2009 President’s Cup Predictions
October 7, 2009
This Thursday, October 8th, 2009, the PGA Tour hosts the President’s Cup. Held at the Harding Park Golf Course in San Francisco, CA, the President’s Cup is somewhat like the Ryder Cup, as pits the best in the world, that is the entire world outside of the United States, against the best in the United States. The Ryder Cup is between the U.S. and the Europeans. The President’s Cup is between the U.S. and the rest of the world. If you want to bet on this event, check out the $500 match...
2009 PGA Championship Odds & First Round Update
August 14, 2009
It should come as no surprise to anyone that Tiger Woods came out firing at the last major of the season. After going winless in the first three of the season, he fired a first round 67 on Thursday to move to 5-under. Woods is one shot up on his playing partner, and the man he beat last week, Padraig Harrington. Harringing came into the event as one of the favorites himself as Bodog had him listed as a +800 favorite. This was the first time that Woods has managed to break 70 in the opening...
Tiger Woods Not Fined for Comments at Bridgestone
August 11, 2009
Yahoo! Sports originally reported on Monday that Tiger Woods would be fined by the PGA Tour for comments he made about a rules official for putting he and Padraig Harrington on the clock on the 16th hole. A tour official reportedly said there would be a fine for Woods saying to Harrington, “I’m sorry that John got in the way of a great battle”. However, Woods has now said, “I’ve heard from the tour and there’s no fine. That was an erroneous report”. The...
2009 Buick Open Betting Odds & Preview
July 29, 2009
This week’s sportsbook Buick Open odds are easier to handicap than your typical golf odds. Why? Because Tiger Woods is playing and, for whatever reason, no one else is. I can’t remember the last time Tiger faced a field this poor. How bad is it? He and Jim Furyk are the only members of the World Golf Top 30 playing in the tournament. Let’s break down the best picks for what should be a cakewalk. THE FAVORITE: Tiger Woods (+165) If the weak field isn’t reason enough to pick Tiger, try these...
2009 New Mexico Lobos NCAA Football Predictions
July 28, 2009
The New Mexico Lobos finished up the 2008 season at just 4-8 overall and were only 2-6 in Mountain West Conference play. It was the first time the Lobos finished with a losing record in conference play since they went 3-4 back in 2000. Heading into the 2009 season the Lobos will have a much different look to them, as long time head coach Rocky Long is no longer with the team. In comes new head coach Mike Locksley who will try and lead the Lobos to a winning year with just 9 starters back from last...
2009 Buick Open Predictions
July 28, 2009
The PGA Tour is coming off an exciting finish to the Canadian Open last week, where Nathan Green Was able to hold off Retief Goosen in a playoff. This week the tour heads to Warwick Hills Golf and Country Club for the 2009 Buick Open. This could end up being the final year of the event, as GM is debating on not sponsoring the event next year. To win at Warwick Hills golfers must score low, as this course had the second-lowest scoring average for single course hosted events in 2008. For example Tiger...
2009 RBC Canadian Open Predictions
July 21, 2009
This week the PGA Tour will stay out of the United States, as many golfers will make the trip from Scotland to Ontario for the 2009 RBC Canadian Open at Glen Abbey Golf Course. The Canadian Open is not always held at this course, as this is just the 4th time it has been held at Glen Abbey since 2000, but it will be the second straight season in a row at Glen Abbey. Last year it was Chez Reavie, who came out of no where to win his first and only PGA Tour event. What everyone is waiting to see is a...
Odds to Win 2009 Canadian Open
July 21, 2009
It’s no college football betting, but the PGA can still provide us with lots of sportsbook fun. Even this week’s Canadian Open is worth wagering on, as it features more good golfers than you may think and has some interesting storylines. Let’s examine a few of the more intriguing picks. Retief Goosen (+1600) Why he could win: Few golfers are more consistent than Goosen, who has missed just one cut all season. He’s also cracked the top 25 in four of five tournaments and he was very solid at...
2009 British Open Predictions
July 14, 2009
The 2009 British Open is just two days away, and after no Tiger Woods at this event in 2008, another big name is set to miss the action this year, as Phil Mickelson will not play this weekend. This year the Open Championship once again returns to Turnberry golf course, and it marks just the 4th time the tournament has been held on this course, and the first time since 1994 where Nick Price won his first and only British Open. The last two years at the Open Championship have belonged to Padraigh Harrington,...
