The Open Championship 2009 Betting

The 138th Open Championship returns to Scotland in July (16th to 19th) and Sky Bet will once again be providing unrivalled Open Championship betting markets to tempt punters.

After the tense finish to last year’s tournament at Royal Birkdale when Padraig Harrington held off the challenge of the ‘Great White Shark’ Greg Norman and Ian Poulter to retain his title, the Irishman heads north to Turnberry as one of the favourites in the Open Championship odds to make history and win his third consecutive Open Championship title.

But the three-time major champion, a 33/1 shot in the Open Championship betting, must overhaul Tiger Woods if he is to become the first man since Peter Thompson in 1956 to win his third Claret Jug on the bounce.

Woods, currently with Open Championship odds of 2/1, missed last year’s trip to Lancashire west coast after knee surgery, but the world No1 travels to the Ailsa course determined in his own bid for a fourth Open Championship.

Other contenders bidding to deny Harrington and Woods include talented Spaniard Sergio Garcia, a 18/1 shot in the golf betting, and Irish wonder kid Rory McIlroy, 20/1. Past winner Ernie Els is 33/1 in the Open Championship betting, while Masters champion Angel Cabrera is 70/1. Those looking for a hot tip might find value in the American Jim Furyk at 40/1. Furyk is always a hugely consistent performer at the majors, and with a 4th and a 5th placed finish at the Open in the last 3 years, he certainly has the pedigree to perform at the oldest of the four majors.

All in all, another exciting Open Championship is almost guaranteed and Sky Bet will provide the best golf betting experience in the marketplace.
