Rory, DJ heavily favored in charity skins match against Fowler, Wolff
Oddsmakers agree with what appears to be obvious on paper: Rory McIlroy and Dustin Johnson are the heavy favorites for their charity skins match against Rickie Fowler and Matthew Wolff on May 17.
McIlroy and Johnson opened at -200 (bet $200 to win $100), according to SuperBook VP of risk management Jeff Sherman.
Fowler and Wolff, who both played for Oklahoma State, are listed at +175 (bet $100 to win $175) to win the most skins.
The foursome will play a better-ball format in which the lowest score between the two team members will determine which team wins the skin. Additionally, players will not have caddies and will carry their own clubs.
Here are a few other prop bets for the charity game at Seminole Golf Club in Florida.
Player to claim the most skins:
1. McIlroy: +160
2. Johnson: +300
3. Fowler: +400
4. Wolff: +500
Player who hits the longest drive:
1. McIlroy: +180
2. Wolff: +200
3. Johnson: +300
4. Fowler: +1700
First player to hit a ball in the water:
1. Fowler: +233
2. Johnson: +300
3. Wolff: +300
4. McIlroy: +400
Both Fowler and Wolff wear orange shirts or hats as a nod to Oklahoma State: +300
The match will be broadcast on NBC from 2-6 p.m. ET on May 17.
