2015 Farmers Insurance Open Betting Odds

Carrie Stroup here with your 2015 Farmers Insurance Open betting odds and, let me say, this is an event that is really starting to gain traction within the world of bookmaking with some pretty decent betting action anticipated on this PGA tournament.

The PGA continues its west coast swing when they head to historic Torrey Pines Golf Course for the Farmers Insurance Open this week. They’ve been playing this tourney at Torrey Pines for the past 46 years and the duo of Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson have combined for 10 victories in this event since 1993. Woods has owned this course, winning five times in the past 11 years as he also took down the 2008 U.S. Open when it was held here. His recent struggles should open the door for plenty of other top golfers to fight for the top spot come Sunday as 13 players from the top-25 head to San Diego, with Justin Rose (5th in OWGR) being the top ranked. Last season, Scott Stallings won with a score of nine-under, just ousting five other golfers by a single stroke; including Aussies Jason Day and Marc Leishman. Stallings’ score was the worst for a winner here since the 1979 event as each of the previous four victors before Stallings had a score of 13-under or better. Let’s take a look through the field and highlight a few players who have a great chance at hoisting a trophy come the end of the weekend.

Will Tiger Woods Make The Cut is among the most popular bets at Sportsbook.ag this week.  You can place your bet here.

Jason Day:(+1150)

Day doesn’t always play a ton of events in the states, but is almost a guarantee to make the cut when he does. Day has gotten to the weekend in 34-of-35 tournaments since the start of the 2013 campaign as he’s earned seven top-three finishes over that period. With Torrey Pines being one of the longer courses on tour (7,659 yards), Day’s ability to crush the ball (300.3 yards per, 28th on tour) will get him into position to stick some greens, which he has done so with efficiency (77.1%, best on tour) over two U.S. events this year. Day should be near the top of the leaderboard once again and go for his third straight top-10 finish in this tourney.

Brandt Snedeker:(+2300)

Snedeker has had no issues navigating this course in the past, and besides a missed cut in last year’s installment, he has placed in the top-10 in each of the last four tries; including being the winner or runner-up three times. He also seems to be getting his stroke back after a down year, after placing 10th in three of the past four events behind his tremendous putting (.532 strokes-gained putting, 37th on tour) which has allowed him to one-putt 46.5% of the time (3rd on tour). 

Shane Lowry:(+12000)

Lowry does not get across the pond much with just 13 events played in the U.S. since the beginning of the 2013 season. He has two top-10 finishes in those tourneys and has been tearing up the European tour in the meantime with a top-16 placing in eight of his last 11 outings as he’s jumped to 45th in the World Golf Rankings. Look for the Irishmen to really start turning heads on the PGA tour this week.

Pat Perez:(+11000)

Perez is a risky pick as he can go off any week, but also can string together poor performances and miss plenty of cuts. He’s been on his game of late though, with five straight made cuts and placed 30th or better in his last three tourneys. His love of this course is evident as he has done no worse than 22nd since 2011 and was one of the five players to come in with an eight-under, second-place finish last year.

Iowa State: Are They The Underdogs To Look For In March Madness?

They may be defined as “underdogs” or “Cinderella teams”, a term that is usually saved for teams that have little to no chance of winning even a single game during the NCAA Tournament. Teams like Loyola Marymount (1990), George Mason (2006), Davidson (2008), VCU (2011), UConn (2014), and Loyola Chicago (2018) come to mind when conversations turn toward the most surprising tournament runs in recent memory.
