The LPGA Tour returns to Cincinnati with a field loaded with superstars. Here are the odds to target, and the odds to be skeptical about.
Odds To Target:
Ruoning Yin (+1600) – Yin may be the third highest in odds, but she is significantly more value than the top two players in the world, Nelly Korda and Jeeno Thitikul. Yin may not have the wins, but she has played elite golf as of late, ranking fifth in the CME Standings coming off two consecutive runner-up finishes and top-10s in three of her last four starts.
Jennifer Kupcho (+4,500) – Despite not getting into real contention much this season, I like how Kupcho’s game is trending. She has three consecutive top-15 finishes and is finding a way to put good scores out there despite some middling stats. If she can figure out her short game for this week, she could be standing there with the trophy come Sunday.
Melanie Green (+7,500) – You won’t be able to get odds like this on Green for long, so take advantage of it. The 2025 Epson Tour player of the year continues to impress in her young rookie season, placing top 20 in three of the last four events, with two of them being top 10s. We haven’t yet seen a rookie winner after the young dominance from 2026, and Green is a strong candidate to be the first.
Odds To Be Skeptical Of:
Ina Yoon (+2,200) – Yoon is playing fantastic golf as of late, she is consistently putting out good finishes, but I do think there is better value out there than tied for fifth highest odds. Yoon still hasn’t won on the LPGA Tour and even though she has an immense amount of talent, I would like to see a bit more before making a bet like this.
Charley Hull (+2,200) – You can’t ignore completely that Charley Hull won on this course last season, just like you can’t ignore her recent form. Hull has been inconsistent and very boom or bust this year. In six starts, Hull has four top-20 finishes, but also two missed cuts. I would lay off Hull for a week and see if her form gets more to where it was early in the year.
Rose Zhang (+6,500) – It is a big week for Zhang, with her final U.S. Women’s Open hopes really hanging on the line. She is tied for the 24th best odds and I just don’t see it happening for Rose. I am more optimistic on where her game is going than many people, but her short game has been very concerning in 2026 and her ball striking just isn’t quite elite enough to make up for it.
