Barbasol Championship 2023 Betting Preview
12 July 2023
The PGA Tour stop this weekend will send players to the Keene Trace Golf Club in the state of Kentucky for the Barbasol Championship. This has been a stop on the tour for the last few years, but it’s one that doesn’t always attract the best golfers.
Most of the biggest names on the PGA Tour are already in Europe and getting ready for the Open Championship. That will leave this field pretty thin of dominant golfers this weekend, but that could add to the intrigue.
Here is a look at the betting odds to win the Barbasol Championship, and a Dunkel betting pick and prediction as well.
Interesting Group of Favorites
Since the biggest names in the sport of golf have already headed over to Europe, that is going to create an interesting list of betting favorites for this event. There is just one betting favorite currently heading into the weekend, and it’s Taylor Pendrith at +1800.
Here is a look at some of the other golfers that could be considered betting favorites for this event:
- Lucas Glover +2800
- Vincent Noorman +2800
- Akshay Bhatia +2800
- Kevin Streelman +3000
- Peter Kuest +3000
Most of these golfers haven’t been able to put together a string of success on the PGA Tour, but this is an event in which they could have some success. Out of the group of golfers that are listed above, Lucas Glover and Kevin Streelman are two of the most successful players on the PGA Tour up to this point.
Solid Group of Contenders
While you always want to check out the list of betting favorites when breaking down any PGA Tour event, you also need to look a little bit deeper. This is going to be an event that is going to have a very tight leaderboard, and that means that you should explore betting contenders as well.
There is a chance to get a really nice payout by betting on the Barbasol Championship, especially if you are looking at the group of contenders. Here is a look at some of the top betting contenders to consider:
- MJ Daffue +3500
- Niklas Norgaard +3500
- Cameron Champ +3500
- Carl Yuan +4000
- Patton Kizzire +4000
- Ryo Hisatsune +4500
- Justin Lower +4500
- Andrew Novak +4500
Lower Wins the Title
This tournament is likely going to be one by someone that hasn’t had a ton of success on the PGA Tour, but that is really the basis of this event. It always tends to draw plenty of attention since PGA Tour fans are looking to find the next up-and-coming star on the PGA Tour.
There is a decent group of betting favorites for this event, but looking a little further down the list is the way to go. It’s important to find some terrific value in the betting odds, and seeing golfers around the +4500 range is the way to go.
For that reason, Justin Lower is the bet to make this weekend at the Barbasol Championship, as he will find a way to win the title.
