Current Odds to Win the British Open - 2009
Tiger Woods Betting Options
As they get ready to tee it up at Turnberry for the 2009 British Open, all eyes will be on Tiger Woods. Nothing new of course. All eyes are on Tiger Woods in every tournament he plays in. After all, he is the best golfer in the world. But if you're planning on betting on Tiger Woods in the 2009 British Open we suggest you reconsider as the current odds on Tiger to win present very little value.
Tigers average current odds to win the Open are +225. Which means you wager $100 to win $225. A those odds, you simply have to pass. You can do much better by simply betting on Tiger in the head to head matchups. For example, some sportsbooks offer three way betting. They match 3 golfers for a particular round, or for the entire British Open and post odds for each. One sportsbook has the following 3 way odds. Tiger Woods -175, Lee Westwood +225 and Ryo Ishikawa +665. In this scenario, all Tiger has to do is beat Westwood and Ishikawa in the first round and you win your bet. It will cost you more than betting Tiger to win the Open, but instead of having to beat the entire field for the entire event, he just has to beat those two in the first round.
Speaking of the entire field, most sportsbooks also offer a Tiger Woods vs. the Field wager. The average current odds we have seen for this prop are the Field at +400. Which means you can wager $100 to win $400 and you get every player participating in the British Open against Tiger Woods. As long as Tiger doesn't win, you win your wager. Again, a little more value in this instance, backing every player as opposed to just backing one.
No guarantee Tiger will win as it is. He's never played this course before. Last time we checked, Tiger doesn't win EVERY tournament. Padraig Harrington won the last two Opens (no Tiger last year) and he has current odds of 25/1!!! Greg Norman not only won the Open in the past, but he won it at Turnberry on this very course and has current odds to win of 100/1. Now that would be a nice score eh? And a nice story as well. Ok, he won it here 23 years ago. But still, dare to dream.
The point we are trying to drive home is that there are far better betting opportunities for the British Open than betting on the favorite, Tiger Woods, to win it all. Aside from the bet offers we have already discussed, there are head to head matchups, there are odds posted on each players chance of making the top 10 (Tiger is a 5/1 favorite to make the top 10). There are odds posted on the top Englishman, the top American or the top European. There are also odds posted on whether or not each player will make the cut.
