In golf betting, prop bets focus on specific aspects or outcomes within the tournament or round. These types of bets do not directly involve predicting the overall winner, but rather focus on unique or more specific occurrences.
Examples of Prop Bets in Golf Betting
1. First-Round Leader
- Bet which golfer will be the leader after the tournament’s first round.
2. Hole-in-One
- Bet on whether a hole-in-one will occur during the tournament.
3. Will a Golfer Make the Cut?
- Bet on whether a specific golfer will make it to the final two rounds. The cut is typically the top 65 players and ties following the first two rounds.
4. Top 5/Top 10 Finish
- Bet on whether a golfer will finish in the top 5 or top 10 of the tournament.
5. Winning Margin
- Bet on the margin by which the winner will win by (ex. one stroke, two strokes, etc.).
6. Nationality of Winner
- Bet on which country the winner will be from, such as whether the winner will be American, European, etc.
7. Head-to-Head Matchups
- Bet on specific head-to-head matchups between two golfers, where you predict which golfer will have a better finish or score.
8. Will There Be a Playoff?
- Bet on whether the tournament will end in a playoff due to tied scores.
