You can bet on whether Paulina Gretzky will show up at the Ryder Cup

The 2018 Ryder Cup has produced a slew of prop bets as usual, but here's one we didn't see coming a few weeks ago: Will Paulina Gretzky be there?
Amid growing questions about her relationship with fiancé and Team USA's top-ranked player Dustin Johnson, oddsmaker Bovada has issued a wager surrounding golf's most famous WAG attending the biennial event. And (gulp) "No" is a solid favorite. Here's the full bet being offered:
Will Paulina Gretzky be alongside the rest of the wives at the Ryder Cup opening ceremony?
Yes +180 (9/5)
No -270 (10/27)
Gretzky caused a bit of stir earlier this month when she deleted all photos involving Dustin Johnson from her Instagram account. Johnson hasn't done the same, but he issued the following statement on Twitter last Tuesday:
"Every relationship goes through its ups and downs, but most importantly, we love each other very much and are committed to being a family," Johnson wrote. "Thank you for your love and support."
The 2018 Ryder Cup opening ceremony is scheduled for Sept. 27 at Le Golf National outside of Paris. The three-day competition pitting the U.S. against Europe begins the following day.
In any event, this is one bet where we're definitely rooting for the underdog.