Odds to Win 2009 John Deere Classic
July 7, 2009
This week’s John Deere odds don’t exactly showcase the who’s who of the PGA Tour since most of the top golfers are prepping for the British Open odds next week. However, the John Deere Classic does boast a few of the Tour’s hottest players and should come down to the wire. Let’s look at a few strong picks. KENNY PERRY (+715) The excellent ball striker Perry sets up well to win this event, as TPC Deere Run plays easy. He won his last tournament and there’s that...
2009 John Deere Classic Predictions
July 7, 2009
Tiger Woods made sure that he held the trophy at his own event, as he was able to hold off Hunter Mahan for a one shot lead at the AT&T National event last weekend. This week Woods will not be in action when the PGA Tour heads to Silvis, Illinois for the 2009 John Deere Classic at TPC At Deere Run. Last year Kenny Perry added to his win total with a playoff win here over Brad Adamonis and Jay Williamson. Perry along with many other top golfers on Tour are set to take aim at this relatively easy...
2009 AT&T National Predictions
June 30, 2009
We are fast approaching our country’s greatest holiday, as we get ready to celebrate the 4th of July this weekend. For some of the best golfers in the world they will be celebrating at Congressional Country Club in Washington D.C., as the PGA Tour gets ready for the 2009 AT&T National hosted by Tiger Woods. This will mark just the 3rd year for this event, so the list of Champions is pretty short. K.J. Choi got it started off with a win here in 2007, while Anthony Kim will be the man defending...
2009 Travelers Championship Predictions
June 23, 2009
After a long weekend at the US Open, where play was suspended a number of times and golfers were forced to finish up their final rounds on Monday morning, the PGA Tour packs its bags and heads to Connecticut for the 2009 Travelers Championship. While Bethpage Black might have played easier than many expected, it was still a very difficult golf course to manage and par was a good score on most of the holes. That will all change this weekend when action gets underway at TPC at River Highland. Shooting...
2009 US Open Betting Odds
June 16, 2009
The 109th US Open is just a couple of days away, as action is set to get underway this Thursday and conclude on Sunday, but as last year reminded us the tournament could go an extra day if there is a playoff. Unlike other tournaments where the playoff is usually sudden death, those tied after 4 rounds must play an extra round of golf on the following Monday. Tiger Woods is the defending champion of the US Open, as he won his 3rd US Open last year in dramatic fashion over Rocco Mediate. Unlike the...
2009 US Open Predictions
June 16, 2009
The US Open is known for putting the best players in the world up against some of the most difficult golf courses, and that will be just the case this weekend when the best in the world tee it up at Bethpage Black. This will be just the second time the US Open is to be held at this difficult venue. The course made its first appearance back in 2002, with none other than Tiger Woods coming out on top with an impressive score of 3 under. Woods was the only player to finish under par back in 2002, and...
2009 St. Jude Classic Predictions
June 9, 2009
This week the PGA Tour heads to Memphis for its annual stop at TPC Southwind for the St. Jude Classic, and with just one week separating the best players from the US Open, this is a great chance for many golfers to get their game at the level needed to win a major. Southwind sets up very similar to that of Muirfield Village where Tiger Woods won in come from behind fashion last week at the Memorial Tournament. Southwind has a difficult layout that makes it hard for players to find the green in regulation,...
2009 Memorial Tournament Predictions
June 2, 2009
With only two weeks separating the best golfers in the world from the 2009 US Open, this week is crucial for many golfers to get their game just where they want it, as many take the week leading up to the big major off to prepare their body and mind for the big event. This week the PGA Tour makes its annual stop at Muirfield Village Golf Clun in Dublin, Ohio for the 2009 Memorial Tournament. The key to success at Muirfield is not getting off the tee, but getting the ball from the fairway to the green,...
2009 Crown Plaza Invitational Predictions
May 26, 2009
This week the PGA Tour stays in Texas for the third and final week, as many golfers get ready to take aim at the 2009 Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas. Last year Phil Mickelson took home the trophy, but will be unable to defend his title, as he continues to take time off from his wife’s recent discovery of breast cancer. There will be 8 prior champions of this event in full swing this week, including 2007 winner and the winner of this past weekends Byron...
