Kurt Kitayama headlines a respectable 156-man field at Tahoe Mountain Club in Truckee, Calif., this week as the outright betting favorite by the Barracuda Championship odds. This is the PGA Tour's only Modified Stableford event, running opposite the British Open odds.

Kitayama's betting odds of +2000 at DraftKings represent an implied win probability of 4.76% he'll win the 2025 Barracuda Championship.

Kitayama enters this week at No. 100 in the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) and as the betting favorite to win the Barracuda Championship with the world's best golfers participating in 2025's final major. He tied for fifth in the John Deere Classic as his last event and that matched his best result of the calendar year.

The American hasn't played this event at Tahoe Mountain Club since a missed cut in 2020 - his only appearance here to date. However, he ranks 30th on the PGA Tour in birdie average this season (4.08 per round), making him a quality fit for this scoring format.

Still, I'd avoid betting on the favorite this week. This tournament favors long-shot picks due to the format. Check back tomorrow for my best bets to win the Barracuda Championship.
