Overall odds in golf if picking two players?

Say you're looking to pick two golfers in a field and looking to find the overall odds that one of them will win the tourney. How is this accomplished with example odds like this for the individuals?

Golfer #1: +250
Golfer #2: +750

I dont quite understand what you are asking. The with the odds you posted generally the bigger the + number, the less likely the golfer is to win in the eyes of the bookies, so the higher the return.

so if you bet $100 dollars on golfer 1 and he wins, then you win $250
and if you bet the same $100 on golfer 2 and he wins you win $750

Assuming those lines are fair with no vig:

golfer 1 has a 100/350 = 2/7 = 28.6% chance to win
golfer 2 has a 100/850 = 2/17 = 11.8% chance to win

So the probability of either winning is 2/7 + 2/17 = 40.3%
