This week, the LPGA Tour returns to the state of California for the 2023 JM Eagle LA Championship.
Before I discuss my favorite prop bet for the JM Eagle LA Championship let’s take a look at the top five players in scoring average on the LPGA Tour that are in this week’s field.
Top Five Golfers in Scoring Average (Minimum 16 Rounds played)
- Lilia Vu 68.60
- Jin Young Ko 68.75
- Atthaya Thitikul 68.80
- Georgia Hall 68.87
- Nelly Korda 68.90
Now that we have determined who the top five golfers with regard to scoring average are on the LPGA Tour (in this week’s field) let’s shift our attention to my favorite tournament prop bet for this week’s 2023 JM Eagle LA Championship.
Here is a golfer to consider placing on your card to finish in the top ten.
Nasa Hataoka +250
Nasa Hataoka has accumulated three top 16 finishes in her last four tournaments played on the LPGA tour, including a seventh place result at the 2023 LA Open three weeks ago.
Due to the fact that Nasa Hataoka played so well at the 2023 LA Open, I decided to take a hard look at Hataoka’s player statistics for the event relative to the field.
After four rounds of competitive golf played at the 2023 LA Open, in relation to the field, Hataoka ranked fifth for driving accuracy (92.9%), seventh for GIR (greens in regulation-77.9%), and 11th in scrambling (62.5%).
In summary, I am backing Nasa Hataoka to top ten at odds of +250.
