Daniel Berger has become the favorite by this week's golf odds as we make our best Myrtle Beach Classic picks at our best golf betting sites. The PGA Tour debuts a new event at The Dunes Golf and Beach Club in Myrtle Beach, S.C.

The PGA Tour launches a new event this week with the Myrtle Beach Classic at The Dunes Golf and Beach Club in Myrtle Beach, S.C., being played opposite the Wells Fargo Championship and ahead of the PGA Championship with a 132-man field in tow.

South African Erik van Rooyen is the betting favorite by the Myrtle Beach Classic odds. Northern Irishman Rory McIlroy is the favorite by the Wells Fargo Championship odds for this week's Signature Event.

Scottie Scheffler, who's inactive this week, remains the consensus favorite by next week's PGA Championship odds.

Here's our breakdown of the Myrtle Beach Classic odds and from our best sports betting sites, as well as our best pick to win and top prop bets.

Myrtle Beach Classic pick to win

Matt Wallace

Wallace is coming off a T-4 finish in last week's CJ Cup Byron Nelson, in which he averaged 1.09 strokes gained: approach and 1.17 SG: around-the-green per round. His 2.74 SG: tee-to-green was the best mark among everyone who played all four rounds at TPC Craig Ranch. Wallace is also a long hitter off the tee, and that will play well at this lengthy par-71 venue. 

The Englishman is one of the most recent PGA Tour winners in this field. He won the 2023 Corales Puntacana Championship last March against a field comparable to this week's.

The +2800 odds from Caesars are much closer to where I'd price Wallace against this level of competition. The +3500 odds from DraftKings would return an extra $70 in profit on a winning $10 bet.

Best odds: +3500 via DraftKings

Myrtle Beach Classic prop bets

Callum Tarren to finish top 20

Tarren's game has been in disarray throughout the first four months of 2024, except for a T-23 finish in the Coralaes Puntacana Championship two weeks ago, which gives us some hope this week. He has missed nine of 12 cuts this calendar year and has slipped to No. 235 in the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR).

That said, Tarren is a consistently long hitter, and his putting stroke has been the most reliable part of his game this season. These alternate events often spark the game of those in attendance, so I'm looking to Tarren to drive his way to a quality finish this week.

Best odds: +500 via Caesars

How to bet on golf

When it comes to golf betting, it's essential to understand the various types of wagers available and how to assess player performance effectively. Begin by acquainting yourself with the common bet types, such as outright winners, each-way bets (which encompass both a win and a top finish), head-to-head matchups, and proposition bets tailored to specific tournament events, like hole-in-one occurrences or player performances on designated holes.

Once you've determined your preferred bet types, conduct thorough research on players, course conditions, recent form, and other pertinent factors that could influence outcomes. Delve into player statistics, recent tournament performances, course history, and any injuries or changes in form that may impact a player's chances of success. Armed with this information, you can make well-informed betting decisions and increase your likelihood of success in the realm of golf betting.
