Opening odds for THE PLAYERS Championship

The 2020 PGA Tour season has been underway for some time now, but this week brings the first high profile event of the year. THE PLAYERS Championship gets underway on Thursday at TPC Sawgrass, with the iconic par 3, 137-yard 17th, known as Island Green.

Tiger Woods will not be taking part as he deals with back issues, but we still have a great field set to take part in what has been called the fifth major. Until recently, the tournament was held in May, but it was bumped back to mid-March in advance of the Masters in April. It adds even more prestige to the event a week before the NCAA tournament gets underway.

DraftKings Sportsbook unveiled their odds for the tournament, and it is no surprise Rory McIlroy leads the way. He is a +725 favorite to win the whole thing, +200 favorite to finish in the top 5, and near even money at +110 to finish in the top ten. He also leads the way in odds to lead after round 1 at +1800.

McIlroy won last year’s tournament with a one stroke victory over Jim Furyk. This year, Furyk is +17500 to win, +3300 to finish in the top five, and +1400 to finish in the top ten.

Below is a full list of early odds heading into THE PLAYERS week.