2009 Byron Nelson Championship Predictions
May 19, 2009
There was once so much promise for Adam Scott, and it looked like maybe he would get it going in 2009 after his runner up finish at the Sony Open, but it has all been downhill from there. Scott has failed to make a cut in his last 5 starts, and this week he will try and break that streak when he attempts to defend his title at the Byron Nelson Championship. To his credit Scott has battled some injuries, but if the injuries are causing him to play this bad maybe he should just take a nice break...
2009 Valero Texas Open Predictions
May 12, 2009
This Saturday the PGA Tour gets ready for an exciting weekend at La Cantera Golf Club, as some of the best golfers in the world get ready to tee it up at the 2009 Valero Texas Open. Now the field isn’t loaded with the big names of Tiger Woods or Phil Mickelson, but there are still plenty of good golfers ready to fight for the win this weekend. The key to success at La Cantera is making birdies, and making lots of them, as the average winning score on this course has been around 18 under...
2009 Players Championship Predictions
May 5, 2009
The Players Championship is considered by many the top golf tournament, thats not a major, so you can expect a field full of the best players in the world, as they compete for the highest prize pool of the season. Last year it was Sergio Garcia who came out on top, but don’t expect a repeat, as no player has been able to accomplish the feat since the tournament started up in 1974. Besides all the big names that come to play at TPC at Sawgrass, this tournament has arguably one of the best...
2009 Quail Hollow Championship Predictions
April 28, 2009
The PGA Tour stays in the southeast corner of the United States, as golfers will make the short trip from New Orleans to Charlotte, North Carolina for the 2009 Quail Hollow Championship. Besides the name change from the Wachovia Championship, the biggest news surrounding this event is the fact that Tiger Woods will once again be in action. Woods won this even back in 2007, but was unable to play because of his knee problems. With Woods not in the picture it opened the door for Anthony Kim, who...
2009 Zurich Classic Predictions
April 21, 2009
It was Brian Gay’s weekend to remember last week at the Verizon Heritage, as Gay shot a final round of 64 to finish up at 20 under. Gay was so much better than the rest of the field, that the next closest score was 10 under. This week the PGA Tour heads to TPC Louisiana for the 2009 Zurich Classic of New Orleans. Gay along with many of the top players in the world will be sitting this one out this weekend, so it could be another lesser named player making his way to the top this weekend....
2009 Verizon Heritage Predictions
April 14, 2009
It was a great weekend for golf fans last week at the Masters, as you couldn’t ask for a better finish to one of the biggest tournaments of the season. The key for the golfers who plan on playing this week at the Verizon Heritage is getting their mind in the right place after all the emotions that go along with playing at Augusta and trying to win the first major of the season. Many golfers don’t even bother playing the following week, including the top 2 players in the world in Tiger...
Ernie Els Odds to Win the Masters
April 7, 2009
The former No.1 golfer in the world will have his work cut out for him this weekend at the 2009 Masters, as Els has not won a major since winning the British Open in 2002. He does have 11 top ten finishes from 2003 in the 4 major events, including two runner-up finishes. Even without the any major victories over the last few years, its hard to forget about a golfer who has won 38 times throughout his career on the PGA and European Tours, but then again he hasn’t won on either tour in over...
Vijay Singh Odds to Win the Masters
April 7, 2009
It could be a short lived first major of the season for one of the best golfers to ever play the game, as Vijay Singh just doesn’t look like the golfer who finished 2008 as the FedEx Cup Champion. With the way Singh played last year it looked as though the 46-year-old was going to be playing real competitive golf all the way into his 50’s, but a bad knee and back just might be to much to over come this season. Singh does hold the record for most wins after the age of 40 with 22, but...
Odds on How Many Majors Tiger Woods Will Win in 2009
April 7, 2009
The first of the 4 major tournaments in professional golf, The Masters, starts tomorrow at Augusta National Gold Club, which has me thinking about what kind of year Tiger Woods can have in 2009, more specifically, how many majors the guy can win. Luckily for me, Sportsbook.com has the odds on just such a thing, and with Tiger having won his first tournament of the season, everyone’s eyes will be on him (not that they wouldn’t have been already) to see what else this already legendary...
