Can Tiger Woods win the PGA Title?
In case you haven’t noticed, he has yet to bag his first major of the year.
Although Tiger Woods won this past weekend’s WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, he is batting .000 at golf majors this year. Tiger finished sixth at the Masters and the U.S. Open and missed the cut at the British Open.
With the final major of the year, the 2009 PGA Championship, beginning on Thursday, you can be sure Tiger will be gunning for the top; as always he is the odds-on favorite to win at +140 from the posted golf betting odds at SPORTSBETTING.COM.
While Tiger hasn’t won a major, he has had a solid year in 2009, picking off a few tournaments as he comes back from knee surgery. And if it means anything, Tiger enters the last major of the year having won his last two consecutive tournaments, the Bridgestone and the Buick Open (making it five wins in 2009).
While Woods missed last year’s event, he did win the last two PGA Championships before that (2006 and 2007).
Meanwhile, Padraig Harrington blew up late in his final round last week, handing the Bridgestone Invitational to Woods. He now heads to Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minnesota as the defending champ of PGA championship. Online sportsbooks have him listed at +1000 to defend his title.
With the exception of last weekend’s second place finish, Harrington has had a horrible season, missing the cut in six of his 15 tournaments this year.
Besides the missed cuts, he finished no higher than 11th (Arnold Palmer Invitational) and as low 65 (British Open).
Did this past weekend represent a turning point for the Irish golfer? Bettors aren’t buying into it, with very little money showing up on Harrington heading into Thursday’s tee off.
Phil Mickelson finished in 58th place at the Bridgestone Invitational last week, but is hoping that he plays like he did at the U.S. Open, where he finished tied for second with David Duval.
He is listed at +800 to win the final major. SPORTSBETTING.COM is reporting reasonable interest in Mickelson from the sports betting public, as he’s received 17 percent of the action on the prop ‘’Who will win the PGA Championship?’’
