Betting Long Shots for The ZOZO Championship 2021

The Betting Approach for The ZOZO Championship 2021

Another sub 25/1 winner last week means another loss for the card. We're off to a decent start though as we've had a runner up, a T3, and 2 more in the top 5 on the card in the last 4 events. We've been close. Let's keep it moving as the PGA TOUR heads to Tokyo for the ZOZO Championship.

Yet again, it's a 78 man, no cut event where we last saw Tiger Woods take it down in 2019. The field is hot fecal matter with travel and COVID disincentivizing many players from coming over.

The sportsbooks have the O/U winning score line set at -18.5. Tiger won at -19, but only 9 players finished at -10 or better, and that was with a MUCH stronger field. I think the winning score falls under that projection and we see Accordia play a little tougher given the speed and undulation of these greens. Plus, the scrambling on this zoysia grass won't be easy.

This is NOT Your Mama's Betting Article

I bet on golf for fun. You should too. Life is too short to bet favorites! Therefore, I don't get the betting erection I crave betting guys at 18/1 or 9/1. I realize that may be the sharper way to do things, but F that. I've felt the rush of have a big triple digit winning golf bet hit...and Daddy likes!

Throughout the season, I'm going to show you my pre tournament bets, including what I'm risking, odds, and some brief logic behind the pick. I'm actually betting these guys. I'm taking $50 a week at $10 per unit to show you how I allot my dollars. Follow along, bet with me if you like, or completely fade everyone on this betting card. Up to you. I finished the 2019-2020 PGA Tour season up 10 units over 30 weeks & the 2020-2021 season up 41 units strictly betting the long shot outrights and first round leaders (nothing shorter than 25/1).

Long Shot Outright Bets for The ZOZO Championship 2021

I considered putting Rickie or Mav or Keegan on here, but it meant less players on the card. I just think in terms of betting the outrights this week, if you fade the very top with Kawa, X, Deki, Willy Z...you may as well fade the next tier as well. The numbers from 25/1 to 50/1 are filled with players that have played a lot of golf already this season and are traveling from Vegas.

It made names like EVR, CT Pan, Schenk, List and Norlander a little more appealing to me. This may be one of the ugliest betting cards I've ever put out. This could be a great week to consider live betting if one of the big names up top gets off to a slow start after round 1 or 2. I'll be watching for Willy Z and Hideki specifically. If those 2 just don't see any putts drop early, but hit it well and their odds slip to the 30/1 range or longer, then I'm pouncing.
