The PGA Tour Money Back Special is a promotional offer from Matchbook designed to reward golf bettors with a safety net. If your chosen golfer leads at the end of any round in a PGA Tour event but fails to win overall, you’ll get your money back as a free bet, up to £100. To take part, customers must first opt-in on the Promotions Page on Matchbook. Once opted in, participants need to place a BACK bet on any golfer in any PGA Tour Outright Market during the promotional period. If that golfer has the outright lead at the end of any round but does not go on to win the event, the stake will be refunded as a free bet. It’s a straightforward incentive tailored to provide some insurance for punters backing early leaders who can't close out the tournament.
To qualify, your bet must meet specific criteria. Firstly, it must be a BACK bet placed on any golfer in a PGA Tour Outright Market on Matchbook, and the bet must be placed pre-event — in-play bets will not qualify. Secondly, the bet must be the first qualifying selection you place during the promotional window, which runs from 16:00 GMT on Wednesday, January 29, 2025, until 12:00 GMT on Sunday, December 12, 2025. This offer is strictly for the first eligible bet per customer and applies exclusively to the standard PGA Tour Outright Markets; any bets made on Bet Builders, multiples, or Matchbook Zero are excluded.
The promotion hinges on your golfer holding the outright lead — not a share of the lead — at the end of any official round during a PGA Tour event. If your player ties for the lead, the bet will not qualify for the refund. Similarly, if your player leads at any stage other than the end of a round, it does not count. Should your golfer meet the qualifying conditions but still fail to win the tournament, your stake will be returned as a free bet up to a maximum of £100. The free bet will be credited in the currency of your Matchbook account (£1 = €1 = $1) and will be issued by 12:00pm on the Monday following the event.
Free bets received through this promotion come with a few important stipulations. They are valid for 7 days from the time of issue, and if not used within that time frame, they will expire. Free bets must be used in full in a single wager and cannot be used on Matchbook Zero or placed on multiple bet types such as doubles, trebles, or accumulators. Additionally, the free bet token is non-withdrawable and, if used on a winning bet, the stake will not be returned — only the profit will be credited to your account. This will be visible in the bet slip’s profit/loss breakdown and in your bet history.
Certain restrictions and exclusions apply. Most notably, users who have signed up to Matchbook via affiliate partners such as Oddsmonkey, Outplayed, Team Profit, or The Matched Betting Blog are not eligible for this promotion. Only one promotion entry is allowed per person, household, shared computer, or payment method. Customers must also meet all Matchbook eligibility requirements, including being 18 years or older (or of legal betting age in their jurisdiction), being a verified and eligible Matchbook account holder, and complying with Matchbook’s general Terms and Conditions.
Participants should also note that this offer excludes bets placed with free bet tokens and bets settled outside the promotional period. Likewise, if you decide to cash out your bet, it will no longer qualify for the Money Back Special. Matchbook also explicitly prohibits users from backing and laying the same selection to trigger the offer—doing so will void any eligibility for a free bet refund.
For the Tour Championship held from August 21st to 24th, 2025, the qualifying market for this promotion will be the 72-hole lowest score market, ensuring alignment with standard PGA Tour event structures. Matchbook reserves the right to delay or withhold refund payments where external factors impact timely settlement, and it may ask users to verify their identity, age, and address before processing any reward.
The promotion is operated by Triplebet Limited, and Matchbook reserves the right to modify, suspend, or terminate the offer at any time. In the event of any disputes, Matchbook’s decision will be final. All participants are advised to read both these terms and the general promotional rules on Matchbook to ensure full understanding before opting in.
In summary, this is a compelling offer for golf fans who like to back early leaders. By covering your stake in the event of a near-miss, Matchbook adds an extra layer of value to outright PGA Tour markets. Just remember to opt-in, follow the qualifying conditions carefully, and place your bet before the tournament begins to make the most of this Money Back Special.
