After the start of the PGA Tour season was riddled with victories by Dustin Johnson, Jordan Spieth, Rickie Fowler, Hideki Matsuyama and other favorites, it's been a couple of good weeks for golf bettors. Sergio Garcia was somewhere in the 40-to-1 range when he captured the Green Jacket at the Masters, and Wesley Bryan followed that up with a win at the RBC Heritage after being pegged as a 60-to-1 underdog.
The Valero Texas Open should offer bettors another prime opportunity to get a big return on investment. Because of the thin field at TPC San Antonio, Matt Kuchar, who hasn't won a PGA Tour event since 2014, enters as the slight favorite at 18-to-1. Here's a look at the Top of the odds list, per Bovada:
Matt Kuchar: 18/1
Charley Hoffman: 20/1
Brendan Steele: 22/1
Brooks Koepka: 22/1
Ryan Moore: 22/1
Branden Grace: 25/1
Jimmy Walker: 25/1
Kevin Chappell: 25/1
Adam Hadwin: 28/1
Billy Horschel: 28/1
Luke Donald: 33/1
Ollie Schniederjans: 33/1
Patrick Reed: 33/1
Ryan Palmer: 33/1
Tony Finau: 33/1
Zach Johnson: 40/1
Byeong Hun An: 45/1
Keegan Bradley: 45/1
Kevin Na: 45/1
JJ Spaun: 50/1
Luke List: 50/1
Daniel Summerhays: 55/1
Jhonattan Vegas: 55/1
Martin Laird: 55/1
Anirban Lahiri: 66/1
Chris Kirk: 66/1
Graeme McDowell: 66/1
Harold Varner III: 66/1
Ian Poulter: 66/1
Soren Kjeldsen: 66/1
Sung Kang: 66/1
The lack of a Top-10 presence (Patrick Reed is the highest ranked player at 15) means that there is tons of value to be had. Even if someone at the top of the list like Kuchar or Charley Hoffman wins, it's going to offer a pretty solid return.
