Bill Haas rounds out the top three betting choices at +1500 and deservingly so as the reigning champion in California.

Haas currently sits in 21st position in FedExCup standings with 85-points and $182,000 in earnings. An interesting longshot bet in Bob Hope Classic odds is Bubba Watson who is a longshot due to missing the cut at the Hyundai Tournament of Champions.
