Bellerive is a long par-70 (7,448 yards) with bentgrass greens that has hosted a few majors, most recently the 2018 PGA Championship won by Brooks Koepka.With rain forecasted to soften conditions even further, expect a birdie-fest where elite driving and dialed-in iron play will determine the winner.World No.
1 Scottie Scheffler got the monkey off his back by winning his second tournament this year — his first since the 2026 season opener — at last week's FedEx St.Jude Championship.
Scottie absolutely dummied the field, winning the St.Jude by eight strokes, and he was the only guy to shoot double-digit under par.'PAR TALK: SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER TERRORIZES MEMPHIS, RORY MCILROY COMPLETELY MAILS IT IN, AND JORDAN SPIETH IS DONEWith that in mind, I'd understand if you bet in the "Winner without Scottie Scheffler" markets.
I wouldn't be shocked if Scottie wins the BMW and the TOUR Championship next week, but I just can't bet him at +300 or lower.Instead, I'm wasting 2.19 units (u) on outrights and 2.5u on placement bets on the losers below.The following odds are from when I bet on the golfers listed below.
Subject to change.Chris Gotterup +3000 (0.67u) and Top-10 with ties +189 (0.75u), both at Kalshi Hideki Matsuyama +3000 at FanDuel (0.67u) and Top-10 with ties +198 at Kalshi (0.75u) Collin Morikawa +3800 at DraftKings (0.53u) and Top-10 with ties +265 at Kalshi (0.5u) Michael Thorbjornsen +5500 at BetMGM (0.36u) and Top-10 with ties +312 (0.5u), both at KalshiOne of Gotterup's three wins this season, and his most recent, the John Deere Classic, was at another Midwest course with bentgrass greens.
His other two wins this year were the Sony Open in Hawaii and the WM Phoenix Open in the desert, and his breakthrough win last season was the Genesis Scottish Open.I.e., Gotterup's game travels well.ZERO BS.
