It is no surprise that Scottie Scheffler is the favorite at legal PGA Tour betting sites this week based on two points:
- Scheffler won the tournament last year by eight strokes after leading wire-to-wire.
- Scheffler is the only top 10 player in the World Golf Rankings who is playing in THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson this week. Aaron Rai, coming off his victory at the PGA Championship, is the second-highest-ranked player at 15th in the world.
But, despite playing at a golf course that he is the reigning champion on and in a field where he stands out as the best player by a considerable margin, Scottie Scheffler is not a good bet to win THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson at legal sports betting sites.
His odds are too short, he has not won a tournament since the American Express in January, and the odds for THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson drop off so much after him that there is a real chance for a huge payout if Scheffler underperforms this week.
Identifying which long shot will upset Scottie Scheffler at THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson is a much more difficult task, but bettors can sprinkle smaller bets on many different golfers in hopes of hitting it big.
Overall, the best bet for THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson at TPC Craig Ranch may be to simply not bet on Scottie Scheffler and pepper the rest of the board.
