Bet on Scottie Scheffler to Repeat at the Hero World Challenge

Scottie Scheffler’s +225 odds at PGA Tour betting sites may not offer the massive payouts that bettors hope for when gambling on golf events, but the stats show that those odds are too good to pass up.

Over his past 16 events, which starts with his win at the Arnold Palmer Invitational in March, Scottie Scheffler has won nine times.

That means betting on Scottie, or the team he is on (the US victory in the Presidents Cup), has resulted in bettors getting paid out more than half the time.

Overall, any golfer who has won more than half the events that they have played over an extended stretch like that is an incredible bet when given plus odds to win again.

What makes this an even better opportunity to bet on Scottie Scheffler at legal sports betting is that the Hero World Challenge has only 20 players in the event.

Outside of the Presidents Cup win in a two-team event, no other tournament has had less than 25 players that Scottie had to beat to win.

So, while the 2024 Hero World Challenge field features many of the top players in the world like Ludvig Aberg and Justin Thomas, there is no need to overthink it this week.

• Scottie Scheffler is the best bet to win with +225 odds.
