hole-in-one during a specific tournament? Then this wager is for you. This is usually a smart bet at TPC Scottsdale, home of the WM Phoenix Open. Since the PGA Tour started tracking the stat in 1983, TPC Scottsdale has given up a tour-high 31 aces.

Make the Cut

From 1998 to 2005, this bet was a lock with Tiger Woods, who holds the PGA Tour record with 142 consecutive cuts. Through this year’s U.S. Open, Xander Schauffele was the current leader on the PGA Tour with 42 consecutive cuts made.

Two-Ball or Three-Ball Betting

Pick your favorite player to beat your not-so-favorite player or players in a group in a specific round of the tournament. So if Scottie, Xander, and Rory are all paired together – you can bet on who will have the best score of the three.
