2010 RYDER CUP BETTING PREDICTIONS -TIGER VS. MCILROY SETS THE STAGE

We are mere days away from one of the most hotly anticipated Ryder Cup contests in a long, long time.
With everyone and their dog claiming that Europe will trounce the Yanks, many are feeling that this might be a walkover for Europe, however it seems the more drama unfold the more uncertainties are thrown into the mix.
Add the recent comments of Northern Irish youngster Rory McIlroy that he ‘cannot wait to beat Tiger’, and one automatically begins to shift in their seats with a long needed sense of anticipation.
A somewhat spell bounding statistic to note when reviewing the odds this weekend is that of the last nine Ryder Cups, the favourites have been beaten six times-suggesting  that this might not be as one-sided as the bookies suggest
Enough of this crazy talk- Europe will win this.
Why? Because no other team comes to the UK, especially Wales, and deals with dreary and damp conditions and wildly patriotic fans better than a European
Paddypower offers the pick of the odds putting Europe at 1.7, with the USA at 2.5
The whole McIlroy vs. Tiger saga has taken over media attention leading up to tee off this week. The bookies have obliged by bumping these two to the top of the list on the top points scorer list- causing the betting public to spin in circles with excitement
Tiger is still favoured with your pick of the bookies being Bet365 at 10.0, and Rory McIlroy at 10.0.
German national Martin Kaymer comes in next at 11.0, with former four time Majors winner Phil Mickelson in at 12.0- a great outside bet for an individual on the rise
Top American odds are leaning towards Tiger- regardless of recent form.
Everyone is waiting for the Tiger comeback, with many viewing a team environment, coupled with a tournament that he has never really thrived in, as the perfect comeback setting.
Tiger is odds with William Hill at 5.0, with Steve Stricker next up at 6.0 at Ladbrokes
As much as this might seem the Tiger show, the mere fact that him even competing have the bookies in a spin.
For the 'Top Wildcard' odds, Ladbrokes is offering Tiger again as top of the list at 2.0, with Luke Donald at 5.0.
He should be a shoe-in for this one as we all know his capabilities, and coupled with the past few months, one would think that he has to come right soon.
This year's Ryder Cup will be a lot tighter than the one experienced in 2008, which saw the USA team, trounce the European contingent by 5 points.
The group is a lot more evenly matched this time around, and with youngsters such as McIlroy starting to show glimpses of greatness, coupled with the USA’s team equal showing of plain form, this could be an absolute classic
Betting Tip: Tiger to win the Wildcard top scorers at 2.0
