Among last year's top five finishers from the Bermuda Championship, the golfer with the best odds to challenge for this year's title is Denny McCarthy. The 28-year-old is going off at 40-1 in the latest 2021 Bermuda Championship odds from Caesars Sportsbook. Defending champion, Brian Gay, checks in at 70-1 odds, after he's started the 2021-22 season by missing the cut at the Sanderson Farms Championship and withdrawing from the Shriners Children's Open.
Matthew Fitzpartrick enters the Bermuda Championship 2021 as the favorite to win his first PGA Tour title at 12-1 odds. He's followed by Christiaan Bezuidenhout (16-1) and Patrick Reed (22-1) on the PGA odds board. Before locking in your 2021 Bermuda Championship picks, be sure to see the golf predictions and projected leaderboard from the proven computer model at SportsLine.
SportsLine's proprietary model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been red-hot since the PGA Tour resumed last June. In fact, it's up almost $10,000 on its best bets since the restart, nailing tournament after tournament.
At the 2021 Open Championship, McClure's best bets included Collin Morikawa winning outright even though he was listed as a massive 40-1 long shot. He was also all over Daniel Berger (+220) and Emiliano Grillo (+700) finishing inside the top-20. McClure's best bets netted over $2,200 at the 2021 Open Championship.
In addition, McClure's model was all over Jon Rahm's (10-1) first career major championship victory at the 2021 U.S. Open. Rahm was two strokes off the lead heading into the weekend, but the model still projected him as the winner. And at the 2021 Masters, McClure nailed Rahm's (+250) top-five finish in his best bets, as well as Corey Conners' (+550) top-10 showing.
This same model has also nailed a whopping seven majors entering the weekend. Anyone who has followed it has seen massive returns.
Now that the 2021 Bermuda Championship field is locked, SportsLine simulated the event 10,000 times, and the results were surprising. Head to SportsLine now to see the projected 2021 Bermuda Championship leaderboard.
The model's top 2021 Bermuda Championship predictions
One major surprise the model is calling for at the 2021 Bermuda Championship: Patrick Reed, a nine-time PGA Tour champion and one of the top favorites, stumbles this week and doesn't even crack the top five. Reed has struggled mightily in his first two events of the 2021-22 season. In fact, Reed missed the cut earlier this month at the Shriners Children's Open and finished T-68 at the CJ Cup the following week.
The former Masters champion is often among the best putters on the PGA Tour, but he's been extremely inconsistent with the flat stick early this season. Reed enters the 2021 Bermuda Championship ranked 135th in strokes gained: putting (-.068), 137th in putting average (1.750) and 109th in total putting (214.8). Reed also ranks 172nd in greens in regulation percentage (66.67), 177th in birdie average (3,67) and 211th in scoring average (74.286). He's not a strong pick to win it all and there are far better values in the Bermuda Championship 2021 field.
Another surprise: Joseph Bramlett, a massive 50-1 long shot, makes a run at the title. Bramlett has had relatively pedestrian results in the tournaments he's competed in this season, but he does have a couple of things working in his favor.
At just over 6,800 yards, Port Royal Golf Course isn't one of the tour's longest, but Bramlett is currently third on the PGA Tour in average driving distance (335.4 yards). His driving accuracy has been a bit off, but without having to cover as much ground off the tee, he should be able to hit fairways at a higher rate than he has to start the season. Bramlett has just two top-10 finishes in his career, making him an excellent under-the-radar pick for your 2021 Bermuda Championship bets.
How to make 2021 Bermuda Championship picks
The model is also targeting five other golfers with odds longer than 35-1 who will make surprising runs, including an epic long shot going off higher than 50-1. Anyone who backs these long shots could hit it big. You can only see them here.
