Tiger Woods Favored in Frys.com Golf Betting Odds

  Tiger Woods is getting a lot of respect in Frys.com golf betting odds as he is the 6.5-1 favorite at Diamond sportsbook. Tiger has not won a tournament in more than two years but the oddsmakers are expecting the public love affair with Woods will continue this week. With Woods totally overvalued there are some solid longshots to take a look at this week.

  Tiger Woods 6.5-1

  Perhaps Tiger can regain some of his lost form and win this week but he is totally overpriced at betting odds of 6.5-1. Perhaps if he was 65-1 he might be worth a look but even then he would be a longshot. This will be the first time that Tiger has ever played in a Fall Series event. It is also the first time he has played since missing the cut at the PGA. Sean Foley who is Woods’ coach has said that Tiger is very motivated to prove to everyone that his career is not over. It has been reported that Tiger recently shot a course-record 62 at Medalist which is the course he has been practicing at near his home. Maybe Tiger gets it all together and wins this week but until he does he remains overvalued, even against this weak field.

  Kevin Na 25-1

  He won last week on the Fall Series as he outlasted Nick Watney. He has some value at these Frys.com golf betting odds but there is definitely a concern about letdown after last week’s win.

  Louis Oosthuizen 25-1

  He must think he has a chance to win this tournament or he wouldn’t have made the long trip from Scotland where he finished tied for fifth last week.

  Spencer Levin 25-1

  Have you heard that saying “horse for the course?” It definitely applies to Levin this week as he is from Sacramento. He tied for fifth last week and has five top 10 finishes this year.

  Longshot

  For a longshot how about Brandt Jobe? He was ninth at the BMW Championship. He is second on the PGA Tour in total driving and he ranks 17th in greens in regulation.
