Bromberg cautioned that Tiger Woods is absorbing 6% of tickets and 5.6% of money at +6600, enough to make him BetMGM’s biggest liability despite this being only his second start since the 2021 car crash. Public nostalgia, not current form, is driving the action, and Bromberg noted the sportsbook would suffer its worst one-event loss ever if Woods somehow wins a 16th major. With limited recent competitive reps and a price depressed by fan sentiment, Bromberg implied bettors looking for value should fade Tiger in the outright market and allocate units elsewhere.

Bromberg highlighted Jordan Spieth as the most-bet player by ticket count (8.8%) and second by handle (just under 12%) at +1600. Bettors are leaning into the narrative that a PGA Championship win would give Spieth the career grand slam, stacking on top of his Masters, U.S. Open and Open titles. Bromberg reminded readers that Spieth finished runner-up in the 2015 PGA Championship and remains one of the best major performers of his generation. The combination of historical ceiling, a still-palatable 16-1 number and a potential milestone has made Spieth the public’s preferred mid-tier outright wager.

Nick Bromberg said bettors are pouncing on Scottie Scheffler at +1200, noting that the Masters champ has drawn almost 15% of the outright handle and 8.7% of all tickets at BetMGM, easily the biggest financial endorsement in the field. Bromberg attributed that enthusiasm to Scheffler’s three 2022 victories (WM Phoenix Open, Arnold Palmer Invitational, the Masters) and his current No. 1 world ranking. With Scheffler already a co-favorite alongside Jon Rahm, Bromberg implied the price could shorten as the week progresses, making the early +1200 a value window for punters who want to ride the hottest golfer on the planet.
