TIGER WOODS ODDS DROP SHARPLY TO WIN 2010 PGA CHAMPIONSHIP
For the first time since I've been writing about online golf betting, I had never seen Tiger Woods not considered the favourite to win a tournament. After a few disappointing displays, including a career-worst in his last start, virtually all bookmakers listed Phil Mickelson as the outright favourite to win this one.
As it originally stood, Phil Mickelson's odds to win the 2010 PGA Championship were priced at 15/1 while Tiger Woods was a large step back at a 17/1 price.
It might be early days for the 2010 PGA Championship but, at the time of this writing, Tiger Woods is -3 thru 4 holes. All that practice and coaching changes could very well be paying dividends and if Woods can keep this momentum going then I think he's a shoe-in to win his way onto the US Ryder Cup team.
Tiger Woods odds to win the 2010 PGA Championship are currently trading at 11/2 with popular UK bookmaker Ladbrokes. Phil Mickelson is priced at 14/1 alongside Rory McIlroy. Retief Goosen can be had at a 17.0 price tag. Padraig Harrington is priced at 21.0.
Steve Sticker is playing on his local course here and he's trading at 26.0 alongside the talented Martin Kaymer. Jim Furyk can also be had at 26.0. Ernie Els, Paul Casey, Hunter Mahan and Stuart Appleby are all priced at 34.0.
Match betting is going to be available on a number of quality players and you can also lock in some some solid odds on 3 ball and mythical two-ball selections.
Keep in mind that there is also live betting available on this one so you can lock-in a bet on Tiger if you think he's going to extend his lead.
