Byron Nelson Tournament Matchup Picks

Some of the biggest guns in golfing, including Vijay Singh and Justin Leonard, will try their hand at the TPC Four Seasons Resort Las Colinas, in Irving, Texas, for this week’s PGA Tour Event, the Byron Nelson Championship.

Vijay Singh finished 9th at TPC Sawgrass. It was his best finish of the year and perhaps a sign that things have turned around for him.

In any case, like almost all PGA Events, the BetUS online sportsbook is offering wagering on Tournament Matchups.

Let’s analyze the best Tournament Matchups in this week’s event.

Golf Betting: Byron Nelson Championship Tournament Matchup

1. Kevin Na -115 vs. Charlie Wi -115 - - This is an easy one in my mind because even though Na is up there at +5000 to win, his odds should be closer to +2500. In his last two tournaments, Wi has been awful. He finished 40th in the Valero last week and missed the cut at TPC Sawgrass. Compared to Na, who has five top tens this year including a 3rd at TPC Sawgrass in his last start, and Wi looks like a terrible underlay.

Pick: Kevin Na at -115

2. Brian Davis -110 vs. Jonathan Byrd -120 - - The golf odds are strange in this one as Davis has had 16 straight rounds of par or better and finished 5th at TPC Sawgrass and 5th at the Valero Open last week. Byrd is a decent golfer with 4 top 20 finishes in his last 6 tournaments, but Davis is absolutely on fire right now. I see Davis winning this matchup.

Pick: Brian Davis at -110

3. David Toms -115 vs. Justin Leonard -115 - - Leonard finished 5th in the Valero last week but before that he finished 32 at TPC Sawgrass, 48th at the Verizon Heritage, and missed the cut at the Masters. Toms missed the cut at the Shell Houston Open a few weeks ago, but since then he’s been very good with a 5th place finish in the Zurich Classic, an 18th place finish at Quail Hollow and a 9th place finish at TPC Sawgrass. He’s the play because he’s more consistent than Leonard.

Pick: David Toms at -115

4. Brian Gay -130 vs. Davis Love III Ev - - Gay just didn’t have it at TPC Sawgrass and withdrew after a first round of 80, but before that he was exceptional in the Verizon Heritage when shooting a 20 under. Davis Love III missed the cut at TPC Sawgrass but before that had two top 25 finishes in a row at Quail Hollow and the Verizon Heritage. If Gay is on his game, then forget it, this guy is really good, but if he’s not, then Love has a shot. I have to go with Gay.

Pick: Brian Gay at -130
