Rahm Tops PGA Best Players Odds

The Spaniard Leads the FedEx Cup

There is always a debate about who is the best golfer in the world, so we look at the stats and the PGA best players odds.

We take into account the FedEx Cup, world ranking, and season earnings before The Memorial this week, which is one of the biggest tournaments.

It follows on from the PGA Championship, which was taken out by LIV’s Brooks Koepka.

Rahm’s Winning Mood

Jon Rahm is already a four-time winner in 2023, but it’s not enough to see him take the world’s number-one spot.

However, it’s enough to secure him the lead in the FedEx Cup, where the big money is won at the end of the season.

The Spaniard started the year with a win in the Sentry Tournament of Champions, before adding wins in The American Express, Genesis Invitational, and the Masters.

His golf odds were respectable in the Masters, especially when being Koepka entering the final round. Bettors were able to cash in the value, and Rahm could be at value odds again throughout the year.

With 2992 FedEx Cup points from just 13 events. Rahm has separated himself from the likes of Scheffler and Max Homa, who have played more golf.

Winning four times should give him a sizable lead, and he’s a good wager with PGA best players odds.

He recently weighed in on the LIV debate, and how it affects the upcoming Ryder Cup.

“It’s a little sad that politics have gotten in the way of such a beautiful event,” Rahm admitted. “Again, it’s the best Europeans against the best Americans, period. And whatever is going on, who is playing LIV and who is not playing LIV to me, shouldn’t matter. It’s whoever is best suited to represent the European side.”

Scheffler’s Consistency Rewarded

There is always a concern when betting on Scheffler, who has gone winless for nine of the 12 calendar months throughout his career.

The American has yet to win from May through to January, but he always puts himself in the mix, and that’s why he’s the best-ranked player in the world.

He has played 15 events in 2023 for two wins and 11 top 10. He’s supremely consistent, and that was evident last week when finishing one shot behind the winner at the Charles Schwab Challenge.

Despite winning only half the times of Rahm, he leads the prize money list with $14.913 million. He has finished in the top 25 in all but one of his 15 tournaments, which is terrific golf.

We believe players who win deserve to be ranked higher than consistent golfers, but it’s such a tight race at the top, and Scheffler is being rewarded for playing more golf than the likes of Rahm and Rory McIlroy.

Scheffler is one of the PGA best players odds with bookmakers, and he’s fancied to win the Memorial.

McIlroy Missing in Action

McIlroy has played only nine PGA Tour events this year, which is easily the lowest of any golfer in the top 10 PGA Tour money list.

The Northern Irishman has won $5.9 million after nine events, which is an impressive feat. He owns one win and four top-10 finishes, so when he has played, he hasn’t been far away.

He has played only 28 rounds compared to Scheffler’s 56, so he should be fresh and ready to fire for the second half of the year.

The former world number one has slipped to third in the world rankings, which isn’t surprising. He has earned nearly $10 million less than Rahm and Scheffler, so being inactive has been costly with his bank manager.

However, McIlroy is always a winning hope, so he could win at least once or twice more in 2023.
