The 2023 golf season is underway and all eyes are on Tiger Woods as he continues his comeback after recovering from serious leg injuries in a car accident. Sportsbooks offer a variety of prop bets and odds for betting on Tiger Woods and other top golfers during tournaments.

What are prop bets?

Prop bets, short for proposition bets, are wagers on outcomes that are not directly tied to the final result of an event.

1. Will Tiger Woods be cut?
2. How many fairways will Rory McIlroy hit in regulation in Round 1?
3. Will Brooks Koepka have more birdies or bogeys in Round 2?

Prop bets allow you to bet on very specific outcomes related to individual athletes and add excitement to watching golf tournaments. Sportsbooks set odds and lines for tons of different player props.

Odds boosts

Sportsbooks will often run Odds Boost promotions for PGA Tour events, especially majors like the Masters. This allows you to get enhanced odds on certain prop bets and payouts. For example, Jon Rahm could be +1200 to win the U.S. Open. But a sportsbook may offer enhanced odds of +1600 on Rahm to win, adding value to your potential payout. Props like Top 5 finish, make/miss cut, or head-to-head matchups will also be boosted. The odds boosts normally last for a limited time or amount of bets. So you have to act fast and smart to maximize their value.
