Fresh off a win against the over-50 crowd, Phil Mickelson is a betting favorite this week as he returns to life on the PGA Tour.
Mickelson won his PGA Tour Champions debut two weeks ago in Missouri, and this week he'll headline the field for the season-opening Safeway Open in Napa. While he missed the cut last year at Silverado Resort, he finished T-17 or better in each of his three prior trips. With few top names teeing it up in the first event of the 2020-21 season, oddsmakers at PointsBet Sportsbook have listed Mickelson as an 18/1 favorite to win his first PGA Tour event in nearly two years.
