There are just two weeks left in the PGA Tour Fall Series, as this week the Tour heads to Bermuda for the Butterfield Bermuda Championship.

Port Royal Golf Course in Southhampton, Bermuda, will host the event. The course is known for its windy conditions, which will likely give players fits.ย 

As of Wednesday at the BetMGM online sportsbook, Maverick McNealy and Daniel Berger are the most popular players when it comes to golf betting.

McNealy, who is +1800 to win, is pulling in the most money at 17.6%. The next closest is Wesley Bryan at 9.9%.

The 29-year-old enters in great form, finishing T-6 last week at the World Wide Technology Championship. Prior to withdrawing after the first round of the ZoZo Championship, he finished T-16 at the Shriners Childrenโ€™s Open.

Berger, who is +3300 to win, is drawing the most bets (6.1%) on the third-most money (6.9%).

This will be his tournament debut, but his excellent ball striking will serve him well in the wind. He has made four straight cuts, including two top 20s.ย 

Bryan (+5000), Berger and McNealy are BetMGMโ€™s biggest liabilities this week.ย
