Golf schedule and upcoming tournaments

The schedule for golf is unlike any other in professional sports. While similarly to other sports popular in Canada there is a regular season and playoffs, the strategies behind betting on them are far different.

Keeping up to date with the schedule, player trends, and tournament winners is necessary when wagering on the PGA TOUR, as is understanding the playoff system involved.

The FedExCup season for 2022-23 has 47 scheduled tournaments, featuring 44 season events including the four majors (the Masters, PGA Championship, U.S. Open, and British Open).

The season also has three FedExCup playoff tournaments, culminating with the crowning of the FedExCup champion at the TOUR Championship in August 2023.

In order to truly understand where and what to wager when betting on golf, you first need to understand the sport’s schedule. Let’s break down what this all means.

There are four major events or tournaments that occur throughout a PGA TOUR season. For 2023, they are scheduled as follows:

• The Masters: April 6 to 9, 2023 (Augusta National, Georgia, US)

• PGA Championship: May 18 to 21, 2023 (Oak Hill Country Club, New York, US)

• U.S. Open: June 15 to 18, 2023 (Los Angeles Country Club, California, US)

• British Open: July 20 to 23, 2023 (Royal Liverpool, Hoylake, England)

The Masters is the most popular of the four to wager on, as the iconic green jacket awarded to the winner is renowned throughout the sporting world. It brings millions of bettors to wager on several different types of market throughout the tournament. This, along with the three other majors, drive the most traffic from a golf betting standpoint.

The lines for each major are also open months in advance, so if you find value in a specific golfer, it’s best to pounce on their odds as soon as possible.
