In the first playing of the Bank of Utah Championship last year, Stephan Jager finished in solo second, three shots behind winner Matt McCarty. Does that make Jager another safe bet for 2025?
One half of the Subpar podcast duo seems to think so.
For this week’s Fanatics Subpar bet of the week, Subpar co-host Drew Stoltz picked Jager to top 20 (+260) at the Black Desert Resort Golf Course in Ivins, Utah.
“You got to make a lot of birdies and this is a guy I know who can stack them up,” Stoltz said. “He’s streaky although he’s become way more consistent. He’s added a lot of length to his game and that is part of the reason he’s been so much better the last few years. He can get hot and make a lot of birds when he gets going.”

For his bet, Subpar co-host Colt Knost picked Taylor Montgomery to top 20 (+280).
“He’s playing some good golf and coming off a top 10 in his last PGA Tour start, and I heard he’s been playing some nice golf back at home,” Knost said.
Added Stoltz: “It should be a good golf course for him. It’s pretty wide, no trees, tough to get it out of play here.”
Michael Thorbjornsen is the betting favorite to win at +1400, with Kurt Kitayama and Maverick McNealy (both +1800) coming in with the next-best odds. Click here to find out how to watch the action in Utah this week.
