The American Express 2021 golf odds: Brooks Koepka among the favorites in his 2021 debut

The old Bob Hope Classic, now The American Express, is one of the hallmarks of the early-year PGA Tour schedule. That includes some memorable moments—from victories by Arnold Palmer (five times), Johnny Miller (twice) and Jack Nicklaus (once)—to celebrity appearances by some of the world-class entertainers. It has given us some long-shot winners in recent years, with Andrew Landry (175-1); Adam Long (400-1) and Hudson Swafford (66-1) being three of the four most recent winners. Of course, Jon Rahm took the title in 2018 as the favorite—and he was listed as the favorite in 2021 before withdrawing on Monday.

Brooks Koepka will make his 2021 debut, and oddsmakers tabbed him as the third favorite (Update: This was before Rahm withdrew—Koepka is now the second favorite behind Patrick Cantlay.) The four-time major champion has played just once since his T-7 at the Masters, missing the cut at Mayakoba. As usual, it will be interesting to see how Koepka plays in a non-major PGA Tour event. This is the first time Koepka is playing in this tournament.

There are tons of great names below Rahm and Koepka, including Patrick Cantlay, who has slightly better odds to win than Koepka. Ten of the top-25 ranked players in the world are here, including Kevin Na, whose win at the Sony Open moved him to 23rd in the World Ranking. Scottie Scheffler, who was edged by Landry last year, is among the top-10 favorites at 22-1.

Here’s a complete list of odds for the players in the 2021 American Express field.
