As the last major of the golf season kicks off on Thursday, August 12th, Tiger Woods is the fave in PGA Championship betting.



Bettors and oddsmakers still give him the most esteem in PGA Championship odds, despite the fact that Tiger has not played well for the most part this season. Woods will need to recover from a pretty bad year thus far, which was almost certainly at least partially as a result of personal difficulties in his life that have followed him for the past several months.

And truly, it doesn’t necessarily mean he’s going to be the certain champion only because Woods is being favored by PGA Championship odds. It means that the typical golf fan is planning to put their faith in Woods and his career background. It’s not entirely undeserved, but he may still be pretty overvalued at the sports books for this particular competition. There’s a lot of stress on him to perform, specifically since he hasn’t won any of the majors this year.

PGA Championship gambling lists Woods as the fave with Phil Mickelson the 2nd choice. When Woods and Mickelson are both in the lineup, that is exactly the way that most tourneys are. This year neither of the 2 has played very well. Mickelson will almost certainly have low odds for similar reasons to Tiger, yet that is by no means a guarantee of winning.

Television coverage of the PGA Championship kicks off on Thursday, August 12th on TNT with first round coverage. On Saturday, the network is also covering the 2nd round and early third round coverage. CBS picks up third round coverage on Saturday and they’ll do the majority of the final round coverage although TNT will get a minor window on Sunday morning.

A year ago it was Y.E. Yang winning in PGA Championship gambling as a substantial longshot. Since his odds are quite high again this year, he is not getting much esteem as the defending champ. Padraig Harrington won the event 2 years ago at the PGA, and Harrington is one of the contenders this year. Since 2007, Tiger has not won the PGA. He furthermore took the title in 2000 and in 2006. Mickelson’s last win at the PGA was in 2005.

The real fave ought to almost certainly be Lee Westwood, despite the fact that Woods is the leading choice in PGA Championship odds and Mickelson is the 2nd choice. He is in contention it seems in every major and he seems overdue to win one. Westwood is an terrific competitor in the wind, and the wind might be a factor at Whistling Straits. Rory McIlroy is alongside with Westwood on the odds board right after Woods and Mickelson. McIlroy is also familiar with playing in the wind and he has played quite well in the majors this year.

Wisconsin native Steve Stricker and Ernie Els are also supposed to be in contention in the PGA. Both of these golfers are capable of having a fantastic week, along with Paul Casey who has been a factor in majors this year. He drives the ball effectively and that ought to aid him at Whistling Straits in Wisconsin where this season’s PGA is being presented.
