PGA Betting – Canadian Open Odds and Pick
Before the UFC 101 odds attract the high-adrenaline bettors in the coming weeks, let’s enjoy the mellow summer with what should be a mellow tournament with a mellow field in mellow
Retief Goosen
Golf odds: +1600
He’s the ultimate safe bettor’s play, as the icy-calm Goosen has one missed cut all season. He scores low, which is important at the relatively short Glen Abbey Golf Club, and he tied for fifth at last week’s British Open, so he should be at the top of his game this week..
Mike Weir
Golf odds: +1600
The odds makers must be sentimental, because they’re crazy to give Mike Weir the same odds to win as the favorite Goosen. Some bettors think he’ll win because he’s Canadian and wants this tourney more than anyone else, and they’re half right. Weir wants it bad, but that seems to hurt him instead of help him. He choked horribly when he had the 2004 Canadian Open sewn up. He’s been very inconsistent this season too, so he’s not a great sports pick.
Anthony Kim
Golf odds: +1800
Whatever Kim does, he’ll make the event worth the price per head this week. He’s second on Tour in birdies and has the ability to go really low when his ball striking is on. In a somewhat forgotten tournament like this one, he shouldn’t feel too much pressure. He’ll contend all week.
Luke Donald
Golf odds: +2000
Arguably, Donald’s a safer play than Weir or Kim, which is great news for bettors since Donald offers more value. He leads the Tour in putting and has five top-10s in just 14 starts this season. He’s playing well right now and also has the accurate, precise ball striking needed to go low at the Abbey. He’s an excellent play this week.
Pick: Luke Donald +2000
