The final Sunday of a PGA event is always appointment viewing for me whether I have action on the event or not. The tension is usually high and every hole matters. The amount of pressure that is on the leader must be so intense. The highest pressure I get around my house is not overcooking the steaks on the grill.
An interesting betting prop for a PGA event that has nothing do with the actual winner is PGA Winning Margin. With this bet you aren’t betting on who wins, but how much the winner will win by. It’s a unique way to go about betting and the odds can be really great.
This article is going to expand on just what exactly PGA Winning Margin bets are, how to bet them, and where to bet them. Keep on reading, this one’s a lot of fun.
Where To Bet PGA Winning Margin:
America: BetOnline is the place to go if you are looking to bet on the winning margin of an upcoming PGA event.
Everywhere Else: A sportsbook with many great golf betting options, including PGA Winning Margin, is Bet365 Sportsbook. They have many options for PGA, LPGA, European Tour, and more.
What is PGA Winning Margin?
A bet on the PGA Winning Margin is not a bet on how much a particular golfer will win by. The bet actually has no names attached to it. The bet is simply on the finish of the tournament and the difference between the winner and the second place finisher.
There are multiple options given. Here’s what you can bet on in the PGA Winning Margin play:
Exactly 1 Shot: This means that the winner of the tournament will only win by one stroke. If they win by two or more, you lose.
Playoff needed: A bet on whether the score will be tied after four rounds of play, requiring extra holes.
4 shots or more: You are betting on a blowout, one golfer is going to lap the rest of the field.
Exactly 2 shots: A -2 difference between the winner and second place. -1 or -3 are losers, only -2 wins.
Exactly 3 shots: Just how it sounds, -3 only.
A great thing about betting on the PGA Winning Margin is that each bet has odds of +200 or higher. The bad thing about betting on it is that it is pretty hard to pick ahead of time.
Common PGA Winning Margin Questions:
What is the largest winning margin in PGA history?
The largest winning margin in a PGA tournament is 16. It has happened four times in history, but not since 1948. The four golfers to achieve this feat are Bobby Locke (1948 Chicago Victory National Open), Sam Snead (1936 West Virginia Closed Pro), Joe Kirkwood Sr. (1924 Corpus Christi Open), and J. Douglas Edgar (1919 Canadian Open).
The next highest, and the modern record, belongs to Tiger Woods who won the 2000 U.S. Open Championship by fifteen strokes.

PGA Winning Margin Betting Strategy:
The big thing I am looking for when I want to be on the winning margin is the course. When I am betting on this, I like to look for difficult courses where the scores are likely to be higher. I don’t want a course where people are going to get birdies on every hole. I’m looking for a course where the top score of the day is going to be like -1 or -2.
The lower the scores are, the less chance of one golfer breaking out from the rest of the pack. That makes a -1 or -2 finish more likely.
