PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. – The AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am is the second PGA Tour signature event of the season.

After many top players withdrew from last week’s Farmers Insurance Open, it is exciting to see guys like Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, and Jordan Spieth back on the top of odds boards at legal sports betting sites.

AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am Odds

• Scottie Scheffler +500
• Rory McIlroy +1200
• Collin Morikawa +1400
• Justin Thomas +1400
• Patrick Cantlay +1600
• Ludvig Aberg +2000
• Hideki Matsuyama +2200
• Sungjae Im +2500
• Jason Day +3500
• Sam Burns +3500

One interesting way to bet on this week’s tournament is by using PGATour.com’s new course fit tool. The tool uses historical data to identify five strokes gained categories that have the strongest correlation to success at a specific event. For the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, those categories are:

• SG Putting from 4 to 8 feet
• SG Putting from 4 feet or less
• SG Putting from 8 to 20 feet
• SG Approach from the Fairway
• SG Off the Tee on Par 5s

Low scores are best when using this tool. The five golfers with the best scores are outlined below.

Sam Burns with +3500 odds and Taylor Pendrith with +5000 odds at PGA Tour betting sites certainly stand out as strong options with this new tool.

Another way to use the course fit score tool is to bet on tournament matchups.

Some of the tournament matchup odds at Bovada that stand out based on the projected course fit score include:

• Taylor Pendrith (-115) over Corey Conners: Pendrith has the second-best course fit score (17), while Conners ranks tied for 33rd (37)
• Collin Morikawa (-115) over Justin Thomas: Morikawa has the third-best course fit score (18) in the field, while Thomas’s 37 score ranks tied with Corey Conners for 33rd
• Sepp Straka (-115) over Russell Henley: Straka is tied with Harry Hall with a 24 course fit score, which is 6th best in the field. Henley has a 39course fit score that is tied for 39th
• Wyndham Clark (-130) over Jordan Spieth: Clark has the fifth-best course fit score in the entire event, with that score being 20. Spieth has the fourth-worst course fit in the event, which is 57.

Given the newness of this PGA Tour Course Fit projection system, the results for betting on the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am may be mixed. But, given the significant splits between how well some players rank compared to their counterparts, now may be the best week to take advantage of the course fit projections before online sportsbooks start adjusting their odds.
