Pick The Winners and Win $50

In the world of golf and the sports betting world, the British Open will take center stage this week. With baseball taking their All-Star break early in the week, the UFC 100 in the rear view mirror, and nothing much else happening in sports on either side of the pond, the third major of the golf season will get plenty of attention.

Online sportsbook posted the odds up for the Open Championship a while back, and as you would expect, Tiger Woods is the big favorite (the only time Tiger isn’t the big favorite in a golf tourney is when he’s on the sidelines).

SPORTSBETTING(dot)com has Tiger at 9-4 odds to win, with Sergio Garcia slotted in behind him at a distant 20-1. Garcia has never won a major, but has finished in the top five a number of times, including placing second in this tourney in 2007.

Padraig Harrington has won consecutive Opens, but has been struggling this season. However, there are signs of improvement and he has been focused on getting the game together and peaking for this event. He has odds of 25-1 and while the betting volume on him has been slow, there has been a noticeable pick up over the weekend as we get closer to teeing off.
