Why Tommy Fleetwood’s Odds at the Scottish Open Are Shockingly Misleading – What Bookmakers Don’t Want You to Know

Offering “Winner Without” odds for PGA TOUR events is one of the cool things that the big U.S. sportsbooks (FanDuel and DraftKings) do. Since No. 1 Scottie Scheffler and No. 2 Rory McIlroy eat up so much “win equity” when they play, sportsbooks can get more action by taking bets for winners, sans Scottie and Rory. 

Usually, there’s at least one other golfer included in the “Winner Without” markets that makes sense, such as World No. 3 Xander Schauffele, 2023 Masters champion Jon Rahm, two-time U.S. Open winner Bryson DeChambeau, etc. In weak-field events, sometimes the “Winner Without” markets hilariously feature golfers with only one career win on TOUR.