Retief Goosen Odds to Win the Masters
April 7, 2009
The South African Retief Goosen will be looking to resurrect his career this week at the Masters, as the golfer has really fallen off the map in his last two years. Goosen has just one win on the PGA Tour and the European Tour since 2005, and that came on the European Tour back in early part of 2007. The Masters seem to put Goosen in a comfort zone, as he has really played well at Augusta. While Goosen has not been able to cash in with a green jacket, he does have two major championships under...
Zach Johnson Odds to Win the Masters
April 7, 2009
It wasn’t that long ago it was the big names of golf winning the Masters, as Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson combined to win 5 times from 2001-06, and that should be no surprise considering how well so many of golf’s greats have played at Augusta over their careers. That trend could be coming to an end, as Zach Johnson in 2007 and Trevor Immelman of last year came out of no where to win this event. While Johnson’s career defining win came at the Masters a couple years ago, Johnson...
Sergio Garcia Odds to Win the Masters
April 6, 2009
There aren’t many golfers that are as good as Sergio Garcia, who haven’t won a major championship. Garcia once again let a major slip away from him at the 2008 PGA Championship, as he had a lead going into the final 9 holes, but was unable to hold on and wound up finishing two strokes back to the eventual champion Padraig Harrington. It seems as though Garcia’s day will come, and he will win a major before his career is over, as he has 9 top 5 finishes between the 4 major events...
Padraig Harrington Odds to Win the Masters
April 6, 2009
If there was one player that took advantage of Tiger Woods missing the 2nd half of the 2008 season, it was Padraig Harrington, who went on to defend his title at the British Open and then backed that up with a win at the PGA Championship to finish off the major season for 2008. Harrington actually has more major wins (3) in the last two years than Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson have combined. With all the focus on Tiger coming back from knee surgery, few are talking about Harrington being just...
Tiger Woods Odds to Win the Masters
April 6, 2009
It’s not easy winning one major, let alone two, but when you are talking about Tiger Woods you pretty much throw normal out the window and expect amazing things to happen. Its been a long time since Tiger has played in a major, and the game of golf is sure glad to have him back in action, as ratings should sky rocket with this guy in the field. It would seem wise to think that a guy who hasn’t played in an event similar to a major for about 10 months to have some trouble in his first...
Phil Mickelson Odds to Win the Masters
April 6, 2009
It was here at the Masters where Phil Mickelson finally broke through and won a major back in 2004, after suffering for over a decade of failing to come up with the big win in the big event. Since that win in 2004, Mickelson has added two more major wins to his totals, including another win here at the Masters in 2006. Mickelson was unable to win with Tiger out of the picture last year at the British Open and the PGA Championship, and how special would it be to see a Tiger vs. Phil showdown on Sunday...
Geoff Ogilvy Odds to Win the Masters
April 6, 2009
So much of the attention this week at the Masters will be on the return of Tiger Woods and his first major since coming back from knee surgery, but don’t forget about Geoff Ogilvy, who comes into the Masters playing arguably the most consistent golf out of anyone right now. Ogilvy has had an excellent start to the 2009 season, as he is currently first in both the FedEx Cup Points and the money list. Ogilvy really came onto the golf scene back in 2005 finishing in the top 10 in both the British...
2009 Masters Predictions
April 6, 2009
It’s an exciting time in golf, as we are just a few days away from the 2009 Masters. For many fans its been a long time coming for this event, as so many viewers were turned away from the game last year when Tiger Woods was unable to take part in the final two majors because of injury, but the wait is over and Woods, who is coming off a win in his last start at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, will be looking for his first Masters win since 2005. After so many years of watching the top names...
2009 Masters Betting Odds
April 6, 2009
With 3 months of golf in the bag, its time for the first major of the season, as the best golfers in the world get ready to take aim at the 2009 Masters held annually at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia. First round action is set to get underway this Thursday and is scheduled to finish up on Easter Sunday with the winner being presented the coveted green jacket. All eyes will be on Tiger Woods, as Woods missed the last 2 majors of last season because of injuries. Woods got his first...
