It avoids the inevitable pain of watching your guy sit the whole fourth quarter, only one point or rebound […]

The options in the PGA betting markets are wide, and while there are several ways to attack those markets, outright bets (or picks to win the tournament outright) are going to be a large part of the key focus in this article.
