PGA Championship Odds – Tiger Specials

tiger-woods-sad-2The PGA Championship begins tomorrow and like every tournament that involves Tiger Woods, the story of the weekend will be all about Tiger Woods.

Last weekend Tiger Woods had his worst professional round, he finished 18 shots over par in a tournament that he once dominated. This weekend US Ryder Cup captain Cory Pavin let it be known that Tiger Woods isn’t guaranteed a spot on the American team.

Bet on the PGA Championship

If you are a golf bettor or a sportsbook that takes bets on golf, what’s going on in golf is something we haven’t had to worry about in over a decade. Tiger Woods isn’t a favorite, actually he’s not even predicted to finish in the top ten at the PGA Championship this weekend.

Our good friends at BetUS.com have sent over their Tiger Woods specials for the PGA Championship and there is some money to be made, no matter how Tiger finishes this weekend.

The story here is that you will have to risk $250 to win $100 if you think Tiger will finish out of the top ten. This would be unheard of pre-divorce drama.

Despite the drama and the poor showing, Tiger Woods is still has the second lowest odds to win the tournament. It is a testament to how much his fans still support him at the betting window.
