PGA Championship Futures and Ante Post markets explained

PGA Championship outright winner betting is the primary PGA Championship futures betting market. Futures markets or Ante Post golf markets are those that involve a wager that is contingent on the full tournament result. This means the wager may be made well in advance the tournament, even months ahead of time. This differs from betting that surrounds a particular round or matchup that is dependent upon knowledge of the pairings which are set during the week of the PGA Championship itself. If you believe you know the golfer that will win, the best odds on your golfer of choice will always come before the tournament begins. If you wait until play begins the odds on any golfer in contention to win will certainly come down along with any potential payout.

Examples of golf’s PGA Championship outright winner odds expressed in American, Decimal and Fractional formats

For American odds, given how many golfers will be in the field, even the golfers that are relatively heavy favorites will have odds that are above even-money. This means that all the odds will come as positive figures. This expresses how much potential profit one could receive from a wager of $100. For example, when you see odds of +1,050 on Graeme McDowell to win outright, you would need to stake $100 in order to receive a profit of $1,050, yielding a total return of $1,150. Note that this use of $100 as an expression of odds pricing is just that, for purposes of expression. It is neither a limit nor a requirement of how much you may wager.

With Decimal odds format, the odds express the full potential amount that will be returned on your wager including the stake amount. For this, simply multiply the Decimal odds by the stake. For example, if Ricky Fowler is listed at 9.50 to win outright, a $100 bet would return a total of $950 including your stake, so the potential profit would be $850.

For Fractional format, the odds express the amount of potential profit that will be returned on a wager. For example, with a wager of $100 and odds of 35/2 on Jim Furyk to win outright (said thirty-five-to-two), one could see a profit of $1,750 (35 divided by 2, multiplied by $100) plus the stake amount for a total potential return of $1,850.
