Golf Betting: Best Bets To Win The Shriners Hospitals for Children Open

Some of the best golfers in the world will make their way to Las Vegas, Nevada and the TPC Summerlin course for the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open this week. Tony Finau, Brooks Koepka, Matthew Wolff and Webb Simpson will all make their season debuts. Meanwhile, past champions like Bryson DeChambeau and Patrick Cantlay will also be on hand looking to double down with another victory.

Let’s take a look at this week’s field, including some of the favorites, value picks and one deep sleeper option.

SHRINERS HOSPITALS FOR CHILDREN OPEN
OCTOBER 3RD-6TH, 2019
TPC SUMMERLIN, LAS VEGAS, NEVADA

PAST FIVE WINNERS

2018: BRYSON DECHAMBEAU -21
2017: PATRICK CANTLAY -9
2016: ROD PAMPLING -20
2015: SMYLIE KAUFMAN -16
2014: BEN MARTIN -20

THE FAVORITES

BROOKS KOEPKA +800

Koepka will return to action for the first time since he finished tied for third in the FedEx Cup. While we haven’t seen him in a little bit, there is no reason to expect anything less than the best Koepka has to offer this week. Koepka tied for fourth in this tournament back in 2014 and then registered a runner-up finish at this event back in 2016. With a chance to start this season where he left off a year ago, it’s no surprise that Koepka is the favorite to win this tournament.

BRYSON DECHAMBEAU +1600

DeChambeau improved in each of his last three appearances in this tournament. After placing 36th in 2017, DeChambeau finished seventh here in 2017 before winning outright here last season. After picking up the victory here a year ago, DeChambeau will be full of confidence when he makes his season debut at TPC Summerlin this week. He should be in the mix as a legitimate contender to win this event outright once again.

NEXT IN LINE

WEBB SIMPSON +2000

Simpson has performed well at TPC Summerlin in the past including a win here back in 2013. He ranks fifth in Strokes Gained: Total here since 2015. He also ranks 15th on the PGA Tour in Strokes Gained: Approach-The-Green over his last six starts overall. At +2000 odds, Simpson is worth taking a chance on this week.

COLIN MORIKAWA +2800

Morikawa is another excellent value pick this week at decent odds. Coming off a Top 10 finish in his season debut at the Safeway Open last week, Morikawa has the opportunity to build on that performance at a course where his skill set should translate in TPC Summerlin. Currently ranked eighth on the PGA Tour in Strokes Gained: Tee-to-Green, Morikawa is worth a flier for a Top 10 prop.

SLEEPER PICK

ADAM HADWIN +4000

Hadwin showed flashes of his immense potential at times throughout both 2017 and 2018 before fading a bit towards the end of last season. That could be a good thing from a sports betting perspective following his Top 15 finish at the Safeway Open. Hadwin led the field in Greens In Regulation at that event. He also registered a Top 10 finish in his debut at the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open back in 2014. At +4000 odds, Hadwin is worth taking a chance on as a sleeper pick either for matchups or to finish in the Top 10.
