Odds To Win: 2018 Genesis Open

0
Open Championship Odds Jordan Spieth Dustin Johnson

The PGA Tour tees it up this week at historic Riviera Country Club for the 91st edition of the L.A. Open, currently titled the Genesis Open.

The long-running tournament is the final stop on the PGA Tour’s seven-event “West Coast Swing,” and the field in Pacific Palisades, California is loaded with some of the biggest names in the game – none bigger than tournament host Tiger Woods.

The 138-player field at Riviera also includes defending champion Dustin Johnson, along with superstars Jordan Spieth, Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas, and Phil Mickelson.

Despite a top-heavy, star-studded field, the bookmakers have made Johnson the clear favorite. The World No. 1 has been given odds of 5-1 to win his second-straight title in Los Angeles. No one else in the field has odds better than 10-1.

The three remaining top 10-ranked players in the field are not surprisingly listed as the next three favs, including McIlroy (11-1), Spieth (12-1), and Thomas (16-1).

Top-10 machine Paul Casey is next with odds of 25-1, alongside two-time tournament winner Mickelson. Race to Dubai champion Tommy Fleetwood (28-1) rounds out the players with odds under 30-1.

Our payoff pick this week is Pat Perez at 50-1. The 41-year old Arizona State product has a world ranking of 19 (10th best in the field) and yet has the same odds as a player like Bubba Watson (No. 117), who is about a handful of missed-cuts away from the Web.com Tour. In six starts this season, Perez has produced three top-5 finishes, including a win at the CIMB Classic.
