2010 US Open Championship Betting

Now that the FIFA World Cup has concluded, online bookmakers shift to the most wagered on golf event of the year.  2010 Open Championship betting gets underway with odds released from Bookmaker.com.

Tiger Woods once again finds himself in somewhat unfamiliar territory, if not for the fact that he's seen this before recently.  Woods is a long favorite of +550 (with a payout potential of US$55 for every US$10 bet at Bookmaker.com). 

"Prior to last November's accident and subsequent sex scandal, one could not get Tiger Woods odds of winning a Majors tournament at longer than 3/1 odds," explains Don Shapiro of Gambling911.com.

Still, he stands alone in single odds territory with the exception of the ‘field' category that pays slightly better than even odds and incorporates any golfer not specifically named by Bookmaker.com.  Rory McIlroy pays the next longest odds at +1100 or US$110 for every US$10 bet.  All other golfers, including Phil Mickelson at +1600, would pay even greater odds.  The 21-year-old McIllroy seems to be getting more attention than Woods following his impressive success on the PGA Tour.  He also comes to us via Ireland, a country that produced Padraigh Harrington (two year consecutive Open Championship winner who currently had odds of +2000).

The Open Championship (also referred to as the British Open) is one of the most wagered on events in the UK.
