The PGA Tour will be in Japan this week for the ZOZO Championship from Accordia Golf Narashino Country Club.
It has arguably the best field of the fall, with six players in the top 30 of the Official World Golf Rankings teeing it up, including Xander Schauffele, Collin Morikawa, Rickie Fowler and defending champion Keegan Bradley.
This all sets up for a solid week of PGA Tour betting.
Bettors at the BetMGM online sportsbook like Bradley to repeat as champion.
As of Wednesday, Bradley, who is +2200 to win, is pulling in the most handle (17.1%) on the second-most tickets (6.5%).
Last year wasn’t Bradley’s only high finish at this event. He finished T-13 in 2019, playing alongside Tiger Woods, who won the tournament.
Bradley hasn’t played since the Tour Championship, where he finished T-9. This is also his first event since missing out on the Ryder Cup.
Min Woo Lee (+1800) is also a favorite among bettors.
The 25-year-old won last weekend at the SJM Macao Open on the Asian Tour, logging rounds of 62-65-64-63. He is drawing the third-highest handle (10.2%) on the most tickets (9.2%).
When it comes to Accordia Golf Narashino Country Club, it has hosted the event three times prior to this year. In those three editions, the winning score has been between 15 and 19-under.
It’s a narrow, tree-lined course where players will need to keep the ball in play to avoid penal rough.
Bradley, Lee and Cameron Champ (+4000) are BetMGM’s biggest liabilities.
