The Players Championship Golf Tiger Woods Betting

Golf’s unofficial fifth major gets underway at Sawgrass this week amid the rare circumstance that Tiger Woods could lose his status as World number one upon conclusion of The Players Championship. If Phil Mickelson follows up his US Masters victory and second place finish at the Quail Hollow Championship with a win this week, and Woods finishes outside of the top five, then Mickelson will achieve the number one status.

Woods of course missed the cut in the Quail Hollow Championship last week, only the sixth time in his career that he has failed to make it to the third day of a professional golf tournament. And as a result we are seeing some unusually big prices on him to win at Sawgrass this weekend, a feat he has only achieved once previously. Extrabet (Go to Extrabet ») offer the best price of all the online bookmakers on Tiger Woods, they go 9/1 on the current World number one.

And the pretender to the throne? Stan James (Go to Stan James ») are also offering odds of 9/1 on Lefty to continue his recent streak of good form by winning The Players Championship.

Aside from the two market principles Rory McIlroy will be looking to build on his Quail Hollow victory where he became the youngest PGA Tour winner since Woods, he is 22/1 with Coral (Go to Coral ») . Last year’s winner Henrik Stenson is 50/1 with Totesport (Go to Totesport ») and 2008 winner Sergio Garcia is 55/1 with the same bookmaker.
