The PGA Tour’s Players Championship Tournament will begin anew tomorrow morning and with it comes a fresh batch of golf betting odds to entice fans around the globe.
The Players Championship was canceled in 2020 due to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, and now, thanks to 11 months’ worth of social distancing protocols providing a solid gameplan for safe play, the tournament is back on.
Rory Mcllroy has the chance to win The Players Championship twice in a row, and he is currently listed as the fifth most likely option to hoist the championship trophy on Sunday afternoon with a +1600 money line.
That means that wagers of $1 can earn $16 at online PGA Tour betting sites, which is an incredible profit margin for a returning champion. The entire field of competitors is available to bet on in the below Players Championship futures odds, but we’ve culled the list to include only the top 12.
