Ryder Cup 2010 Tips And Betting Odds Suggest That Europe Will Be Too Strong For The USA
Saturday 25 September 2010 at 17:44
 Europe have not lost a Ryder Cup at home since 1993 and the bookmakers are making the hosts hot favourites to lift the Ryder Cup again at Celtic Manor in 2010.
Tiger Woods And Co Could Struggle Against Powerful Europe
Tiger Woods' inclusion as a wildcard by USA captain Corey Pavin has ensured that the Ryder Cup viewing figures will be sky high but the bookmakers remain unfazed at the prospect of an overseas win with VC Bet and Coral making the USA a 7/4 chance to win the Cup in Wales. The layers believe the Europeans have the much stronger team as well as home advantage and 8/11 is a stand-out price on Europe in the bookmakers' village with Skybet. A close match can never be ruled out with Paddy Power and Sportingbet making the Tie an 11/1 shot.
Poulter Can Take Charge For Europe
Europe have a very strong team in comparison to the USA with two recent major winners in Martin Kaymer and Graeme McDowell as well as the experience of Lee Westwood and the promise of Rory McIlroy. Added into that is the passion for the Ryder Cup displayed by Ian Poulter at Valhalla in 2008 when the Englishman was by far Europe's best player. Poulter is a 10/1 shot to be Top European again this time with Skybet and Coral and despite such hot opposition the WGC Matchplay Champion is at his best in this discipline and has the necessary aggression to intimidate the opposition.
Hunter Mahan Can Build On Unbeaten Record For USA
Of the players that have played before in the Ryder Cup, Team USA have a sketchy record to say the least with the likes of Woods, Mickelson and Furyk all losing a good deal more of their matches than they have won. In the circumstances it may be best to rely on Hunter Mahan in the top USA scorer market where he is a best priced 11/1 with Stan James. Mahan remained unbeaten at Valhalla in the Ryder Cup of 2008 and whilst he will be experiencing very different conditions in Wales he has finished 6th in a British Open so should be able to adapt to the conditions in the UK.
