Rising PGA<\/a> star, Ludvig Aberg, withdrew from the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am<\/a> this morning due to illness. As one of the betting favorites, his withdrawal shakes up the betting odds.<\/p>\n

Aberg was given 18-1 odds to win at Pebble Beach. This gave bets more upside than bets on Scottie Scheffler (4-1) and Rory McIlroy (11-1). If you wanted to bet on a consistent top performer and still have a good chance at making good money<\/em>, he would be your guy.<\/p>\n

Ludvig Aberg Withdrawal<\/h2>\n

Hot Start to 2025, Noticeable Decline<\/h3>\n

Why did Aberg have the 5th best betting odds? His 5th place performance at the Sentry proved Aberg was one to watch all season, as we knew he would be. Even the first round of the Farmer’s Insurance Open looked promising\u2014he carded a 63, leading the field going into round 2.<\/p>\n

From there, sickness took over. Aberg was hunched over the grass, noticeably in pain in each of the final 3 rounds. After entering round two at -9, Aberg finished the tournament at a disappointing +3, dragged primarily by the +7 in the final round.<\/p>\n

Still, entering the tournament, the Swedish star had the 5th best odds to win it all<\/a>. Aberg carded a field-worst<\/em> 77 (+5) in round one, and decided before round two that he could not continue.<\/p>\n

This shakes up the betting odds big time. What do the new odds look like going into Round 2 at Pebble Beach?<\/p>\n

Odds from DraftKings<\/a>, subject to change<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Aberg’s poor play and eventual withdrawal makes room for new names to fill the betting odds list\u2014Hodges, McNealy, Lowry, and Dunlap look to make a push to the top.<\/p>\n

Lee Hodges and Russell Henley are off to hot<\/em> starts on day two. Big names like Scheffler, McIlroy, and Justin Thomas are nearing their tee times.<\/p>\n

As day two unfolds, we’ll see players climb and fall. Despite being at the top of the leaderboard, Lee Hodges still offers a lot of upside with his 45-1 odds to win.<\/p>\n

We’re excited to see Aberg out on the links healthy again. For now, we’ll see who the people decide to bet on in his absence.<\/p>\n
