The top golfers on the PGA Tour are in Dublin, Ohio for this week's Memorial Tournament.

With the U.S. Open two weeks away, most of the top golfers will be using this event as the final warm up for the third major tournament of the year.

If you want to find out the betting odds and my overall best bets for the event, you can find all of that in my betting preview here.

In this article, I'm going to give out my three favorite prop bets for the event. Let's jump into them.

The Memorial Tournament Prop Bets

  • Sam Burns +120 vs. Sungjae Im
  • Jordan Spieth to miss the cut +210
  • Rickie Fowler to win Group C +350

Sam Burns +120 vs. Sungjae Im

Sungjae Im won the Woori Financial Group Championship on the Korean Tour and then promptly completely lost his form upon returning to the United States. He has missed two straight cuts and his approach play his been some of the worst we've ever seen from him. He lost 1.67 strokes to the field with his approach at the PGA Championship and then lost 2.48 strokes with his irons at the Charles Schwab Challenge.

That means we can bet on Burns to beat him in a head-to-head at +120, just one week removed from a T6 finish at the Charles Schwab Challenge.

Jordan Spieth to miss the cut +210

Jordan Spieth is another golfer who has struggled lately. He has missed the cut in two of his last three starts with a T29 finish sandwiched in between. The most concerning aspect of his play has been his short game, losing strokes both putting and around the green in all three of those starts.

That's especially bad news at Muirfield Village, a place Spieth has only finished inside the top 10 twice in his career. He also missed the cut at this course twice since 2019.

Rickie Fowler to win Group C +350

Rickie Fowler, at +350, is my favorite bet to win Group C, made up of Sungjae Im, Cameron Young, Hideki Matsuyama, and Matt Fitzpatrick,

I already described why I'm fading Sungjae Im this week, but the other golfers in the group outside of Fowler, have also not shown their best stuff of late.

Meanwhile, Fowler is coming off a T6 finish at last week's Charles Schwab Challenge.

Game odds refresh periodically and are subject to change.
