US PGA Championship 2010 Wont Be Won By Tiger Woods According To Betting Odds
Sunday 08 August 2010 at 16:03
 What a difference a year makes! Punters were diving in at odds of under 2/1 to back Tiger Woods for the US PGA Championship in 2009 and now bookmakers including William Hill and Skybet are offering a massive 10/1 that Woods can win the PGA in 2010.
Mickelson A More Likely Victor Than Winless Woods
Phil Mickelson won the PGA Championship in 2005 and has finished in the top ten on seven other occasions in the last Major of the season. Statistics such as this indicate why the bookies have made Mickelson favourite this week at a best priced 9/1 with Boylesports.
Tiger Woods is having a difficult time both on and off the golf course and last week's awful effort at one of his favourite courses, Firestone, was the final straw for bookmakers to push the fourteen time Major Champion into territory he surely can only vaguely remember – not being favourite for a golf tournament.
It is too early to write off Woods as many punters and pundits are sure to do and Tiger is sure to come back fighting. If you feel the bookmakers have made a mistake this week with Tiger's price, take advantage of the 10/1 with William Hill and Skybet.
Westwood Out Through Injury So McIlroy Heads European Challenge
Lee Westwood has had to give way this week due to a calf injury so Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy will be flying the European flag in an attempt to become only the second European winner of this tournament after Padraig Harrington in 2008.
McIllroy is a best-priced 20/1 with Stan James to win the USPGA Championship.
Nick Watney The Best Outside Bet In US PGA Championship
Punters wanting to look outside the favourites should head for the best-available price about Nick Watney as the twenty-nine-year-old from California looks sure to win a Major in the near future and his current quote of 66/1 from Stan James is way too big.
This price may not last long but quotes of 50/1 from Ladbrokes and Coral are still very much worth investigating for a player who has already finished in the top ten in the US Masters and British Open this year.
