Rory McIlroy looks too short in 2011 British Open betting
Published on 13/07/2011 08:30
Rory McIlroy's victory in last month's US Open was absolutely breathtaking and make no mistake they'll be plenty more majors to come, but his current odds of around 9.00 to land the 2011 British Open represents poor value in my opinion and below I'll attempt to explain why.
Looking at the last ten winners of the British Open, their age when winning the tournament ranged from 26 to 38 years old. As most of you will know links golf is completely different to the…

Petra Kvitova was advised at 10/1 from the outset with our expert saying that "the 21 year-old represented…
Can Rory McIlroy put Masters disaster behind him?
Published on 17/06/2011 21:38
Rory McIlroy shot a second round 66 to go with his opening round of 65 and in doing so managed to open up a huge lead over his rivals when play was suspended due to bad weather at around 9 o'clock on Friday evening.
The 22-year-old from Northern Ireland looked like he was playing a totally different course to the rest of the field and if it wasn't for a double-bogey at his final hole the gap would have been even bigger.
When play was stopped because of heavy rain…
Hunter Mahan odds look generous in our U.S. Open Golf betting
Published on 08/06/2011 10:30
The Congressional Country Club in Maryland is the setting for the 2011 U.S. Open Golf Championship and I expect Hunter Mahan to finally land his first major title, at the age of 29, on a course that looks tailor-made for his game.
The U.S. Open is usually won with a score of around level par or worse and favours a golfer that can plot his way around a golf course, which is definitely a trait you would level at Hunter Mahan.
Despite a rare missed cut in this event last year…
Rory McIlroy odds-on to land 2011 US Masters title
Published on 10/04/2011 11:32
A steady if unspectacular round of 70 by Rory McIlroy was enough to ease him into a four shot lead as all his main rivals disappointed on a day when low scores were hard to come by.
The expected charges of Tiger Woods and Lee Westwood failed to materialise with both men shooting 74 and therefore leaving themselves a mountain to climb on Sunday evening.
Paddy Power offer the best price on a Rory McIlroy victory at 1.73 with Tiger Woods now available at 29.00 with Bet 365 and…
New favourite for 2011 Masters after typical Woods charge
Published on 09/04/2011 11:15
Tiger Woods rediscovered his old magic at Augusta National last night and after shooting a second round 66 now heads the bookmakers lists at a best priced 4.00 with Bet 365, Ladbrokes and Coral.
As previously highlighted on Valuechecker Tiger Woods has a record second to none in the Masters and has looked on good terms with himself from the moment he drove up Magnolia Lane earlier in the week.
The former world number one has now moved to within three strokes of the lead,…
Mickelson favourite in 2011 US Masters betting
Published on 04/04/2011 16:24
Phil Mickelson warmed up for the defence of his US Masters crown with an emphatic victory in the Shell Houston Open on Sunday evening and is now clear favourite with all bookmakers for the seasons first major event which starts on Thursday morning.
A closing round 65, just a day after his course-record equalling 63 on Saturday saw the forty year-old not only land his first title in almost a year, but also overtake Tiger Woods in the world rankings.
Ladbrokes quote of 8.00…
Betting for the 2011 US Masters gathers pace
Published on 28/03/2011 18:05
With less than a fortnight to go until the 2011 US Masters kicks off punters are starting to look for value in the outright market and it's the European's that seem to be attracting most of the money.
After his win in the Arnold Palmer Invitational last night it was probably no surprise to see Scotsman Martin Laird shorten up this morning with Boylesports, Stan James and Coral bookmakers now offering a top price of 67.00 for the twenty-eight year old to land a quick…
Tiger Woods remains favourite in US Masters betting
Published on 23/03/2011 10:36
Tiger Woods is clinging on to favouritism for the 2011 US Masters despite not winning on tour since 2009. His personal problems have been well documented over the last year or so, but when it comes to this tournament punters seem to retain the belief that arguably the greatest golfer ever seen will prevail and walk away wearing his fifth green jacket.
Currently trading at 8.00 with Stan James, Ladbrokes and Coral bookmakers his recent record at Augusta certainly bares the…
2010 US Masters Odds - See Our Each Way Value Bets
Published on 02/04/2010 09:55
The US Masters gets under way on Thursday 8th April and all eyes will be on Tiger Woods as he makes his return to competitive golf after almost five months absence. Quite how he’ll perform is anybody’s guess, but it’s my opinion that he’ll struggle badly and before I touch on my outright selections I must point you in the direction of a bet well worth a second look.
Tiger is used to being hounded by the worlds media, but that is usually in a positive…
