If you're looking to have a flutter on the golf, you've landed in the right spot. Here at VivatBet in golf betting we’ve got every major tournament covered—the Masters, the PGA Championship, the lot. You can do the simple thing and back a favourite to win the whole thing, or get a bit more creative with our golf specials. Fancy a punt on an Irish lad to be top of the pile come Sunday? We’ve got you. And for new customers, there's a lovely welcome offer waiting to get you started. So, what are you waiting for?
How to Bet on Golf
Placing a bet on the golf is dead easy. First, you’ll need to sign up—it only takes a minute on your phone or laptop. Once you’re in and verified, pop in your first deposit and that welcome bonus is yours. Then, the fairway is yours. Find the tournament you fancy, have a look at the odds, and when you’ve made your choice, just pop it in your bet slip. It’s as straightforward as a tap-in putt.
Popular Golf Betting Markets
So, what can you actually bet on? Well, the classics never go out of style.
Tournament Winner (Outright): This is the big one. You’re simply picking the player you think will be wearing the green jacket or lifting the claret jug.
So even if he doesn't quite get the win, but puts in a solid show, you still get a return. Perfect for when you fancy an outsider.
Top 5/10/20 Finish: If you’re confident a player is in form but maybe not for the win, this is your bet. Less drama, but a great chance to see a return.
First-Round Leader: Because we all know the first day can be full of surprises. Who’s going to come out of the gates flying?
Match Betting (Head-to-Head): Forget the overall tournament. This is a straight shootout between two players. You just need your man to beat the other fella, plain and simple.
Top Nationality: Will it be an Irishman, an American, or an English player leading the charge for their country? This market lets you back the nation, not just the individual.
How do Golf Odds Work?
If you see a golfer at 10/1, what does it mean? It’s simple. For every €1 you put down, you’ll win €10 profit. So, a €10 bet at 10/1 would land you €100 profit, plus your original €10 stake back – €110 in total. The shorter the odds, the more likely we think it is to happen, but the smaller your return. The longer the odds, the bigger the risk, but the sweeter the payout.
What are the Top Golf Competitions
From the four Majors that every player dreams of winning, to the passion of the Ryder Cup, and right down to the weekly tours, if there’s a tournament on, you can bet on it at VivatBet.
The Four Majors
This is where legends are made. The atmosphere, the pressure—it’s a different game.
US Masters: Augusta National in April. It’s all about the Green Jacket. The course is a character itself, and we have markets on everything from the winner to the top Irish contender.
PGA Championship: A brutal test of golf. You can back the winner before it starts or jump in with a live bet as the drama unfolds on the back nine.
U.S. Open: They set the courses up to be brutal. Par is a great score here. It’s a proper grind, and we’ve got the odds for every twist and turn.
The Open Championship: There's nothing like it. The wind, the rain, the links courses. It’s pure, unpredictable golf. You’ll find all the best outright and specials markets for The Open right here.
Team Competitions
The Ryder Cup is pure theatre. It’s not about the prize money; it’s about pride. The format is different, the noise is louder, and the betting is electric. Will Europe or the USA bring it home?
Professional Tours
The story doesn’t end with the Majors. The PGA Tour and the DP World Tour run week-in, week-out, giving you a constant stream of action and chances to find value.
Golf Betting Strategy & Tips
Look, nobody has a crystal ball, but a bit of thinking can go a long way. Don’t just look at the world ranking. Check a player’s recent form - have they been playing well? Does the course suit them? Some players just have a love affair with certain tracks. And for the love of god, check the weather! A windy day at St. Andrews turns the whole tournament on its head and can make a 100/1 shot look like a steal.
Understanding In-Play Golf Betting
This is where you can really feel the pulse of the tournament. The latest golf betting odds move with every birdie and bogey. See a big name having a nightmare start? His price will drift, and you might get him at a huge number if you think he’ll fight back. You can bet on the tournament winner, the current round leader, or even who wins a specific three-ball group. It’s fast, it’s fun, and it lets you react to the action in real-time.
Common Golf Betting Promotions

Frequently Asked Questions
What is each-way betting in golf?
It’s your safety net. You're placing two bets: one for your golfer to win, and one for him to place (finish in the top positions, usually 5 or 6). If he wins, you win both parts. If he only places, you still get a return on the place part of your bet. It’s the smart way to back a player at a decent price.
What are the most popular golf betting markets?
Outright winner is the big one, but each-way is a very close second for shrewd punters. After that, people love the head-to-head match bets and the first-round leader market for a bit of early week excitement.
What is a prop bet in golf?
It’s a bet on something specific that might happen within the tournament, not just who wins. Think: "Will there be a hole-in-one?" or "Will a certain player finish in the top 10?" or even "Who will win the clash between Player A and Player B?".
How do I bet on a golf tournament?
Easy. Log into your VivatBet account, find the golf section, and pick your tournament. Browse the markets, click the odds you like, enter your stake in the bet slip, and confirm. Then you can sit back, watch the action, and see if your knowledge pays off.
