TIGER WOODS FAVOURITE TO WIN THE PLAYERS CHAMPIONSHIP SAYS PADDY POWER

Good news for golf betting fans as Paddy Power as Paddy Power have just announced this morning that they will be offering up an extra place special on each-way betting for the 2009 Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass. The venerable Irish bookmaker has Tiger Woods listed at 4/1 for the outright win and after just missing out last week, he will be in here with something to prove. Tiger at 4/1 is always a solid bet, because if he has anything resembling a respectable first day, his odds usually drop to below evens. Phil Mickelson sits at 10/1 and then there's a big gap between the top two and the rest of the field. Geoff Ogilvy and Sean O'Hair are both available at 28/1 with Kenny Perry at 33/1. Sergio Garcia sits at 35/1 alongside Jim Furyk and Luke Donald. Ernie Els and Retief Goosen are deadlocked at 40/1.Paddy is also offering up an insurebet option for wagering on the 2009 TPC. The Insurebet is a great way to hedge your bets here as you'll get your stake back if your selection finishes top 5 and you'll be paid out at reduced odds if they win. Tiger is available at 2/1 with Phil Mickelson at 7/1. You can bet the Big Two (Tiger and Phil) against the field. You can back these top two at 9/4 and you can back the field at 2/7. A good selection there if you're betting on Tiger and looking for a small hedge. You can back Top European Player, Top Australian/New Zealand player and top South African player as well! Paddy Power always goes above and beyond the call of duty for all golf bets.
