Bellus' Best Bets for PGA Championship

For the first time since 2007, the PGA Championship returns to Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa, Okla., this week. 

Golf’s second major of the season brings us a loaded field with contenders and compelling storylines left, right and centre. 

Chatter around golf circles seem to come back to two places this week. The winds are expected to play a factor. And the smaller-than-tour-average greens are protected by bunkers and runoffs instead of thick rough, which will significantly emphasize a player’s short game. 

With that in mind, I’m hunting golfers that can dial it in on approach but also get it up-and-down when needed. 

With the size of the greens being so small, I’m putting less of an emphasis on putting this week. 

Instead of breaking down just one player this week, I wanted to take you all through my card. 

I’ll highlight my plays and display how many “units” I’ll be placing on each wager. 

A unit is the dollar amount placed on a wager, with the dollar amount remaining consistent on each bet.

So if you are someone that usually puts $10 on every bet, and you put $5 on a wager, that would be a 0.5 unit play. 

I have a few names circled with great value in the Finish Position markets, two former major champions with incredibly long outright numbers that have me intrigued and a few quick hits in the outright market at the end. 

With all that in mind, let’s go through my card for this week’s PGA Championship and deploy some units! 

Corey Conners Top 20 +220 (0.75 units / 0.25 units +5500 outright) 

Conners has finished inside the Top 20 five times in his last six majors. 

One of the better pure ball-strikers on tour, this course should give Conners a lot of chances to score this week.
