Online golf betting takes off this week as the Greenbrier Classic brings us closer to thrilling action on the green that we all love.
The Greenbrier Classic is an official PGA Tour FedEx Cup event that will take place from July 3rd to July 9th. A total of 156 PGA Tour golfers will compete for an alluring $7.1 million purse. The event will be held at the Greenbrier’s Old White TPC Course.
Widely considered to be the most anticipated stop on this year’s PGA Tour, the Greenbrier Classic is the summer’s hottest sports wagering event – at least in the world of golf. Because of the considerable coverage the event will be getting, it is one of the best reasons to hit up online betting sites. Below are your best betting options for this year’s tournament.
Jimmy Walker
Walker is known in the online golf betting community as a hit or miss. However, many bettors feel that Walker is destined to hit at this year’s event. The vet is coming off two straight misses in a row, both at last week’s US Open that featured a winning score of -7. Walker, who has a scoring average of 68.31 at this venue, will be confident from the moment he steps onto the grass.
Jimmy Walker +1 ½ (-120) +110 vs. JB Holmes -1 ½ (-110) -130
Nick Taylor
Taylor comes into this year’s Greenbrier Classic as the hottest golfer in the field. Nevertheless, the odds most online betting sites have him pegged at still offer tremendous value on clear cut favorite. Taylor continually makes cuts and has tremendous potential in this tourney.
Nick Taylor -1 ½ (-110) -130 vs. Ted Potter JR +1 ½ (-120) +110
Bryson DeChambeau
DeChambeau has missed 11 straight cuts. So why is he a good betting option? Because his recent performances make it seem like things are finally coming together. He’s posted a T26 and T17 in his last two outings, and has been phenomenal tee-to-green. The fact that he’s listed as an underdog simply sweetens the pot.
Bryson DeChambeau +1 ½ (-115) +120 vs. Matt Jones -1 ½ (-115) -140
Vaughn Taylor
Taylor is known for having a tremendously accurate tee and putting up premier proximity numbers. The well-known golfer is also great from short distances. He’s pretty good across the board but puts up better on par-3s and par-4s. This is likely due to the demanding distance par-5s offer. Might be a bit of a risky pick and considering the odds, there are better options on this list.

Johnson Wagner
Wagner is known for being one of the toughest reads in the world of online golf betting. At times Wagner looks like a bust, at others he looks like he’s destined to have a bust in his honor. When he’s on there’s few that can compete with him. The only problem is getting him on.
Johnson Wagner -1 ½ (-105) -125 vs. Patrick Rodgers +1 ½ (-125) +105
