This year I am having a very tough time trying to narrow down the golfers I think could win this to those I will put money on.
To kick this thread off though here are some thoughts on some of the main contenders.
Tiger 5-1 Interesting to see how he handles the media this week, but a big price compared to previous years.
Lefty 14-1 Needs to sort out his driving to compete this week, not for me
Ernie Els 15-1 Playing great golf and in top form
Padraig 20-1 Relishes the majors but no value at that price
Stricker 29-1 Yet to show last years great form
Goosen 28-1 Great player but has proved to be unreliable when in contention lately
Casey 38-1 Has the game to win. pulled out last week with a shoulder injury is a concern
Westwood 25-1 His driving gives him a big advantage at Augusta but will the putting hold up on the slick greens
Villegas 42-1 At the top of his game and with putting problems behind him has a great chance
Poulter 38-1 Relishes the big stage and has the game to win here
Kaymer 50-1 Great golfer but has not impressed yet playing in the USA
Mcilroy 60-1 Great golfer but has not impressed yet playing in the USA
Schwartzel 60-1 Massive talent can compete with the best but a masters debutant is a big ask

As Andres Romero seems to have withdrawn I am now left with these outsiders that I feel have some value:
Mike Weir @ 110, K.J Choi @ 110, and Edoardo Molinari @ 250.

So cant wait to the masters!!
So far im on Kaymer Harrington Schwartzel and i really fancy Schwartzel for top debutant at around 7to2.
Woods out to 5's could be a redic price.

Ive taken Matt Kuchar each way in the top American without Woods market at 28/1 with Blue Sq.
I think this is a nice market to play in given Mickleson has looked all over the place recently. Kuchar is usually rock solid and playing well at the moment.

Tiger, 5-1, he won't be that price again in another 10 years.

It will have a massive effect.
Remember golf is mostly a game of mental strength, pressure on Tiger will be immense.
His head has been all over the place this year.
10-1 is a fair price for this event.

Point taken flushy but Tiger is a different man to the guy who was interviewed 6wks ago. a few key points from todays interview. He has been working hard on his game recently (hours and hours with Hank!) It has been several years since his fitness was at this level ( achilies, knee etc) At this event the crowd are going to be 100% behind him. It will be worth 10pts to bok your bet  |
