Bet on Golf at Best Bet
Major championships, tour events, and live markets covered across the full season.
Golf offers some of the most varied betting opportunities in professional sports. At Best Bet, players based in the United States can wager on major championships including The Masters, the U.S. Open, The Open Championship, and the PGA Championship, as well as regular tour events across the PGA Tour and DP World Tour. The schedule runs essentially year-round, from January's Tournament of Champions in Hawaii through the FedEx Cup Playoffs in late summer, which means there is rarely a long gap between events worth following.
The most common bet types in golf include outright winner, top-5 and top-10 finishes, head-to-head matchups between two players, and first-round leader picks. Each format carries a different risk profile. Outright winner bets typically offer the highest returns given field sizes, sometimes 100 or more competitors in a single event, while matchup bets reduce variance by narrowing the contest to just two players. Live betting adds a third layer: you can back a player who made a strong start to hold position through the back nine.
Best Bet holds a Curacao eGaming license issued by Antillephone N.V. (license 8048/JAZ2016-037), which covers its sportsbook operations. All accounts run in USD, and TRON is available as a payment method for players who prefer crypto transactions. If you have questions about specific markets or account details, support is reachable by phone, email, or via the official Facebook page.
New players can claim a 32% welcome bonus on their first deposit. On a $100 deposit that works out to $32 in bonus funds added to your balance, giving you extra capital to explore golf markets from your first week on the site.
Leagues and Tournaments
Full coverage from the four majors to weekly tour stops and LIV Golf's team format
Golf at Best Bet spans every major sanctioning body in the professional game, with outrights, head-to-head matchups, and live round-by-round markets covering the PGA Tour, DP World Tour, and LIV Golf's team-based, no-cut 54-hole format. The major championships draw the broadest market variety, while regular tour stops generate consistent action across hundreds of betting options each week.
| Tournament / League | Sanctioning Body | Format | Betting Highlights |

| The Masters | Augusta National Golf Club | 72-hole stroke play, April (Augusta, GA) | Outright winner, top-5/10/20 finish, cut maker, first-round leader |

Popular Golf Betting Markets
From tournament outrights to live hole wagers, golf offers some of the widest market variety in sports betting.
Golf generates more distinct betting markets per event than almost any major sport. A single tournament like The Masters or the U.S. Open can run hundreds of options across four rounds, and Best Bet carries the full range - from straightforward winner picks to live wagers that update with each hole.
| Market | How It Works | Good For |
|---|---|---|
| Tournament Winner | Pick the outright champion from a field of 120 to 156 players. Prices of 50/1 and longer are routine for most contenders, giving this market serious upside for small stakes. | Value hunters and course specialists |
| Each-Way | Half your stake goes on the win, half on a place covering top 5 or top 8, paying 1/4 to 1/5 of the win odds. A practical buffer on mid-priced selections. | Mid-range picks with downside cover |
| Head-to-Head | One named player to out-finish another in the final standings. Withdrawals before a minimum hole count typically void the bet, so check the specific terms first. | Matchup and form plays |
| Top 5 / Top 10 / Top 20 | Bet on a player finishing inside a set bracket. Top-20 suits consistent ball-strikers who hold difficult cuts but rarely challenge for the title on Sunday. | Course-history bets at long outright prices |
| Make / Miss the Cut | Survive or miss the 36-hole PGA Tour cut, typically set at the low 65 scores and ties. A clean two-outcome market for short-term form reads. | Short plays on in-form players |
| First Round Leader | Lowest 18-hole score on Day 1. Morning tee times in calm conditions carry a genuine scoring edge, so the draw is worth checking before you place. | Draw-aware bettors |
| Winning Margin | Bet the victory gap in bands: 0-1 strokes, 2-3, 4-6, or 7 or more. Useful when a clear favorite is short in outright markets and you want to improve the return. | Backing compressed-odds favorites |
Golf Odds and Special Offers
Sharp pricing across the full PGA Tour calendar, with event boosts on every major
Best Bet covers the full PGA Tour schedule along with DP World Tour and LIV Golf events, posting outright winner odds from Sunday evening through Thursday morning tee time. New accounts qualify for a 32% deposit bonus on the first deposit up to $1,000, which means $320 in extra credit when you fund at the maximum: a meaningful cushion when targeting long-shot major picks.
| Betting Market | Typical Odds (USD) | Offer or Note |
|---|---|---|
| Tournament Winner (Outright) | +200 to +10000 | Posted Sunday evening after the prior event ends; favorites like Scottie Scheffler open near -120 at majors and drift longer by Wednesday as the field firms up |
| Top 5 Finish | -180 to +500 | Best Bet boosts this market by up to 15% on the first major of each quarter; settlement follows official tour results including any playoffs |
| Head-to-Head Matchup | -110 / -110 | Available in 18-hole and 72-hole formats; if either player withdraws before completing the stipulated round, the stake is refunded in full |
| First-Round Leader | +400 to +2500 | Void on withdrawal before completing hole 1; hold percentage runs tighter than outright markets, which can offer value against books with wider spreads |
| Make or Miss Cut | -140 to +110 | Standard 36-hole line for regular tour events; majors use the top 65 and ties rule, and Best Bet settles within 15 minutes of the official ruling |
| Prop Bets | +1500 to +5000 | Active during the four majors only; the US Open and Masters each include 20 or more individual player markets, from closest-to-the-pin specials to eagle props at Augusta |
| Live In-Play Betting | Dynamic, -130 to +300 | Lines refresh hole-by-hole during broadcast hours; suspension windows apply around tee shots on Par 3s and during any weather hold |
Live Golf Betting
Place bets hole by hole as the round unfolds, with lines updating in real time
Live golf betting at Best Bet turns a four-day tournament into a continuous stream of wagering decisions. Once the first tee shots land on Thursday morning, markets shift hole by hole. You can back a player to birdie the next par-5, wager on whether a leader holds form through the back nine, or lock in a round-low scorer bet without committing to an outright winner days before the final putt. The pace is slower than team sports, which means more time to read the board before lines move.
Core in-play markets at Best Bet include next hole winner in three-ball groupings, round leader, make/miss cut, and head-to-head matchup lines that reset after each hole completes. A two-shot swing on a reachable par-5 can flip a matchup number inside two minutes, so course position matters as much as pre-round handicap. The sportsbook covers PGA Tour events, DP World Tour stops, and all four major championships through a single interface. Lines for live play open from the first group off the tee and stay active until players finish 18.
Best Bet holds Curacao eGaming license 8048/JAZ2016-037 issued by Antillephone N.V., which governs market availability and dispute resolution for US players. USD accounts have live bets graded as soon as the relevant hole or round concludes - no waiting until Sunday evening to see a round-three wager settled. Accounts funded through TRON typically see payouts process faster than conventional banking channels, worth factoring in if you plan to reload between rounds of a 72-hole event. Phone, email, and Facebook support are available during tournament hours if a market needs clarification mid-round.
Upcoming Events
