Palmetto Championship betting tips: Johnson on home soil

He has not been as consistent since February, registering only one top-25 finish so far, but it would be foolish to rule out the world number one before a major event, particularly on home soil.

Congaree is a lengthy course, stretching over 7,655 yards, and being accurate off the tee will be a key component for success in South Carolina and former PGA Tour rookie of the year Sungjae Im could come into contention.

Despite missing cuts in five of his last eight events, the South Korean has recorded three top-30s and is the 14th most accurate off the tee after hitting 69.23 per cent of fairways this season.

His consistency of finding the short grass could see him slide into contention at 16/1 in the Palmetto Championship odds.

Poulter to putt his way into contention?

Ian Poulter arrives at Congaree on the back of a third-placed finish at the Charles Schwab Challenge last month and his solid putting form could see him towards the top of the leaderboard.

The 45-year-old, who is 33/1 to win this week, is seventh on strokes gained with the putter, second on the list for one-putt percentage (45.14) and has yet to miss a putt inside three feet from 360 attempts.

Fellow Englishman Matthew Fitzpatrick is still awaiting his maiden PGA Tour title but has recorded four top-10 finishes this season, including fourth at the RBC Heritage in April.

He is 19th on shots picked up from putting, 15th on driving accuracy percentage and the world number 21 is priced at 14/1 to claim his first win in the United States.
