The smorgasbord of golfing action continues on the 2022-23 PGA Tour as the best in men’s golf head to Dublin, Ohio this week for the Memorial Tournament 2023. Less than a fortnight after the year’s second Major concluded and already the Tour’s top six men are packing into the same event again, vying against each other for their share of the US$20,000,000 prize money on offer.
Scottie Scheffler has yet again put the Tour on notice that he’s Mr. Consistent in 2023 making another top five finish at the US PGA Championship. However, if he wants to raise his third trophy of the season at Muirfield Village Golf Club on Sunday, the American will need to repel some stiff competition. Both Rahm and McIlroy will be desperate for a win, while Patrick Cantlay comes to Ohio with fond memories of victory in 2019 and 2021.
We break down all the best bets to make on the 2023 Memorial Tournament with the latest odds from bookmaker William Hill.
※ Current Odds Date & Time: May 30th, 1:30 A.M. (GMT)
Bookmaker William Hill has two clear favourites ahead of the Memorial Tournament 2023—Scotties Scheffler and Jon Rahm. It’s a story we’ve heard before in 2023, with these two well ahead of the rest of the field on 7.50 and 8.00 respectively. Next in the outright betting odds is two-time champion Patrick Cantlay at 11.00, who has Rory McIlory breathing down his neck at 13.00 as well. Perennial top five player Xander Schauffele rounds out the favourites, paying 15.00 for a win this weekend.
We suggest several bets ahead of the first tee this Thursday in Dublin, Ohio. Firstly, back Scottie Scheffler to yet again make a deep run. The evidence is undeniable—since October 2022, the American has not finished worse than T12 across his last 14 events. Of these 14 tournaments, eight times Scheffler has made the top five, twice lifting the trophy. Backing the 26-year-old to at least make the top five here is a wise bet and pays good money too at 2.70 still.
It’s Patrick Cantlay that we believe will lift the trophy on Sunday, however. The American has also been consistent this year without blowing anyone away. His five top five finishes and most recent T9 performance at the US PGA Championship indicate that he’s striking the ball well and primed for a result. What better stage to get a result than the course where he’s won twice in the past four years and was one shot off the course record in 2019.
At 11.00, we say that Patrick Cantlay is the best bet to make on the Memorial Tournament 2023.
