2018 PGA The CIMB Classic Preview and Picks
Ready to bet on this week’s 2018 The CIMB Classic betting odds? The PGA Tour is in Malaysia this weekend with a big tournament with a lot on the line. The winner of this tournament gets a ticket to the Masters and is one of the only PGA Tour-sanctioned events in Asia. This isn’t a loaded field, but it has some good players that should make for an exciting weekend.

- Format: 72 holes – Stroke Play
- Purse: $7,000,000
- Defending Champion: Pat Perez

With all of that in mind who should we be keeping an extra eye on this week? Let’s break it down.
2018 The CIMB Classic Favorites:
Justin Thomas +500
justin Thomas comes into this tournament as a heavy favorite and it’s really not a surprise because he is the best player in this field, and it’s really not that close.
It could be argued that he is playing the best golf of his career right now so it’s not surprising that he is filling up his schedule with events.

It’s hard to bet on a guy with a payout being only +500, especially at a PGA Tour event but if you take him along with a couple of long shots I might consider it.
He hasn’t shown anything the last few months to make you think he won’t win this thing.
Xander Schauffele +1600
Xander Schauffele had success here finishing tied for third last year and he seems to also be getting on a groove. He looked good at the players championship.
He’s an option but he isn’t my favorite play at this price range.
2018 The BMW Championship Contenders:
Ryan Moore +1600
Ryan Moore has won here before coming in first in 2013 and 2014 and now his golf game seems to be heating up again at the perfect time.
He just missed winning last week and he has to feel good having a lot of confidence. He is striking the ball well and his putting is some of the best on the tour.
Brandt Snedeker +3000
Brant Snedeker gave away the victory last weekend but a lot of times when that happens they come back the next week and win.
Snedeker has been so inconsistent so it’s hard to know what guy will be showing up this weekend, but his odds are at a nice betting price.

2018 The CIMB Classic Sleeper (+4000 or higher):
Danny Lee +4000
Danny Lee isn’t a guy that is talked about a ton, but he is your best option for a sleepr in a field that falls off pretty quickly after the top guy.
In all honesty I don’t really like this pick and probably would stay away from the sleepers.
2018 The CIMB Classic Picks:
The guy I do really like is – Ryan Moore to have a nice tournament and end up on top on Sunday Afternoon.
He will win for the third time here at this tournament.
