The LPGA Tour isn’t done for the season just yet, despite the conclusion of the regular season and presentation of season-long honours. This week, spectators will have the opportunity to witness the top players from the LPGA Tour compete with their PGA Tour counterparts at one last event in Naples, Florida. The highly awaited LPGA and PGA Tour co-sanctioned Grant Thornton Invitational 2023 has arrived and we have all the best betting action ahead of the weekend’s play.
The Grant Thornton Invitational is set to span three days of team competition, with each day showcasing a distinct format. The 32-player field, comprised of 16 mixed teams, boasts some top talent from both the PGA and LPGA Tour. With big names like Tony Finau and Nelly Korda teaming up, fans can expect some glorious golf and unexpected results with some serious superstars competing.
We break down the latest betting odds from bookmaker William Hill and outline the best bets to make ahead of the 2023 Grant Thornton Invitational this weekend.
※ Current Odds Date & Time: December 7th, 10:00 A.M. (GMT)
Looking at the outright betting odds, the duo of Korda and Finau are the favourites at bookmaker William Hill with odds of 6.00. Behind these two, Sagstorm and Aberg aren’t far behind on the bookmakers’ list, sitting at 7.00. These two are well ahead of the rest of the field, with the next best combo being Hull and Rose on odds of 11.00. Khang and McCarthy plus Henderson and Conners round out the top five betting favourites, tied on 12.00.
Odds for a top five finish follow a similar pattern across the top three betting favourites, with Korda and Finau setting the pace at 1.91. Fowler and Thompson bunny hop their way into contention as well, however, returning 2.50.

In terms of the best bets to make ahead of the Grant Thornton Invitational this weekend, Nelly Korda and Tony Finau are by far the safest bets when it comes to this tournament. Korda is a bonafide star at world No. 4 on the LPGA Tour and comes into this event with two top 10 finishes in her past three starts on tour. Finau, on the other hand, picked up two titles in the latest PGA Tour season and made a T4 finish at his most recent outing in Albany at the Hero World Challenge.
Rivaling these two, the next best bet we see would be taking a punt on Aberg and Sagstrom to come through on their own personal form. Aberg has been flying high since the Ryder Cup recently, while Sagstrom made a respectable T16 at the CME Group Tour Championship. While this pair is unlikely to topple Finau and Korda, a top five bet at 2.00 wouldn’t be the worst wager in the world.
