Wells Fargo Championship Golf Betting Info
Some big guns are out in the field for PGA action this week, quite a few of them in fact. So there are some big favourites to be backing in the field. Rory McIlroy will again attempt to get his season back on track, but Quail Hollow is well populated with a strong chasing pack. Big spotlights on The Green Mile, the last three holes of the course and there have been some changes from last season. Some accurate driving off the tee would go a long way at this course.

Wells Fargo Championship Golf Betting Favourite
Rory McIlroy goes as favourite this week and he is the course record holder, with a round of 62. This was the site of his first ever PGA Tour title, back in 2010 and he went close to his second Wells Fargo title last year when he lost in a play off. In between that, he bombed and missed the cut in 2011. He hasn’t been seen in competitive action since the Masters, so will he come out fresh and ready, or still lacking that sharpness? It’s not really been a season to remember so far for McIlroy, can he make it count here? McIlroy is 8/1 favourite at online bookmaker Bet Victor in Wells Fargo Championship golf betting.
Other Contenders
Bill Haas may take some backing this week as he is producing some solid enough golf at the moment. He leads the PGA Tour this season with five top ten finishes, and on top of that, is inside the top ten for greens in regulation. He has his all round game going well, the scrambling is pretty much top notch at the moment, and on top of that, he has two top finishes at Quail Hollow as well. A very good fit, maybe a lock for a top ten finish.
Many people look at Bubba Watson and see only a big hitter. He does drive massive distances off the tee, but also has some great ball manipulation as well. The course management needs perhaps more control than distance at Quail Hollow, still, Bubba is not all about driving. He is sixth in greens hit on the PGA this term and is the leader for scoring on par 4’s. His best finish at Quail Hollow was a share of second place back in 2009 so he can deliver here.
Lee Westwood may be a temper for punters this week in PGA Golf betting. He took a share of fifth at Quail Hollow last year and his stats stack up for him to have a good charge again this term. He took a top ten finish at the Masters in his last start, leaving him with consecutive top ten finishes in his last two starts. His scrambling game, which is going to come into play, is superb at the moment and consistent enough to challenge inside the top ten.
Phil Mickelson has a good enough track record at the event as well to attract a lot of interest. He has never missed the cut at the event, which speaks volumes and has produced six top ten finishes in nine starts at the tournament. Four of those have been top fives as well. The iron work is there in his game, could work with a little improvement on his putting, and iron out a few creases in his driving. Otherwise, is such a proven performer at Quail Hollow that he could be up there again.
Best Outside Bet
DA Points is looking off value considering what he has posted lately. He has made the cut in each of his last four starts, producing a second in New Orleans and a victory in Houston. Can’t ask for much better form than that, oh, and he was a loser in the play offs here last term as well. Big value at 40/1 with online bookmaker Bet Victor.
