3 Best Value Bets For Zurich Classic From +2500 To +8000

The Billy Horschel/Tom Hoge pairing is the most valuable Zurich bet at +2500 odds considering Horschel’s course history and Hoge’s strong recent form. Billy Horschel earned his first PGA Tour win at TPC Louisiana back in 2013, then went on to win the team event in 2018 with Scott Piercy.

He later finished T-4 in 2021 and a runner-up here in 2022, so pairing his course success with a red-hot Tom Hoge offers great value at PGA Tour betting sites. Hoge has finished top 20 in four-consecutive PGA Tour events, including a T-14 finish at the Masters after back-to-back top five finishes at the Valero Texas Open and The Players.

While their recent form isn’t as impressive as the Horschel/Hoge pairing, Nick Taylor and Adam Hadwin have had too much success at TPC Louisiana to ignore at +3300 odds. The Canadian duo have great chemistry, finishing 10th here last year after a runner-up finish in 2023 and a T-13 in 2019.

Davis Riley and Nick Hardy are a solid longshot at +8000 odds after winning the Zurich Classic in 2023. The duo displayed the chemistry and skills necessary to win this event, so it’s worth a shot at BetOnline Sportsbook’s long +8000 odds.