2009 Shell Houston Open Predictions
March 31, 2009
We are ever so close to the first major of the season, as the Masters are set to get underway next week, but the focus this week is on the golfers doing battle at the 2009 Shell Houston Open. While there will be no Tiger Woods in action this week, there are a number of great golfers set to take aim at Redstone Golf Club, including defending champion Johnson Wagner. It won’t be easy for a Wagner repeat this week, as he will have to take down some of the best golfers in the world, including No.2...
Odds to Win 2009 Masters
March 31, 2009
Tiger Woods came from behind last week at the Arnold Palmer Invitational to show the world that he is back on track after his knee injury. After that big win he’s once again the favorite to win the first major of the year when the 2009 Masters tees off next week at Augusta. Let’s also take a look at a few other golfers who have a chance to put on a green jacket come Sunday. If you plan on betting the Masters, BetUS will give you a $500 bonus if you deposit $500 in their sportsbook! Tigers...
2009 Arnold Palmer Invitational Picks & Predictions
March 24, 2009
The PGA Tour finishes up its three week stay in Florida this week at the 2009 Arnold Palmer Invitational in Orlando. The tournament brings another start for Tiger Woods, who is the defending champion of this event, and this marks a big tournament for Woods, as there is only 2 weeks till the Masters. In fact many players this weekend will be fine tuning their games for the Masters, but still looking for a big win on Palmer’s home course. With the tournament just a couple days away, here is a...
2009 WGC-CA Championship Picks & Predictions
March 10, 2009
Its been a pretty good start to the 2009 season for golf fans, as the anticipation of Tiger Woods coming back into action has got the world dying to see this guy golf after 8 months of watching golf without him. Woods finally made his appearance back on the links a couple weeks ago at the WGC-Accenture Matchplay Championship, but many still were unable to see him play, as he was knocked out in the 2nd round. This week Woods and nearly every top golfer in the world will be hitting up the Blue Monster...
2009 Honda Classic Predictions
March 3, 2009
While it wasn’t the start to the 2009 season that many expected from Tiger Woods, as he was knocked out in the 2nd round last week by Tim Clark in the Accenture Match PLay Championship, there was a ton of great golf, and Geoff Ogilvy took home the trophy for the second time in his career. This week the PGA Tour heads to Florida for the 2009 Honda Classic. The defending champion is Ernie Els, and he will be looking to repeat here after a strong performance last week at the Match Play Championship....
2009 WGC Accenture Match Play Championship Predictions
February 24, 2009
Its rare that you get so many of the best golfers all in action at the same time, and its not one of the 4 PGA Tour majors, but this Wednesday the 2009 WGC Accenture Match Play Championship gets underway from the Ritz- Carlton GC with the top 64 golfers broken down into 4 brackets much like the NCAA does its March Madness bracketing with its top 64 teams. While the head to head battles are exciting and a lot of fun to watch, the big news surrounding this tournament is Tiger Woods makes his return...
2009 Northern Trust Open Betting Picks & Predictions
February 17, 2009
This week golfers will be heading to the old and very difficult Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, California for the 2009 Northern Trust Open. Its been a pretty easy start for golfers this season, as a number of the courses played so far have been loaded with birdie opportunities, but that won’t be the case this week when a packed field attacks the narrow fairways and small greens of Riviera. The defending Champion is Phil Mickelson, but his play has been no where near his standards...
2009 AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am Predictions & Odds
February 11, 2009
This Thursday the PGA Tour will head to the always fun Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, where fans get to see what some celebrities can do on the links. When it is all said and done the attention focuses back on the guys who do this for a living, and last year Steve Lowry was able to walk away with the hardware, and the year before it was Phil Mickelson. With a pretty stacked field ready to attack the 3 golf courses this tournament uses, we thought it would be a good idea to give you 3 golfers we...
2009 Buick Invitational Predictions
February 4, 2009
One thing is for sure this week when the PGA TOUR heads to San Diego this weekend for the 2009 Buick Invitational, Tiger Woods streak of 4 straight wins will finally come to an end, and many golfers have to be happy that Woods and his 6 career wins on this course will not be in action. Another player that won’t be in action this week is Kenny Perry, who won for the 4th time in a little over a year last week at the FBR Open. The guy getting most of the attention this week will be Phil Mickelson,...
