ZOZO Championship betting latest
Jon Rahm the current favourite
Jon Rahm currently tops the market for this year’s ZOZO Championship, at a best price of 10/1. The Spaniard hasn’t been in his best form lately, finishing T23 at the US Open before a T17 finish at the CJ Cup. He’s got a host of big names breathing down his neck for favouritism, with Xander Schauffele (11/1), Rory McIlroy (12/1) and Justin Thomas (12/1) all short prices.

- Jon Rahm 10/1

Punters have been avoiding those at the top of the market so far, though Webb Simpson (20/1) is the third most backed in our market.
