US Open Odds Have Tiger Woods As Strong Favourite
Tuesday 16 June 2009 at 11:17
 Three time US Open Champion Tiger Woods is the favourite to win in the US Open Odds that are available with all of the best bookies this week.
Tiger Woods Back To Best
Tiger Woods won the tournament last year, in 2002 and in 2000 and he looks to have an outstanding chance having proved he is pretty much back to full fitness last time out. Anyone wanting to back Tiger Woods may be surprised to hear that he is available at 15/8 with Coral and Sportingbet, that seems a generous price and he is surely worth a bet to make it four.
Mickelson Hoping To Make It Another US Victory
Although there has only been one American winner in the last five years, the Americans have dominated the US Open in recent history, they have won eleven renewals of the US Open since 1990. That could be a good omen for general second favourite Phil Mickelson who like Woods, seems overpriced to win the US Open, he can be backed at 16/1 with SkyBet and Boylesports.
Previous Winners A Plenty
There are plenty of previous winners with a seemingly equal chance of winning. Geoff Ogilvy, who won in 2006, is 20/1 with Totesport and Blue Square, Jim Furyk, who won in 2003, is 22/1 with Blue Square and Ratief Goosen, who won in 2001 and 2004, is 40/1 with Sportingbet and Paddy Power.
Full Betting Odds
Other interesting players include Paul Casey who is 25/1 with Bet365 and Rory McIlroy who is 50/1 with Totesport. For full US Open odds click on any of the bookie links above.
