The Shriners Las Vegas Betting Preview
Strong Field in Las Vegas for The Shriners Hospitals for Children Open
In the City of Sin, anyone can win. The 2020 edition of the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open drew a stacked field, led by the two most recent major champion winners.
Bryson DeChambeau returns to Las Vegas for his first event since winning the U.S. Open. DeChambeau is also a Shriners champion having won the event in 2018 by a single stroke over Patrick Cantlay, who returns as the 2017 Shriners champion.
DeChambeau (+800) is the prohibitive favorite this week at the Shriners event followed by Webb Simpson (+1600) and Collin Morikawa (+1600), who won the PGA Championship in August and is already a 3-time PGA Tour champion in just 13 monts on Tour.

TPC Summerlin is a resort-style course that is forgiving with wide fairways, oversized greens and limited rough. Justin Ray of the 15th Club notes that TPC Summerlin annually ranks among the easiest venues on the PGA Tour in terms of greens in regulation. In 2019-20, it yielded the highest percentage among courses to host all 72 holes of a tournament. The previous season, only five courses ranked as easier in terms of G.I.R.
