There are plenty of reasons why betting on golf has become so popular and were going to look at the reasons throughout this article. When online betting became available it allowed the average golf fan to wager on numerous different outcomes of the major golf tournaments. As the popularity of betting on golf grew the number of events that cappers could wager on also grew. You can now wager on several of the major golf tours around the world using an online sportsbook. Some of the golf tours that you can wager on include the following.

· PGA Tour

· LPGA Tour

· European Tour

· Seniors Tour

The two most popular tours to wager on in golf are the PGA Tour and LPGA Tour although if you know more about the other tours then you should bet on what you know. The PGA Tour features 40+ events every season although only a handful of them are considered major tournaments. Often the best tournaments to bet on in golf are the major tournaments because all of the good players are playing and trying their best. When you start wagering on the smaller tournaments on the tour you’ll find that many of the big name golfers aren’t competing because they’re resting or practicing for the major events. There are four major golf events every season which include the following.

· Masters Tournament

· US Open Championship

· The British Open

· PGA Championship

The LPGA Tour doesn’t receive nearly as much attention as the PGA Tour does, but there are often more valuable bets found on the women’s tour. The reason why I say that there is more value on the LPGA Tour is because the competition on the tour is a lot more spread out. You can easily identify some easy match-up bets every week on the women’s tour if you do a bit of research. You don’t need to pick who will win the tournament all the time because this is going to be difficult, but there are many different types of bets you can make which we’re going to look at on the golf betting odds page. The four major LPGA Tour events are as followed.

· Kraft Nabisco Championship

· McDonald’s US LPGA Championship

· US Women’s Open

· Ricoh Women’s British Open

Betting on gold wouldn’t be nearly as popular if all you could do is bet on what golfer you think is going to win the event. This is always a fun bet to make and you should always make a small bet on the golfer you think is going to win the event. However, there are other bets in golf that are easier to win such as picking a golfer to place in the top 5 or picking a golfer to win out of a group of 4-5 golfers. Picking a winner out of 4-5 golfers is a lot simpler then picking a winner out of over a 100 golfers. The payouts will be smaller, but a smaller payout is better then not receiving a payout.
