App Comparison

Best Golf Betting Apps in 2025

FanDuel vs. DraftKings vs. bet365 vs. BetMGM

With sports betting now live across Missouri, pairing your love of golf with smart wagers on PGA Tour events, majors, or LIV Golf adds another layer of thrill to every round. Here is a head-to-head comparison of the top golf betting apps available in Missouri — all fully licensed, mobile-friendly (iOS/Android), and perfect for betting from the course, a watch party, or home.

1

FanDuel

Perfect for Casual Golf Fans & On-Course Bettors

FanDuel's app is super intuitive — ideal if you're at a charity scramble or watching the PGA Tour locally. It excels at placement bets (top 5/10/20 finishes — lower risk than picking the outright winner) and head-to-head matchups. Live betting feels seamless with quick updates after every hole.

Pros

  • Clean design
  • Fast cash-outs
  • Great for new bettors

Cons

  • Longshot odds can be a touch higher (less value on huge underdogs)
Pro Tip Use it for safer bets like top-10 finishes during major tournament weekends.
2

DraftKings

The Promo King for Big Events

DraftKings loads up on golf-specific promotions, especially around majors like The Masters or The Players Championship. You'll find boosted odds, profit boosts, free pools, and creative parlays (e.g., same-tournament combos). Markets are deep: hole-in-one props, make/miss cut, nationality winners.

Pros

  • Endless specials
  • Huge variety of bets

Cons

  • Can feel busy for first-timers
Pro Tip Great for boosted odds during major championship weekends.
3

bet365

Sharp Odds & Live Betting Leader

bet365 often has the best pricing on outright winners and futures — meaning better potential payouts. Their in-play betting is unmatched: lines adjust hole-by-hole with minimal delay, perfect for catching momentum shifts (e.g., a hot putter on the back nine).

Pros

  • Sharpest lines
  • Excellent live tools

Cons

  • Interface is straightforward but less "fun" than FanDuel/DraftKings
Pro Tip Shop here first for value on underdogs during televised events.
4

BetMGM

Comprehensive & Major-Focused

BetMGM shines for big tournaments with frequent odds boost tokens (e.g., enhance a player's top-10 payout) and strong player props. It ties into MGM rewards if you're traveling, and markets cover everything from group betting to round scores.

Pros

  • Balanced features
  • Reliable boosts for majors

Cons

  • Promo volume sometimes lags behind DraftKings
Pro Tip Ideal for betting on pro events while following the tour all season.
