What are 3-Ball Matchup Bets in Golf?
There are different ways you can be paired up in golf. The most common is every golfer for themselves, but there are two other variations that have become popular to bet on; two-ball golf and three-ball golf.
Three-ball golf is fairly straight forward – it is a match where three golfers are pit against each other, and the one with the lowest score at the end of the round will win between the three competitors.
Because there are three competitors, each competitor is almost always plus money, meaning you h ave great odds to have one of the three golfers having a lower score than the other two.
In the chance that there is a tie at the end of the round, dead heat rules apply – which will be explained below. Three-ball matchups can be applied for a single hole, a set of holes, one round, or an entire tournament.
