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

Zozo Championship at Sherwood Golf Betting History

Last year’s Zozo Championship was won by Tiger Woods, which makes this year’s tournament quite the attractive one from a betting perspective. Here is a look at the odds from the 2019 event, in terms of the top five:

Justin Thomas (+750)
Rory McIlroy (+800)
Hideki Matsuyama (+1600)
Adam Scott (+2000)
Paul Casey (+2200)

Last year’s winner was Tiger Woods, whose odds were 33:1 (+3300) to win the 2019 Zozo Championship. This means a $10 wager would have returned $330. After last week’s CJ Cup and these results from 2019, we can see that it is worth betting on golf!