FBR Open Predictions & Odds
January 28, 2009
It was just what we expected last week at the Bob Hope Classic as golfers lit up the course with birdie after birdie, and Pat Perez was the big winner after shooting a 5 round total of 33 under to win by 3 strokes over John Merrick. This week the PGA TOUR stays out west, as golfers head to Scottsdale, Arizona for the 2009 FBR Open. Defending champion JB Holmes will look to make it two in a row, after holding off Phil Mickelson in a playoff last year, but all eyes will be focused on Mickelson,...
2009 Bob Hope Classic Picks, Odds, & Predictions
January 21, 2009
The PGA TOUR is headed on a west coast swing, and this weekend golfers will be attacking PGA West Arnold Palmer Private Course in La Quinta, California for the 50th anniversary of the Bob Hope Classic. DJ Trahan was your 2008 winner of this event, as he shot a 67 on the final day to win by 3 strokes. Last week Zach Johnson continued his great play of late, as he won the the Sony Open by two shots over Adam Scott, but Johnson will not be in action this weekend. With birdies likely coming in bunches...
2009 Sony Open Picks, Odds, & Predictions.
January 13, 2009
The PGA TOUR is back in action as Geoff Ogilvy ran away with the first win of the 2009 season, winning the Mercedes-Benz Championship last week shooting 24 under for the tournament. This week golfers stay in beautiful Hawaii for the 2009 Sony Open from Waialae Course One. Last year K.J. Choi was able to tackle the difficult course, and will be in the field looking to defend his title this weekend. Waialae plays short and tight, so hitting fairways an greens is a must to have success on this course....

2008 BMW Championship Predictions
September 3, 2008
Thursday Sept. 4th the 3rd leg of the FedEx Cup Playoff system gets underway at the 2008 BMW Championship. While the thought was to make the new point system so that one player couldn’t take a huge lead and run away with it, but after Vijay Singh took home the Deutsche Bank Champhionship by 5 strokes over Mike Weir, he has a pretty commanding lead. Singh has now won the first two events of the playoffs, and has a near 12000 point lead over Sergio Garcia. So it looks like you can pretty much...
2008 Deutsche Bank Championship
August 25, 2008
With only 3 more tournaments left to determine who is the winner of the PGA Tours 2nd annual playoff system, Vijay Singh took the early lead after beating Sergio Garcia in a playoff at the Barclays. This week the playoffs head to Boston, for the 2008 Deutsche Bank Championship. Last year Phil Mickelson was able to hold off Tiger Woods for the win this weekend, and if Mickelson wants to win this playoff race, a win could really go a long way in that happening. With so many players still in contention...
2008 Barclays Predictions
August 18, 2008
With the regular season wrapped up the PGA Tour now heads into its 2nd annual and highly anticipated FedEX Cup Playoffs. The defending champion Tiger Woods won’t be in action in any of the events, and even though he is the current leader it will be up to someone else to take home the trophy in 2008. To get the playoffs up and running this week golfers will head to The Barclays in New Jersey, as they will attempt to take down Ridgewood Country Club. The defending champion of this event will...
2008 Wyndham Championship Predictions
August 12, 2008
For a guy like Tiger Woods the 2008 PGA Tour season couldn’t end any faster, as he sits at home nursing an injury, but for many golfers it marks a time where the top 144 golfers take part in the 2nd annual FedEX Cup Playoffs, and the rest of the field either sits at home or joins the Nationwide Tour. Last week golf fans saw a bit of a repeat as Padraig Harrington took home his 2nd straight major, as he came from behind in the final round on Sunday to win the PGA Championship over Sergio Garcia...
2008 PGA Championship Predictions
July 29, 2008
Just two weeks ago we were talking about the British Open, and now we are just one week away from the final major of the season, the 2008 PGA Championship. Winning a major is what many golfers consider something you must do before you are doneplaying , in order to have a successful career. But winning the PGA Championship has a little extra incentive to go with it as well, the champion of this event has a free invitation to the 4 majors for the next 5 years, they never have to qualify for the PGA...
2008 WGC-Bridgestone Invitational
July 28, 2008
