Betting the Cadillac Championship: Best bets, tips and more
Key Points:
- The PGA Tour returns to Trump National Doral's Blue Monster Course in Miami, a challenging 7,739-yard par-72 course with significant water hazards and demanding long holes, requiring players to drive long and straight and excel with long irons.
- Scottie Scheffler is the favorite to win, boasting dominant overall talent and consistency, though his approach play is a relative weakness; his odds reflect his high likelihood of a top finish, with outright win odds at +310 and top 5 at -148.
- Collin Morikawa is a strong contender with the best approach play in the field and solid recent form, making a Top 10 finish at +152 a valuable bet, though putting on Bermuda grass remains a slight concern.
- Hideki Matsuyama offers value as a top 20 bet (-110), leveraging strong long iron precision and positive Bermuda putting despite a weaker tee-to-green game.
- In daily fantasy, Akshay Bhatia is an intriguing pick due to excellent iron play and putting, despite lower driving accuracy, while Cameron Young and Alex Smalley are fades due to mismatches with the course's demands, particularly in long iron precision and approach play.
