Golf is a great sport to bet on.
Most bookies offer 6 places at a quarter of the odds for each way bets when the big tournaments come along.
One such tournament is the Players Championship at Sawgrass which starts today.
I’ve backed a somewhat happier with his game Padraig Harrington at a delicious 100/1.. A place here would do just fine.
Some decent odds … Shop around on the major bookie sites for prices on the likes of ever reliable Lee Westwood, world number one Luke Donald, the mercurial big hitters Keegan Bradley and Louis Oosthuizen. Phil Mickelson is always a steady prospect for a top 6 and if young Rory McIlroy gets a head of steam the rest should watch out.
I’ve done some outsiders in Harrington and Cameron Tringale. I’ve also put a little on Oosthuizen at 35/1.
Come the cut tomorrow night, I may venture further.
