Event Notes
- PGA National is one of the toughest stops on the PGA Tour
- Water hazards are on 15 of the holes causing a lot of penalty strokes
- Course features the famous 3-hole stretch known as ‘The Bear Trap’
- They lengthened the 10th hole this year and turned it into a par five
- There are 60 strategically placed bunkers on the course
- Very few trees on the property, so the course is exposed to wind
- Fairways and greens are both difficult to hit on average
- Over 60% of approach shots are hit from 125-200 yards
- Scrambling is difficult here, so a tidy short game pays dividends
- Even though driver is not required on many holes, long hitters play well here
- Course history has been important here over the years
What to Look For

- Bogey avoidance
- Strokes gained off the tee (emphasis on distance)

ScoresAndOdds
When betting on golf, every edge matters. Rather than scouring sportsbooks for the best odds each week, use the ScoresAndOdds golf page. You can compare odds from all books for each market — outright, top five, top 10, etc. The tool is FREE and can save you time and money.
Salaries, Odds, Stats, Course History, & 2024 Form
Note: 2024 form includes results from the PGA TOUR, DPWT, KFT, and LIV. Rather than just showing the last five events, the table now shows the last 8 weeks of play. This helps us get an idea of both form and how often golfers have been teeing it up. I’m still working on the color-coding for the table. That will be back to normal soon.
