Tiger Woods has been installed as the $11 favourite with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au for this week’s PGA Championship at Kiawah Island, with Aussie Adam Scott on the sixth line of betting at $31.
Luke Donald ($19), Rory McIlroy ($21), Lee Westwood ($26) and Dustin Johnson ($26) round out the top five in betting, while Jason Day ($67), Geoff Ogilvy ($81), Aaron Baddeley and John Senden (both $126) are the next best placed Australians.
“Punters seem to think the British Open result will have very little impact on Scott’s performance, with Tiger Woods the only player to have attracted more bets to win than the Aussie,” sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes said.
In top Australian betting, Scott is the $2.75 favourite, ahead of Day ($5.00), Ogilvy ($6.50), Senden ($7.50), Baddeley ($8.00) and Marc Leishman ($13).
