What’s next on the PGA & LPGA Tour?

Canadian Open

The PGA Tour heads to Toronto, Ontario for the Canadian Open which is the third oldest tournament on the PGA calendar. Rory McIlroy will be looking to become the 7th player to successfully defend his championship and sits at 10/1 against a loaded field that includes Scottie Scheffler and Justin Thomas both at 9/1. Sam Burns sits at 14/1 along with Cameron Smith. Our pick this week is Shane Lowry at 20/1. Lowry has been near the top of the leaderboard frequently and finished second in this event last year.

LPGA Classic Odds

And finally on the LPGA tour is the three-day LPGA Classic where the defending champion is Celine Bouttier who sits at 18/1. World number one Jin Young Ko is the 9/2 favorite

LIV Invitational and Dustin Johnson quit the Tour

A new tour making its debut is the Saudi Arabian backed LIV Invitational taking place in London and Dustin Johnson is a prohibitive 4/1 favorite in a field that is made up of older players who struggle on the PGA tour, Europeans looking for big payouts, and one fifty one-year-old Californian named Phil Mickelson. The players are facing a ban by both the Euro and PGA tours but will be rewarded with a generous guaranteed payout and upfront cash.
