Golf fans are lucky once again, as there’s two PGA Tour events taking place this week, and we want to dive into the best Myrtle Beach Classic odds. Canadian Mackenzie Hughes opened as the slight favorite, and remains as the favorite, although you might want to pay more attention to the Myrtle Beach Classic sleeper picks. And lastly, with the Myrtle Beach Classic cut line in play, it’ll add some extra excitement to see which golfers make it to the weekend rounds.
In search of his first win since the 2022 Sanderson Farms Championship, Hughes arrives in South Carolina in search of the third win of his career. Prior to missing the cut at last week’s CJ Cup Byron Nelson, the 34-year-old had posted the best results of his season by finishing in 10th place at the Houston Open and following it up with a tie for third place at the RBC Heritage. For the 56th ranked player in the world this will mark his debut at the event which is just in its second year of existence.

Tom Kim | +40000 at FanDuel sportsbook
With 3 PGA Tour victories in just 79 events entered, the South Korea star is only beginning to scratch the surface of his talents. A tie for seventh place at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am highlights the season for the 22-year-old who is searching for some consistency in his game this year. Kim had seven top 25 results last season but has just one to his credit this season as outside of his performance at Pebble Beach his next best result is a tie for 36th. Making his debut in Myrtle Beach, it’s hard to fully support the youngster as his game has been too up and down to truly back this week.
Thorbjorn Olesen | +9000 at FanDuel sportsbook
Making the 86th start of his PGA Tour career the Denmark legend still sits without a victory or runner-up finish since joining the big show. A more than impressive 8 wins on the European Tour shows what type of skill the 35-year-old offers, he’s just been unable to translate that play into success in North America. Olesen has wins in three straight seasons in Europe and is no stranger to wins so it feels like just a matter of time before he figures it out on this side of the pond.
The defending champion returns this week after winning the inaugural event last season and while he sits 194th in the official world golf rankings, the 25-year-old cannot be ignored this week. After missing the cut in seven of the first 10 events to begin the season, the Maryland native has posted an impressive four top 18 results in his last five events including a tie for 15th at last week’s CJ Cup Byron Nelson. As far as current form goes, there may not be anyone in the field heading into this week on a better role as he looks to go back-to-back in South Carolina.

Taylor Moore | +7000 at FanDuel sportsbook
With one career win to his credit at the 2023 Valspar Championship the 31-year-old has been struggling in recent weeks as he looks to regain some of the form that saw him get off to a great start to the season. The University of Arkansas star started off the year by making the cut in four of the first five events and posting a tie for seventh at The American Express and then finishing tied for ninth at the WM Phoenix Open. Another player making his Myrtle Beach Classic debut, Moore has missed the cut in his last three events having posted just one round in the 60’s in his last eight rounds.
Myrtle Beach Classic Nelson longshot
Alejandro Tosti | +1400 at FanDuel sportsbook
We’re going back-to-back weeks on the Argentinian as a longshot as weekend scores of 74-74 derailed his chances at competing at last week’s CJ Cup Byron Nelson. Prior to that the 28-year-old was coming off a tie for fifth place, a tie for 12th place and a tie for second place in his last three stroke play events. Teeing it up for just the 46th time on the PGA Tour the 127th ranked player in the world is searching for his first victory.
Myrtle Beach Classic betting trends
There are not that many betting trends when it comes to the Myrtle Beach Classic, but there is one thing that seems apparent over its one-year history. Defending champion Christopher Gotterup posted a 22 under par score and low scoring should be prevalent this week as well. Look for the winning score to once again creep into the 20’s as players go searching for birdies in South Carolina.

Myrtle Beach Classic debutants
Aldrich Potgieter | +8000 at FanDuel sportsbook
The South African future star has certainly had his ups and downs as he enjoys his first go around on many tracks as he gets set to participate in just his 18th event on the PGA Tour. A season and career best result at the Mexico Open highlights his year and the learning experience as he entered that final round with the lead should prove to be invaluable going forward.
How to read the Myrtle Beach Classic betting odds
Reading the Myrtle Beach Classic betting odds is just as easy as reading the odds for any other golf tournament or sporting event. In golf, there are numerous ways to bet, from player matchups to whether a certain golfer will make any number of birdies or eagles in a round.

How to bet on the Myrtle Beach Classic
There are many ways to bet on the Myrtle Beach Classic this week. One bet that stands out however is that Mackenzie Hughes will be in the final pairing come Sunday. The Canadian is one of the more veteran players in the field and should come out firing this week. A $10 bet at +1200 would give you back $120 if the tournament favorite can tee it up in the final group this weekend.

What is the course record at the Dunes Golf and Beach Club?
In the final round of the 2024 event Thorbjorn Olesen shattered the course record by shooting a blistering round of 61. The 10 under par score was led by a front nine score of 29 that saw the Danish star record six birdies on the opening nine holes. Olesen finished the round with a closing birdie on the 18th hole for his 10th birdie of the day and ended his bogey free round.
How long will the Myrtle Beach Classic be an event on the PGA Tour?
In May of 2023 the PGA Tour announced a four-year deal with the Dunes Gold and Beach Club to host the event starting in 2024. The event is played opposite of the Truist Championship which is one of the premier events on the golf calendar. Due to this Myrtle Beach Classic doesn’t attract the games’ biggest stars but it’s a fantastic opportunity for someone to breakthrough with their first career win.
