Hero World Challenge Betting Odds
On the Outright Winner betting market, Scottie Scheffler is considered the favorite with +2200 odds to win the event. Followed by Justin Thomas sitting with odds of +1200, and Ludvig Aberg currently listed at +1200.
Hero World Challenge Betting Predictions:
Option 1: Scottie Scheffler (+220)
It’s a very short, number but it’s only and 20-man field I expect Scheffler to excel once again on this golf course. He is accurate off the tee and excellent approach game. He has shown that he has very few “off” weeks. Scheffler is too good to pass up when he only has to beat 19 other players.
Option 2: Tom Kim (+2500)
Kim can fill it up with birdies and that will be needed to win this week in the Bahamas. He was great at the Ryder Cup, but hasn’t played much this fall. Iron play is key here and Kim is a great iron player. I’ll take him all day at 25/1.
Option 3: Nick Dunlap (+4500)
For my final selection, we’ll take Nick Dunlap at 45/1. Dunlap showed the ability to win golf tournaments last season and he is just going to continue to get better each year. He has shown the ability to go extremely low and I hope he can do it once again this week and cash at 45/1.
