The CJ Cup at Shadow Creek Golf Betting Guide: Odds to Win, Course Preview, Picks

Next up on the PGA schedule is the famous CJ Cup, which is normally played in South Korea. Of course with the coronavirus pandemic in 2020, the event will be played at Shadow Creek this year. This makes for back-to-back events in Las Vegas, as last week’s Shriners Open took place at TPC Summerlin. With the Shriners in the book, more of the popular golfers will likely be in the field for the CJ Cup, especially since it is stateside this year with quite the purse of nearly $10M. With the tournament taking place in Las Vegas, it makes for an added motivation for sports betting. Golf bettors, be ready as the 2020 CJ Cup will be a fun one from a wagering perspective. Here is a look at this week’s odds, preview, top sportsbooks and more.

Will Tiger Woods play this week at the CJ Cup?

I am excited to defend my title at the @zozochamp. It is disappointing that we will not be able to play in Japan this year, but Sherwood Country Club will be a great backdrop for what I know will be a great Championship. pic.twitter.com/bSvApTd4uD

With the Zozo Championship taking place one week after the CJ Cup, it is unlikely that Tiger Woods will play in the 2020 CJ Cup. Check out the field to be sure, though.
