Last year, the Grant Thornton Invitational was established to replace the QBE Shootout. The Grant Thornton Invitational is held at the Tiburon Golf Club in Naples, Florida. The Tiburon Golf Club has two courses designed by Greg Norman, 2-time winner of The Open Championship and former world No. 1.
The unique Golf Betting Lines handicapping factor is that the Grant Thornton Invitational field is mixed, comprised of top male and female players. The tournament consists of three rounds and 18 holes of scramble, 18 holes of foursomes, and 18 holes of modified four-ball.
Cause by the unique format and the lack of golf betting opportunities at this time of year, the Grant Thornton invitational will be a draw at the betting window. Gamblers love the mixed format and unique rules that make the event interesting and a draw for live betting.
