Tiger Woods made his FedExCup playoff
debut in the Deutsche Bank Championship
at TPC Boston over the weekend, but it
was rival Phil Mickelson who walked away
from that tourney with the first-place
prize money and the lead in the postseason
standings.
So if you’re planning on doing some
golf betting this week, do you go back
to Woods? The world’s top-ranked
player ended up in a three-way tie for
second place at the Deutsche Bank Championship,
posting the same -14 score as both Brett
Wetterich and Arron Oberholser (Lefty finished
at -16). Woods now trails both Mickelson
and Steve Stricker in the FedExCup standings,
thanks in large part to him skipping the
first tournament of the playoff schedule
two weekends ago (The Barclays at Westchester).
Aaron Baddeley,
Geoff Ogilvy, Rory Sabbatini, and Robert
Allenby rounded out the Top 8 at TPC
Boston, while Stricker, Fredrik Jacobson,
Sean O’Hair, Camilo Villegas,
and Troy Matteson ended up in a tie for
ninth place. Vijay Singh finished way back
in 60th place on the weekend, while K.J.
Choi withdrew after the first round with
a back injury.
So here’s
how the FedExCup standings look after
the first two playoff tournaments:
01 Phil Mickelson --- 108,613
02 Steve Stricker --- 106,200
03 Tiger Woods --- 103,733
04 K.J. Choi --- 102,900
05 Rory Sabbatini --- 102,388
06 Vijay Singh --- 99,108
07 Jim Furyk --- 98,963
08 Geoff Ogilvy --- 97,954
09 Adam Scott --- 97,827
10 Zach Johnson --- 97,623
Ernie Els skipped
the Deutsche Bank Championship, and as
a result he dropped four spots in the
standings to 14th place (with 96,967
points). Els, though, is expected back
for this week’s FedExCup tournament,
the BMW Championship at Cog Hill Golf & Country
Club in Lemont, Illinois, and he’ll
be looking for a big finish to move up
the list.
But Els won’t
be competing against both Woods and Mickelson.
Tiger will be present, but Lefty implied
that he might miss the event in his post-round
comments in Boston – and then confirmed
his absence on Tuesday afternoon. Mickelson
cited family reasons for skipping the event
and losing a chance to pad his lead atop
the FedExCup standings.
Also not heading to
the BMW Championship this week are many
top names who failed to crack the Top 70
of the FedExCup standings at Labor Day’s
conclusion. Heading that list is Retief
Goosen, who fell to 89th in the standings
after missing the cut over the weekend.
Others not qualifying for this week’s
tournament at Cog Hill were Davis Love
III, Chris DiMarco, Mike Weir, Jose Maria
Olazabal, Tom Lehman, and Justin Leonard.
Who won last year’s
BMW Championship? Technically, nobody.
This tournament is new for 2007, as it
replaces the Western Open on the PGA Tour’s
schedule. However, the Western Open was
played at Cog Hill from 1991 to 2006; Trevor
Immelman won that event last year, Furyk
won in 2005, and Stephen Ames won in 2004.
Woods was the Western Open champion in
2003, 1999, and 1997, while Stricker was
first back in 1996.
So who is leading
the golf odds list for this year’s
Cog Hill event? Here are the favorites:
Odds To Win The BMW
Championship
* Tiger Woods +125
* Ernie Els +1200
* Jim Furyk +1400
* Geoff Ogilvy +2200
* Adam Scott +2500
* Vijay Singh +2500
* Rory Sabbatini +2800
* Sergio Garcia +3000
* Steve Stricker +3000
* K.J. Choi +3300
* Justin Rose +3300
* Trevor Immelman +3500
* Arron Oberholser +3500
* Luke Donald +4000
* Scott Verplank +5000
* Lucas Glover +5500
* Hunter Mahan +5500
After competing at
Cog Hill this weekend the golfers of the
PGA Tour will head to East Lake Golf Course
in Atlanta, Georgia for the 2007 TOUR Championship.
Or, rather, 30 golfers of the PGA Tour
will make that trip – the Top 30
in the FedExCup standings. The player atop
those standings after Atlanta will head
home with an extra $10 million.
