In preparing to write about Charles Barkley’s odds to win the American Century Celebrity Golf Championship, I went to look up some old clips of his swing for us all to laugh about. And to my surprise, it’s actually improved from the old disjointed stroke that made us feel better about our own games over the years.
The new swing is turning some bettors into believers.
Barkley’s odds to crack the top 70 of the 87-golfer field opened at +500 at Caesars Sportsbook but moved to +260 as of Thursday, according to ESPN’s David Purdum. One person that isn’t buying Barkley’s new and improved game, however, is fellow NBA superstar Stephen Curry.
