While you may want to hold off backing Graeme McDowell to win this week’s Honda Classic, G Mac’s is odds on with regards the new PGA Tour casino sponsorship policy.

McDowell posted a disappointing two-over par 72 on the first day of the event at PGA National to be well adrift of the leaders.

Two days earlier, he joined fellow Tour members who were seated in front of Tour Commissioner, Jay Monihan to be advised of a decision to allow them to be sponsored by certain types of gambling companies and with golfers like McDowell now free to reach lucrative agreements with casinos and fantasy sports firms.

G Mac odds on with the PGA Tour’s new Casino and Sports Fantasy player sponsorship arrangements.

The PGA Tour’s decision, unveiled on Tuesday, is in line with other North American sports leagues who have embraced gambling sponsorship and follows a U.S. Supreme Court ruling last May that overturned a 1992 federal ban on sports betting outside of Nevada.

“I feel like the PGA Tour has gotten out front in this, with the integrity courses we took online and with helping us to understand what’s going to be okay and what isn’t going to be,” said McDowell.

“The integrity of our sport is paramount.”

The new policy, which is effective immediately, applies to larger casino companies but not firms whose primary purpose is sports betting.

Gambling companies can now also be considered for Official Marketing Partners for all six tours overseen by the PGA tour and tournaments.
