Golf bets, settled in the group chat.

Golf has the smallest sample size and longest individual matches in sports — meaning friend bets evolve over four days. The Sunday-afternoon final-round sweat is one of the most underrated friend-bet experiences in any sport.

Sunday-afternoon leaderboard sweats are the most underrated friend-bet in sports.

By the numbers

A typical PGA Tour event has 156-game starting field. The odds of any specific player winning are usually 20-1 or longer — making outright winner bets rare and outsized when they hit.

A real example

Four friends each pick one player on Thursday morning of the Masters. Whoever's player finishes highest collects $25 from each of the others. Settled records the picks before round 1 tees off.

When the Golf season runs

Year-round, with majors April–July.
