One of the things that I love about golf is that it is truly an international game. You ever try talking baseball to a guy from Scotland? Doesn’t work. Golf? That’s another story.
The game is popular around the world and that has lead to a lot of great players entering the game from around the world. 2021 saw the first ever Japanese man to win the Masters when Hideki Matsuyama did it. There are new players entering the game from all over the world and they are very good at the game.
Picking a winner in golf is tough with such large fields, but one option that we now have is betting on golfers strictly from a certain nationality or country of origin. I don’t know if Rory McIlroy will be the best golfer in a tournament, but there’s a very good chance he’ll be the top Irish golfer. You can bet on that as well as many other countries of origin.
This article is going to get into this betting market with more on how to bet them and where to bet them.
Where To Bet PGA Top Golfer by Nationality:
America: Bovada has betting odds on PGA Top Golfer by Nationality, top-5, top-10, make the cut, and so much more. A great place to bet on golf.
Everywhere Else: One of the top sportsbooks for betting on golf is Bet365 Sportsbook. They offer a ton of betting options on every event including PGA Top Golfer by Nationality.
What is PGA Top Golfer by Nationality betting?
In addition to outright odds on golfers, sportsbooks will also set odds on the top golfers by their country of origin. In this case, you are not betting on how high the golfer finishes overall, but only how they are going to finish against the people of their nationality or country of origin.
For example, you could bet on a European and that player could finish 30th. As long as 30th is higher than any other European, you win.
A few of the options for betting on golfers by nationality are:
Top American golfer: A bet on the best golfer from America.
Top Rest of the World golfer: By rest of the world they mean “non-Americans”. Classic Americans, eh? Think the world revolves around them.
Top Canadian golfer: There aren’t a ton of Canadian golfers on the tour. Adam Hadwin and Corey Conners are two good bets here.
Top European golfer: This is always one of the most competitive categories as so many great players come from this continent, from John Rahm to Rory McIlroy to Tyrrell Hatton.
Top English golfer: Another competitive category with great golfers like Tommy Fleetwood, Justin Rose, Paul Casey, and Matt Fitzpatrick.
Top Irish golfer: If you’re not betting on Rory McIlroy here, you have to look towards Shane Lowry or Graeme McDowell.
Top Asian golfer: A category covering all of the Asian countries. That’s a lot of players, but right now Hideki Matsuyama might be the best.
Top Japanese golfer: See above. If he’s the best in Asia, Matsuyama is also the best of Japan.
Top South Korean golfer: Si Woo Kim is always a great value here.
Top South African golfer: There are some excellent golfers out of South Africa, including Dylan Frittelli, Louis Oosthuizen, and Justin Harding.
Top South American golfer: It’s pretty rare for Sebastian Munoz not to be a major favorite in this category.
Top Spanish golfer: Rafa Cabrera Bello and Jose Maria Olazabal are two golfers who represent their countries well.
Common PGA Top Golfer by Nationality Questions:
How many different countries have had PGA Major champions?
This list is always changing, but there have been twenty different countries represented by a major winner.
The following countries have managed to have one golfer breakthrough with a major win: Canada (Mike Weir), France (Arnaud Massy), Italy (Francesco Molinari), Japan (Hideki Matsuyama), South Korea (Y.E. Yang), Sweden (Henrik Stenson), Wales (Ian Woosman), and Zimbabwe (Nick Price).
How to Bet PGA Top Golfer by Nationality:
Bovada: Head to the golf section of the website and find the tournament you are looking for. There will be a variety of betting options, keep scrolling until you find the nationality/country of origin betting options.
Bet365 Sportsbook: After clicking “Golf” on the left hand side of the page, you will see a list of betting odds. There will be many betting options, including country of origin.
PGA Top Golfer by Nationality Betting Strategy:
If you’re looking for an easy win, this is the bet for you.
While a category like Top English player will have a lot of competition, that is not the case with someone like top Canadian or top Spanish golfer. With that category you are only going to be dealing with a handful of golfers so you can really break down and analyze each one to see who might have the best day.
Variance can still happen, of course, but you are dealing with a lot less competition in the category.
