The last major of the season begins tonight at 18:00 (UK time) and lasts until August 10th and features the best in golf at Valhalla.
According to bet365, the UK sportsbook, Rory McIlroy is the outright favorite to take top honors at Valhalla and they are not alone. The 25-year-old North Irish golfer is the hottest player on the tour right now after winning both the British Open and the WGC Bridgestone Invitational. He is ranked #1 in the world and for good reason. McIlroy is seemingly unstoppable when on his game capable of feats reminiscent of a younger Tiger Woods.
Speaking of Woods, he is questionable for play in the Championship due to a prolonged back injury, which has kept him off the course much of the year. Tiger is always considered a threat, but he has played lack-luster Golf of late and critics agree that his prime is long past.
The top names on the PGA are all at Valhalla and things are still wide open as it could be anyone shooting lowest for the win on opening day.
Who is the best bet?
Golf is a game full of surprises. Anyone on the tour could win on any given day making it a terrific option for online punters to make lucrative cash. The reason being is that outright winner markets feature attractive odds no matter whom they are, making way for big bets and even bigger payouts.
bet365 Sports have posted their player markets for outright winner and aside from McIlroy, the lines are close.
