As we get set to tee off, here\u2019s a six pack of golfers who present decent odds for PGA betting:<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Before we get started, it\u2019s surprising to see Phil Mickelson as the favorite for the tournament right now. He\u2019s currently at 14-1 but he might not even make the cut. He\u2019s been struggling right now, yet the public has bet him down from 18-1. Mickelson would be lucky to have a Top 25, let alone a win.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jim Furyk<\/strong><br \/>\n Northern Trust Open Odds: 25-1<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a tough field but Jim Furyk has as good a chance as anyone. We can\u2019t keep saying he\u2019s due for a win because we\u2019ve been saying that for a long time. He had nine Top 10s in 2008 and is as due as anyone can get. 25-1 is a good price tag for a player of his caliber. Now let\u2019s hope he finally breaks through.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mike Weir<\/strong><br \/>\n Northern Trust Open Odds: 16-1<\/p>\n<p>Along with Padraig Harrington, Weir is the No. 2 in command as far as the favorites go. Both Weir and Harrington sit at 16-1 to win the tournament.<\/p>\n<p>Weir plays pretty well at Riviera, so you should be tempted with his odds. He\u2019s won twice previously at Riviera but the weather this weekend isn\u2019t expected to be great, which might help Weir. He\u2019s developed a little bit of a niche as a bad-weather golfer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Luke Donald<\/strong><br \/>\n Northern Trust Open Odds: 22-1<\/p>\n<p>Great things have been expected from Luke Donald but he hasn\u2019t exactly broke into that premier tier of golfers. But last year was an injury-plagued season for him, which stunted his growth.<\/p>\n<p>This year, Donald has been fairly consistent and could be ready for a win. He\u2019s made the cut in all three tournaments he\u2019s played in this season and he\u2019s finished Top 25 in all of them as well. He also tied for seventh at the Buick Invitational. +2200 is pretty good value for a confident golfer flying below the radar.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Zach Johnson<\/strong><br \/>\n Northern Trust Open Odds: 28-1<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s hard not to like Zach Johnson this week, especially at +2800. He\u2019s played three tournaments this year and he\u2019s finished 12th or better in each of them, winning the Sony Open. If he\u2019s on his irons, this course fits his skill set pretty well.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"margin: 1px; border: 0px initial initial;\" src=\"http:\/\/baff.betonline.com\/aspx\/affiliateGetImage.aspx?ID_SC=2225&amp;ID_I=1646\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Johnson has yet to miss a cut at Riviera, so expect him to be near the top of the leader board on Saturday and Sunday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Aaron Baddeley<\/strong><br \/>\n Northern Trust Open Odds: 40-1<\/p>\n<p>Most of you probably don\u2019t have an Aaron Baddeley poster hanging in your bedrooms but this is a player capable of winning from time to time. He is a very solid putter and is playing fairly well right now \u2013 by his standards.<\/p>\n<p>He has never missed the cut in seven tries at Riviera and does have one top-10 finish here. He\u2019s a long shot but, considering he\u2019s played decently here, he could break through.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Charles Howell III<\/strong><br \/>\n Northern Trust Open Odds: 40-1<\/p>\n<p>Reaching deep into our bag of tricks here, but Charles Howell III might be worth a shot. He\u2019s made it into a playoff twice at Riviera and won once, so course history is on your side if you\u2019re backing him at +4000. He has three top-10 finishes here and he\u2019s never missed a cut. He\u2019s worth a play even though he\u2019s clearly not expected to win.<\/p>\n<h3>Planning On Doing Some PGA Tour Betting This Week? BetOnline.com Sportsbook Has The Best Golf Odds For You!!!
