US Open betting has been seen in many quarters as an elitist and in some cases even a boring form of sports betting. But in reality golf betting, especially US Open golf betting is far from boring and in recent years many traces of the traditional elitism surrounding the sport has evaporated. For decades, golf and by association US Open betting had been characterized as sport for often times, wealthy white males. While some of that perception remains, the PGA Tour has taken great strides to erase this image and make US Open betting much more inclusive than in years past.
US Open golf betting fans simply need to take a look at the golf betting field to realize that this is hardly a white man’s sport anymore. Obviously, the majority of the golfers in US Open betting are still Caucasian, but that is also changing rapidly. The best golfer in US Open betting history (Tiger Woods) is of mixed Asian and African ancestry and is far from your typical US Open betting competitor. There are also several prominent Asian golfers on tour and slowly but surely US Open golf betting fans are seeing more and more diversity on tour, although perhaps not fast enough.
This has contributed to knocking down the image of US Open betting as an elitist practice. Also the fact that the PGA Tour and its members have made an effort to bring the sport to disadvantaged children has also helped to shed the image of US Open betting as sport for the wealthy. Golfers like John Daly also give the event an ‘every man’ feel and has helped raise the profile of US Open betting.
