People who like to bet on golf have many opportunities to do so because there are so many different tournaments that are held each year. Just some of the different tournaments in a regular season can include Transitions Championship, Masters Tournament, Players Championship, US Maters, Ryder Cup, the US Open, The Bob Hope Classic, Buick Invitational, Honda Classic, Arnold Palmer Invitational, John Deere Classic and many others.
There are also Playoffs, which are different types of golf tournaments, and some of these can include the Barclay’s or BMW Championship. There is massive corporate sponsorship associated with these games, as the names suggest, and it is no wonder with such big stars playing and the amount of the winning purse. Several million dollars are sometimes at stake in a championship tournament. This is certainly not bad for a few hours playing what is considered to be a fun and relaxing game.
There are also other tournaments during the course of each year which fall in the category of featured events, fall series or challenge events. Like the playoffs and the regular tournaments, these other tournaments offer many different options for betting as well as winning big money on individual golfers or groups.
One betting option is called the win single. The name itself really describes what this bet is, and this is no doubt the easiest and most basic of all the bets one can make on a golf game. A single individual is picked to win the tournament in a win single. Each Way Single is another type of bet. This is like a win single, but in this type of bet the people placing the bet would get a smaller return if their selected player manages to get a place in the event, for example by finishing in second place. The each way single is really two bets in one. First, it is a win single and it is a place single. And lastly there is a bet called the accumulator. This is where people can bet on more than one person, and all of the predictions on how they will do must occur in order to win this bet.
