The CJ Cup Odds And Betting Preview
The exclusive Summit Club hosts this week’s CJ Cup for the first time, and golf’s best players are teeing it up in Las Vegas in the small 78 player field. I provide a tournament preview with golfers CJ Cup odds to win and information you can bet on at TheLines.
The CJ Cup is a no-cut event, and 45 players who teed it up at TPC Summerlin last week for the Shriners Children’s Open will stay in Las Vegas and play in The CJ Cup. That includes winner Sungjae Im and third place finisher Marc Leishman. Runner-up Matthew Wolff is an alternate and hopes to get into the CJ Cup field.
