We've had—maybe a little too much—fun with some of these. But the 17th hole at TPC Sawgrass is one of golf's most iconic spots, and with the boom in popularity of sports betting specific to golf, we think we have a case with some of these prop bets below.
–Over/under 4.5 ‘Better Than Most’ mentions on the weekend broadcast.
This might be a safe cash on the over, actually.
–(+1500) (Bet $10 to win $150) The winner jumps into the water to honor Pete Dye, and drags Jay Monahan in, Jerry Pate style.
–Over/under 50.5 water balls on 17 through four rounds. (The average per year since 2003 is 47.7)
