Puerto Rico Open 2023 Betting Preview
01 March 2023
The Puerto Rico Open is set to take place this week, and this is one of the newest yearly tournaments that take place. This event was first started in 2008, and it is played at the Grand Reserve Golf Club, and it’s usually an event that attracts some of the best golfers in the game.
Ryan Brehm is the defending champion of the Puerto Rico Open, but there have been some big names that have won this event in the past. Just like with any other PGA Tour event, there is a great chance to win some money by betting on this golf event.
There aren’t a ton of the top golfers set to tee it up this weekend, but that also means that the betting odds are going to be more spaced out.
Favorites to Win Puerto Rico Open
You will usually see some of the best golfers in the world at the top of the odds list when looking into betting favorites. That isn’t the case at the Puerto Rico Open, as many of the top players are going to be sitting this one out.
Nate Lashley is the current favorite to win this weekend, but those odds are all the way down at +1400. There are typically going to be some odds set at +1000 or so, but not with the list of unknown golfers.
Looking at past winners of this tournament shows that there could be some surprising winners. Last year, Ryan Brehm was at +2500 to win the event before it started, and just a few years ago, there was a winner that had odds set at +12500.
- Nate Lashley +1400
- Ben Martin +1600
- Andrew Novak +2000
- Scott Piercy +2200
- Akshay Bhatia +2800
- Cameron Percy +2800
- Dylan Wu +2800
- Erik van Rooyen +2800
- Sam Stevens +2800
- Brandon Harkins +2800
List of Contenders
Since there aren’t many big names when looking at the list of betting favorites, you should also take a look at the list of contenders. This is another list that isn’t loaded down with big names, but that will keep things interesting this weekend.
Even if you look all the way down this list, you are going to see some pretty favorable odds for Carl Yuan at +4500. If you bet on one of these golfers and they are able to win the Puerto Rico Open, then it is going to come with a nice payday.
- Harry Hall +3000
- MJ Daffue +3000
- Michael Kim +3000
- Ryan Gerard +3000
- Brice Garnett +3500
- Harry Higgs +3500
- Augusto Nunez +4500
- Erik Barnes +4500
- Matti Schmid +4500
- Carl Yuan +4500
Piercy or Percy Wins Puerto Rico Open
This is going to be an exciting weekend of golf, and the winning golfer is going to be a name that isn’t well known. You could win some big money by betting on someone from the list of contenders, but it’s best to focus on someone from the group of favorites.
Taking either Scott Piercy or Cameron Percy is the best bet to make at the Puerto Rico Open.
