The PLAYERS CHAMPIONSHIP pga golf


Recommended Posts

Its only now, bookmakers realize TIGER WOODS, is actually human and cant possibly win every week, fact he has won only once from four starts since he came back from knee surgery, he still gets skinny quotes from the layers and to take these prices and get on a losing run, well, divorces are on the cards! So this week at The PLAYERS CHAMPIONSHIP in USA, lets take another runner back from injury, LUKE DONALD. Only last year he was on top of his game, in the top ten in the world rankings and swinging it for fun, then he done his wrist, its took sometime to mend, but two weeks ago he shot in the low 60,s the last two days and i believe he is spot on for this week. Taking this tournament is called by many "THE FIFTH MAJOR", its important to put in a good showing, not only the masses of money to be won, but world ranking and fed ex points up for grabs. Im expecting odds of around 40-1, but i think all the brits might lump on this, so get on early, considering LUKE has already won several times in the states, he realy is overpriced. All four days are on Setanta, so sit back and enjoy an English Winner in America, be lucky....;)

Re: The PLAYERS CHAMPIONSHIP pga golf Interesting points regarding the Players Championship.Tiger Woods is 4/1 across most of the major bookmakers and just to note that Paddy Power and Boylesports are offering 6 places on this event. I reckon that although Tiger Woods has yet to convince a few people since his return, one of these days he is going to romp a tournament and people will be seeing the 4/1 was massive and we probably wont see it again for a couple of years! Its certainly a quality field but I personally will be giving Luke Donald a berth as he's yet to convince me since his own return from injury.I would probably rather back Poulter who albeit is always erratic has developed a tendency recently to show the odd flash of brilliance in the big events and at 66/1 is worth a small investment in my book if I had to choose a home grown player. Looking at the events history, Tiger hasnt won it since 2001 whilst last years winner Sergio Garcia hasnt exactly been setting the golfing world alight recently.Big Phil is second favourite at 12/1 and won it back in 2007 and will no doubt have his followers at this price.Davis Love could be worth a shout at 80/1 having won it twice previously and is back to a decent level of form as of late.Speaking of old timers, Fred Couples has been re-living his glory days recently and he too is a previous winner and is a whopping 150/1 with Boylesports who are offering the extra place.Overall I think I will play the event as follows: 1 point ew Davis Love 80/1 Blue Square 1/4 1-5 0.5 points ew Fred Couples 150/1 Boylesports 1/4 1-6 0.5 points ew Ian Poulter 66/1 vcbet 1/4 1-5 2 points win Phil Mickelson 12/1 vcbet 1/4 1-5
