Canada’s Top Golf Betting Sites in 2020

As soon as you click on to a golf betting site, you’ll be greeted by a huge choice of different ways you can bet on the latest action.

It doesn’t matter if you're used to decimal, American-style money line or British fractional odds. Our Odds Calculator below is the perfect tool to help you.

Some of the most popular golf bets are:

• 

  Tournament winner bets

  Without a doubt, the most popular golf bet. Who do you think will win the tournament?

  Sounds easy, doesn’t it? Well, it does until you bear in mind that most golf tournaments have a field of more than 100 professional players.

  And at the highest level golf is sensationally competitive, with the finest margins separating the winners from the also-rans.

• 

  First round leader bets

  This is a popular option for the shrewd bettor. If you know which players traditionally make a fast start, they could be your selection.

  Alternatively, it could be that the weather forecast suggests the earlier starters will play in easier conditions. This is a bet that cuts down the variables inherent in four rounds over four days.

• 

  Top 10 finish bets

  Beneath the top level of the sport, there are many players who make a very good living out of it without winning very often.

  Informed bettors will seek out the golfers who show great consistency in placing highly and back them accordingly.

• 

  Match bets

  It’s possible to bet on a match between two or three players who are in the same group. You can also bet on a virtual match between players who are not playing together.

• 

  Hole-in-One bets

  This is a straightforward choice. Do you think there will be an ace in the tournament or not? Again, this is a bet that rewards serious study of course trends and the players taking part in the event.

• 

  Future bets

  If you believe a player’s style is suited to a particular championship some time in the future, this could be a bet for you. The longer in advance you make your wager, the more attractive your odds should be.

• 

  Accumulators

  It’s now possible to bet on a host of outcomes within a tournament. You may decide on one player to win, another to miss the cut and a hole-in-one to be scored.

  There will be a bookmaker to accommodate you. However, remember all your outcomes have to occur before you can collect.

Today’s global betting industry is more competitive than ever. This means sportsbooks must come up with ever more inventive ways to attract and retain customers.

One visible and well-established way of pulling in new clients is bonuses. These fall into three categories:

• 

  Welcome Bonus

  • As soon as you become a sportsbook’s new customer, you tend to receive a free bet or a boost to your initial deposit
  • It is rare for a sportsbook not to offer a welcome bonus, such is the intense competitiveness of their industry
  • It’s worth taking some time to check the T&Cs – you need to be satisfied the bonus genuinely matches the headline
• 

  Enhanced Odds

  • When there’s a big golf event on the way, it’s time to keep watch for an offer of enhanced odds
  • In most cases these apply to the result of the event, but they can also apply to another popular market
  • Both new and existing customers should be offered these enhanced odds. Your stake may, however, be limited
• 

  VIP Club

  • One method in which sportsbooks persuade regular bettors to stick with them is an invitation to join a VIP club
  • Clients targeted in this way are being subtly made to feel elite and special
  • Club membership can earn free bets, access to special offers or enhanced prices that may not be available to newer customers

• 

  The Majors

  The Majors

  Four annual tournaments whose winners are guaranteed a place in the annals of golf. They are the Masters, the US Open, The (British) Open and the PGA Championship.

  These events are the highlights of the calendar for golf fans. Non-experts are captivated by the action too, which ensures online golf betting on these events is intense.

• 

  The PGA Tour

  The PGA Tour

  The highest level of the men’s professional game in North America. There are more than 40 events each year, with one staged in Canada.

  These are four-round strokeplay events, with an extremely tough and demanding level of competition.

• 

  The European Tour

  The European Tour

  With an exciting schedule of events and increasing levels of competition, the European Tour is closing on the PGA Tour in terms of stature.

  Tournaments are played virtually all year round, with several in the early months of the year especially actually staged outside Europe. These are usually co-sanctioned with other Tours.

• 

  The Asian Tour

  The Asian Tour

  Golf is incredibly popular in Asia, and the quality of the professional tour has risen steadily in recent years.

  There are now almost 20 events on the schedule, with prize funds big enough to attract elite players from across the continent and beyond.

• 

  The Ryder Cup

  The Ryder Cup

  This is a matchplay event held every two years between Europe and the United States. It provides thrilling entertainment and a host of betting opportunities.

  The Ryder Cup used to be played between Great Britain and the US. It was given fresh impetus by the addition of European players to the British side in the late 1970s.
