Golf Betting 2010
Whilst most of us online golf betting fans are busying ourselves making new year predictions with regard the golf betting 2010 markets - never mind fine-tuning our personal new year resolutions - the net's leading Golf Betting bookmakers are attempting to determine just how the world's golf betting 2010 landscape will pan out from this point onwards. There's still much for the avid golf betting fan to grow excited by during the potentially Tiger-less 12 months that lie ahead, despite the absence of the planet's greatest golfer who's gone into self-imposed exile until the public furore over his private life has blown over.
Indeed. A year without Tiger Woods possibly? Who'd have even thought let alone believed such a crazy notion a mere couple of months back prior to the damning revelations surrounding his off course activity broke to a genuinely shocked global audience? Still, the draconian void left by Woods for the time being will go some to being filled by the likes of his closest allies of the past few years like Phil Mickelson, Padraig Harrington, Geoff Ogilvy, Jim Furyk and Henrik Stenson, while the new crop of golfers such as Rory McIlroy, Simon Dyson, Martin Kaymer and Eduardo Molinari will be more than knocking on Tiger's door as the new 2010 golf terrain shapes up.
2010 Looks To Provide As Much Excitement As 2009 Golf Betting Markets In A Potentially Tiger Woods-Less 12 Months
Whether you're looking to place a wager on the outcome of the four golfing majors of 2010 – The US Masters, US Open, Open Championship or USPGA Championship – or the Race To Dubai, Tour Money Lists, World Rankings or the Ryder Cup, the online golf betting bookies offer punters a vast choice of odds, prices, specials and comprehensive markets on all the big events and tournaments that are set to take place in a golf context this year. Focussing for example on Ryder Cup 2010 betting, and SkyBet are amongst the many leading virtual bookmakers to open a massive internet sports book on the eventualities of the Anglo-American golfing thriller that's played out every couple of years; from Great Britain and Europe winning on home soil to just which current tour players will make captain, Colin Montgomery's squad come October.
SkyBet are also very active in helping you determine which – if any that is – of those British players at the vanguard of the sport are best placed to capture a major golf tournament in 2010; with leading contenders in the Outright Win markets Rory McIlroy, Lee Westwood, Ross Fisher and Paul Casey amongst others. They've also created a new market based around naming golfers most likely to make the cut in all four majors, prices for the lowest winning score and – in light of Tom Watson's travails at Turnberry in 2009 – whether or not a senior player will win a major during this forthcoming 12 months of golf.
Other welcome golf betting 2010 questions include the following; Will Rory McIlroy go one better than last year? Will Seve Ballesteros make an emotional appearance at the Open Championship after recovering from a brain tumour? Will Lee Westwood break his major golf tournament duck in 2010? Will John Daly's colourful trousers become even more preposterous? Will Great Britain and Europe beat the Americans in the 2010 Ryder Cup at the stunning Celtic Manor golf resort? Literally, from the sublime to the cor blimey, there's online golf betting 2010 markets for every punter's tastes this year if you take the time to check out some of the golf betting bookies flagged-up on this page.
Online Golf Betting 2010 Without Tiger Woods Makes For An Interesting Punter Proposition According To Web Bookies
Returning to a subject that just won't go away, and sensible golf betting 2010 money appears to be on Tiger Woods making his not-so-long awaited comeback at Augusta as early as April for the US Masters. The undoubted scene of his finest hour back in 1997 when he announced his intent and show-boxed his unearthly golfing skills to the largest stage. Totesport have created a dedicated golf betting 2010 web page entitled 'Tiger's Next Tournament'; which as you might expect from the title is pretty much dedicated to ascertaining when Woods will next show his face on the golf course after his recent announcement that he'll be taking a sabbatical from golf for an 'indeterminate' period of time.
Totesport are amongst those golf betting 2010 bookies who subscribe to the theory that Tiger will return at The Masters; going as far as to offer 5/2 odds of this happening. Thereafter, the Arnold Palmer Invitational and the WGC CA Championship seems the next most likely, with the disgraced idol's chances of putting in an appearance at the Open Championship or USPGA first of all this year a lot further back in terms of odds. Victor Chandler obviously know something that the rest of us golf betting 2010 fans don't, as they're not concentrating on if and when Woods is making a comeback, but instead trying to figure out just how many majors he'll bag this year. However on closer scrutiny, the shortest odds in this market are riding on None, with One (11/8), Two (3/1), Three (12/1) and the ambitious Grand Slam a highly unlikely 25/1 shot with VC's internet golf betting division.
Golf Betting In 2009 Was A Constant Source Of Online Sports Betting Excitement For Bookmakers
2009 was without question a tumultuous year by world golfing standards, as Tom Watson rolled back the years at Royal Turnberry to so very nearly notch up yet another Open golf championship at the grand not-so old age of 59; eventually pipped at the post by young whipper-snapper, Stewart Cink to deny the old timer another remarkable page in the golfing history books. And what about the exciting battle for European Tour honours between forgotten man – Lee Westwood – and fellow Brit, Paul Casey, that went down to the wire at the Dubai World Championships, where the former's final round 64 sealed the deal in scenes reminiscent of a certain Nick Faldo doing the biz in his all-conquering European golf heyday.
That's whilst Rory McIlroy and Ross Fisher continued to impress the golf watching hordes throughout the year, rising amateur star – 16-year old Matteo Manassero – will also be another golfer to watch closely as 2010 unfolds. Finishing up as leading amateur at the Open Championship last July, the young Italian completed his tournament in just four shots more than eventual winner, Stewart Cink, to cap an amazing 12 months. And how can forget the ungentlemanly spat between two of the British game's former leading lights? Sandy Lyle and Colin Montgomery locked horns as Lyle accused Monty of blatant cheating and being something of a drama queen after Montgomery hinted that Lyle was probably overlooked for the Ryder Cup captaincy in response to his infamous and controversial Open 2008 walk-out.
And then there was Tiger Woods' clearly at odds new approach to player/spectator relations during the course of the year, that lurched from one PR disaster to another long before the proverbial manure hit the fan regarding his personal life at the tail end. Ignoring his fans, wandering off the green as his playing partners still had putts to sink and his general demeanour and attitude at the final two majors of the year left little to be desired from a modern day sporting icon who was only weeks away from a massive fall from grace that no one saw coming.
