If you’re looking for a longshot to win this week’s PGA Tour event at Pebble Beach, then Nick Taylor’s your guy at 75-1. With this field being completely wide open without any player in the Official World Golf Ranking’s (OWGR) top-10, Taylor is a live underdog to pick up his third PGA Tour win at Pebble Beach this weekend. If his name sounds familiar, it’s because he actually won this event last year as he went wire-to-wire, finishing at 19 under par.
Currently, Taylor slots in as the 130th golfer, according to the OWGR. Frankly, the only reason his odds aren’t as high as 125-1 or 150-1 is that he won the event last year. Taylor seems to perform better on the West Coast courses, which suit him better because of his strong wedge game. He’s not a golfer that’s going to blow you away off the tee, but he’s also not going to be spraying the ball into the Pacific Ocean either.
When you sum it all up by assessing the weaker field and his previous success on the course, Taylor is certainly a player to consider adding to your card before the tournament gets underway.
