Sports Betting Site – Tiger Favored at World Golf Championships in Shanghai. Golf might get some attention in online sports betting site this week as the World Golf Championships take place in Shanghai, China. Tiger Woods is the favorite in sports betting with odds of 7-1 at Sbg global.com.
Tiger Favored Again
You shouldn’t be surprised to see Tiger favored again to win a golf tournament. Odds makers still haven’t gotten over their love affair with Tiger and they continually make him a favorite. And this is despite the fact he has not won a tournament in more than a year. We said throughout the golf season that Tiger had no business being favored but time and time again he was favored to win and he was never in contention. There is no reason he should be favored this week either.
Mickelson the Second Choice
It is pretty bad when the odds makers favor Tiger to win an event when he hasn’t won in over a year but it is almost as bad when they continually make Phil Mickelson the second choice. He hasn’t done anything either to be worth of being 10-1.
Martin Kaymer should be Favored
There is really no debate about who should be favored this week. It should be Martin Kaymer. He actually has the numbers where he is a deserving favorite. That doesn’t mean he will win as it is tough to pick a winner in golf but Kaymer should be favored. He is 12-1 this week and is a great bet at the sports betting site. He leads the European Tour in scoring average.
Other Contenders
Lee Westwood took over the number one spot in the World Golf rankings from Woods but he is not fully healthy and his odds are too low at 14-1. Paul Casey is getting some action at 18-1 and might be worth a look. Everyone else has odds of 20-1 or more. Grahme McDowell is coming off a win at the Andalucia Masters and is second in the Race to Dubai. Luke Donald had a chance to win but collapsed at the end. Donald is 20-1 while McDowell is 22-1. Ernie Els is playing well and he has the game to win this week. He is 22-1. Nick Watney and Padraig Harrington are also worth considering at 30-1.
