In golf betting, negative odds indicate how much you need to wager to earn a profit of $100.

For example: If Webb Simpson is -120 to win the Sony Open, Simpson must win for the bet to hit. With a stake of $120, the potential payout is $220 (including stake).

If Simpson has odds of -250, the potential payout with the same stake of $120 is $168 (including stake).

At the BetMGM online sportsbook, you can see the potential payout by adding odds to your Bet Slip and inserting a stake.

Visit the online sportsbook for updated golf odds each year. You can bet on tournament winner, round leader, and other odds for dozens of tournaments.
