Bryson DeChambeau and Aaron Rodgers continue to hold steady as the relatively large favorites at -177 at DraftKings. Phil Mickelson and his partner, Tom Brady, are the +130 underdogs.
In an event that’s more about entertainment than competition, maybe it’s no surprise most of the bets are coming in on the underdogs. At BetMGM, almost 90% of all bets are on Mickelson and Brady. Just 14.8% of dollars bet are on DeChambeau and Rodgers.

The format will be modified alternate shot. The pros will tee off from the back tees with the quarterbacks playing the forward tees. The teams choose which tee shot to take and alternate shots from there. It’s match play scoring with no carryovers.
There are other ways to get involved beyond just picking the winner. DraftKings is offering prop bets including the team leading after each of the 3rd, 6th, 9th, 12th and 15th holes. Par 3 props include all players making the green with the tee shot (+600 Yes on Hole 2, -1250 No).
What will nerves be like for the quarterbacks? Neither Rodgers or Brady hitting the fairway on the opening drive is +210. One of them hitting the fairway is -305.
Think Phil can outdrive Bryson? He’s +140 to do so on each of Hole 6 and Hole 8.
