2018 PGA The Wells Fargo Championship Preview and Picks
Ready to bet on this week’s 2018 The Wells Fargo Championship betting odds? It’s a loaded field getting ready to take on the Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte. Last year the winner of this event was Brian Harman and this should be a fun and competitive event that could go down to the last few holes.

With all of that in mind who should we be keeping an extra eye on this week? Let’s break it down.
2018 The Wells Fargo Championship Favorites:
Rory McIlroy +700
Rory McIlroy came up short at the Masters a few weeks ago, but he comes into this tournament, as the favorite and with the way he has been putting it’s really not a surprise.

His price really isn’t great but with the way he has been playing he is hard to ignore. If you are going to bet him bet him now, because as it gets closer to tee time I think his price will end up around +600
Rickie Fowler +1100
Rickie Fowler once again fell short at the Masters and it will be interesting to see how he comes out in this one. He needs to have his head on right to have any chance.
I think he will come out confident and he has had success at this course. Although his price isn’t great he still is hard to ignore.
2018 The Wells Fargo Championship Contenders:
Phil Mickelson +2800
For the way Phil Mickelson has played the last year this is a pretty good price for him. That being said he is someone I would steer away from.
I know he will be a popular pick to win it and he is usually a betting favorite but I don’t see him putting four good rounds together.
Tiger Woods +2800
One guy I really like this weekend is Tiger Woods. He struggled at the Masters with all the pressure, but this is a little less pressure and that will be good for him.

Look for him to have a chance in his fist start here since 2012, and to be chasing that title on Sunday.
2018 The Wells Fargo Championship Sleeper (+5000 or higher):
Brian Harman +6600
It’s hard to ignore Brian Harman as he did win this championship last year, but it also has to be considered that last year the event was played the Eagle Point Golf Club.
Even though he has to have the confidence heading into this tournament and as a longshot I like his odds. You usually don’t get a defending champion at this price and I would take advantage.
2018 The Wells Fargo Championship Picks:
The guy I do really like is – Rickie Fowler to have a nice tournament and end up on top on Sunday Afternoon.
He gets his third win ever year and gets his season back on the right track.
