Benny and the Bets: Five betting storylines to watch in FedExCup Fall
As the FedExCup Fall progresses, golf bettors have plenty of storylines to monitor. Here's a look at five key betting angles for the remainder of the season:
-
The Fight for Signature Event Status and TOUR Cards: Players ranked 51-60 after The RSM Classic will earn exemptions to top events like the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. This battle presents opportunities for bettors to focus on player form and betting on those motivated to secure their status for 2025. Recent examples include Patton Kizzire and David Lipsky, who jumped inside the top 125 after strong showings.
-
Potential Rising Stars: The fall season often serves as a proving ground for up-and-coming talent. Players like Luke Clanton, who has consistently made cuts and placed well, and PGA TOUR University grad Michael Thorbjornsen could offer solid betting value as they seek to build momentum.
-
Big Names Chasing Trophies: Despite already securing their spots, players like Collin Morikawa, Tom Kim, and Patrick Cantlay are likely to continue competing in events they enjoy, adding value for bettors looking to wager on these stars, especially in tournaments like the ZOZO CHAMPIONSHIP and the Shriners Children’s Open.
-
Comeback Players: The fall offers former winners, like Justin Rose, Matt Kuchar, and Rickie Fowler, a chance to return to form. Bettors can find value in betting on these players at longer odds, especially if they show signs of resurgence.
-
Presidents Cup Insights: Although outside the official FedExCup Fall, the Presidents Cup offers numerous betting opportunities. Track the performances of U.S. and International team members, as success here often translates into strong TOUR showings the following year, as seen with players like Tom Kim and Si Woo Kim.
For those engaged in responsible betting, understanding these trends and the players' motivations can provide an edge in wagering through the FedExCup Fall events.
