Genesis Championship Tips & Predictions

Best Bet

Hideki Matsuyama @ $11.00

Bet Now

Matsuyama typically plays well at this time of the year, and that’s why he’s well-backed to win at Genesis Championship.

The conditions in South Korea should suit the Japanese golfer, and he comes off a tidy T20 finish at the Baycurrent Classic on the PGA Tour behind Xander Schauffele, which should be a good form guide for this tournament.

The 11-time PGA Tour winner scored a record win in The Sentry earlier this year when shooting –35, and it’s about time he got back to winning form. Take the $11 with bookmakers and include him in golf picks this week.

Next Best

Adam Scott @ $17.00

Bet Now

Australia’s Adam Scott has a good chance to get back to winning form at the Genesis Championship, and it’s good to see market confidence.

He is a $17 chance to score his first win since the 2020 Genesis Invitational on the PGA Tour. It could all be in the name, and he has DP World Tour wins in Asia on his record, so he won’t be worried by the conditions.

As a major winner, he can’t be overlooked, so take the value odds.

Best Value Bet

Daniel Hillier @ $41.00

Bet Now

New Zealand’s Daniel Hiller went close to winning in India last week. He had the outright lead with nine holes to go, but a few bad holes saw that lead slip.

However, it was still an encouraging performance from the Kiwi, who wasn’t overly suited by a course where driver wasn’t needed. He’s a powerful hitter, so the Genesis Invitational course should be right up his alley.

It’s good to see some betting support coming for him, especially after performing well and beating the likes of Rory McIlroy last week. That should give him enough confidence to play well again this week.

Best Roughie

Elvis Smylie @ $46.00

Bet Now

We have backed Elvis Smylie a few times this year without any success, but the young Australian has plenty of upside.

We believe he could be a Min Woo Lee-type player in the making, and if he performs well this week, that could increase his confidence for later in the year.

The 23-year-old didn’t play well in the Alfred Dunhill Links, but he has been given some time off, and he could come back stronger. Therefore, we’re happy to take the big odds available, which could shorten during the week.

Top 10

Joost Luiten @ $4.20

Bet Now

It was good seeing Joost Luiten back to his best last week in India when posting a top 10 finish, and he could back it up with another.

The DP World Tour stalwart had been struggling to show his best form, but he’s a classy player, and he’s never too far away from the prize in the lesser-known events.

This is a tough field with some PGA players, but he could be on the first page of the leaderboard.
