Sportsbetting has Sergio Garcia well behind Tiger Woods in PGA Championship odds this week. Garcia is always asked why he has never won a major. “I’ve had my chances,” he said, “Unfortunately, I haven’t taken them, but it’s just a matter of keep going, keep going at it, and believing that you can do it.” Sergio is 35-1 in sports betting online odds to win this week’s PGA Championship at the online sportsbook.
Sportsbetting attention at the sportsbook has been on Garcia for years but he has never come through in the major tournaments. Garcia was considered a budding superstar in golf but he has never gotten the monkey off his back in a major tournament. It may not happen in sportsbetting this week either with the 2009 PGA Championship. Garcia is not even considered one of the major contenders in sports betting online this week.
It is not like Garcia has not had his chances in sportsbetting to win a major. He was in the final group with Tiger at the U.S. Open in 2002 and in the 2006 British Open. He was with Padraig Harrington last year in the PGA and in the 2007 British Open he was a sure sportsbetting winner but couldn’t make a 10-foot putt.
It has not helped Garcia that he has become known as a whiner in golf. He simply has not had very many good things to say. Sportsbetting stats tell us that Garcia has won a lot of tournaments, just no majors. He was won seven times on the PGA tourney and another 11 times around the world. But majors are where you get the recognition in golf and in sports betting online and Garcia doesn’t have a win. It used to be Mickelson heard all the questions before he won his first major. Now it is Garcia. “My game, I’ve been working hard on it. It’s still not where I would like it to be,” said Garcia, “Hopefully I can get it sorted out. If I manage to hit the ball the way I know I can hit it and my short game is in good shape, we could have a good chance here.”
Tiger is the heavy favorite in sportsbetting at the online sportsbook to win this week’s PGA Championship while Sergio is not given much chance in sports betting online at the sportsbook.
