US Masters Golf Betting Analysis from PinnacleSports.com
60% Better Golf Betting Odds for US Masters Running April 5-8
The 2007 US Masters tees off on Thursday at Augusta, the first of the quartet of major tournaments in the golfing calendar. Naturally it will be Tiger Woods that grabs all the headlines prior to the tournament, deservedly heading the betting market with oddsmakers, www.PinnacleSports.com at 2.550.
It’s All About Tiger
Woods has bagged 12 majors, including both in the second half of last season, taking the USPGA and British Open and setting up the possibility of a hat-trick with a win at Augusta. Woods blossomed the longer last season went on, winning seven consecutive tournaments on the US Tour, and he remains the man to beat. Though he clearly needs little additional motivation, with his wife, Elin, expecting in July, Woods can be expected to be gunning for the Masters, as he has stated that the birth of their first child takes priority over golf, including defence of his British Open title.
Augusta is of course where Woods, literally made his name. In 1997 a fresh-faced Eldrick Woods, as he was listed in the media guide, blew the field away by the biggest margin in a major championship since 1862, and ever since has been known simply as Tiger. You would get long odds on another 12 shot win, in fact the Masters have been won on a playoff in two of the last four years. Woods’ abilities are however, considered so much better than his nearest rivals, that most bookmakers, such as www.PinnacleSports.com, offer the World no.1 versus around 90 players, with Pinnacle’s line set at 2.55 Woods, 1.606 The Field.
Can’t See the Woods for the Trees?
Though it might be difficult to get away from the Tiger factor, there are plenty of quality golfers in that field. Phil Mickelson is a Masters specialist, winning in 2004 & 2006. Though ‘Lefty’ has already struck on the US Tour winning at Pebble Beach in February, he normally reserves his ‘A’ games for the majors, and is priced 9.50 2nd favourite with www.PinnacleSports.com. Vijay Singh is also a past-Masters winner, who is in his best form for some time, with two tour wins so far this season, priced 19.0. Looking further down the list Charles Howell III could be popular at 41.0, having shown his mettle by beating Mickelson in a play-off at the 2007 Nissan Open. Howell has also recorded a 2nd and five top-ten finishes taking him to 3rd on the Money List. World no.5 Adam Scott, won the Houston Open last weekend – his 5th PGA Tour win – and the Australian, 33.50, has long been tipped to pick up a major.
Europe may be dominating the Ryder Cup but it’s a different story in golf’s four majors. You have to go back 29 major championships to 1999, and Paul Lawrie’s victory at the British Open for the last European success. In the same year Spaniard, Jose Maria Olazabal, donned the Masters green jacket on at Augusta in 1999, but it’s a been a long barren spell since. In recent years the trophy has been mostly passed between America’s Phil Mickelson, winner in two of the last three seasons (including last year) and four-time winner Tiger Woods. With seven Europeans currently in the World top 20, hopes are high for a change this time around.
If, however you can’t see beyond Woods, www.PinnacleSports.com have a huge variety of other propositions, which will guarantee to make the four days of the Masters even more exciting.
