PGA Golf Betting Preview
- Cink Leads AT and T Classic Odds
Stewart
Cink had a middling result both in
last week’s Players Championship
sports betting event and last year’s
AT&T Classic, but anyone doing some
online golf betting this week has already
noticed that he’s pegged as the
favorite to roll to the victory at TPC
Sugarloaf in Duluth, Georgia.
Cink ended
up in a tie for 21st place at the Players
Championship last week, nine strokes
behind eventual winner Sergio Garcia.
And at last year’s AT&T
Classic at TPC Sugarloaf, Cink finished
nine strokes back of first-place Zach
Johnson. Still, with a weakened field
at the PGA Tour’s stop this week
Cink enters play as the +1000 favorite.
Johnson
won the AT&T Classic in
both 2007 and 2004 (when it was called
the Bell South Classic), taking last
year’s tournament in a playoff.
Last week didn’t go so well for
Johnson – he shots rounds of 76
and 79 en route to missing the cut in
the Players Championship. Still, the
oddsmakers at BetUS have him pegged at
+1200 for this week.
Retief
Goosen managed to make the cut at the
Players Championship last week, but
weekend scores of 77 and 75 put him
into a tie for 51st place at the end
of the event. Goosen, though, won the
Bell South Classic in 2002, and he sits
second on the odds list for this week’s
tournament at just +1100 odds (he didn’t
play in this tourney last season).
Ben Crane
also skipped this sports betting event
last year, but he won the Bell South
Classic title back in 2003. Crane ended
up six strokes behind Garcia in a tie
for sixth place at last week’s
Players Championship, and he is tied
with Hunter Mahan at +2200 to win this
weekend.
David Toms
and Camilo Villegas are each listed
at +2500 odds to win the AT&T
Classic, with Briny Baird and Kenny Perry
at +3000, Ryuji Imada and Jonathan Byrd
at +3300, and each of Heath Slocum, Lucas
Glover, and Steve Flesch at +3500. Steve
Elkington, Nick O’Hern, Steve Marino,
Dean Wilson, and Charles Howell are at
+4000.
Matt Kuchar
and Troy Matteson finished behind Johnson
and Imada in a tie for third place
last year, but they’re
farther down the odds list for this week – Kuchar
is at +7000, and Matteson is at +5000.
Scott McCarron, who won the Bell South
Classic in both 1997 and 2001, is a longshot
+11000 odds. Paul Goydos, who lost last
week’s Players Championship in
the playoff versus Garcia, is pegged
at +7500 odds for this weekend.
Overseas
the golfers of the European Tour will
be participating in the Irish Open
at Adare Manor Hotel & Golf
Resort this week. Padraig Harrington
won this event last season, the first
time in 25 years that an Irishman has
claimed that trophy. Other past winners
include Thomas Bjorn (2006), Stephen
Dodd (2005), Brett Rumford (2004), and
Michael Campbell (2003), while Garcia
picked up the victory in this event back
in 1999.
After competing at TPC Sugarloaf the
golfers of the PGA Tour will head to
Colonial Country Club in Forth Worth,
Texas for the Crowne Plaza Invitational.
The tour will then take part in the Memorial
Tournament and the Stanford St. Jude
Championship before competing in the
U.S. Open from June 12 to 15.
The European Tour will stage the BMW
PGA Championship in Surrey, England next
week, and then move on to Wales and Austria
before many of their top golfers head
stateside for the U.S. Open in mid-June.
