European Tour Betting – McIlroy Leads the European Challenge
Punters wishing to stay away from American-born players should get a handle on Rory McIlroy coming off a ninth-place showing at Firestone last week. Priced 17.08*, the World No. 9 is third on the USPGA Championship odds at Bet365 Sportsbook behind Mickelson and Tiger Woods who for the first time in a decade isnt favourite for a major championship. Woods shot a career worst 18 over par last week at the WGC Bridgestone Invitational, where he looked a shadow of the player that has won this event four times.
Padraig Harrington (21.12*) is seeing action from bettors this week, but he’s probably overvalued. The Irishman is the only European player to have won the PGA Championship, but he’s also winless this season. Harrington was tied 9th at the recent WGC event, but the last time he took any silverware was in 2008 when he won this event.
Other European players to consider this week include Paul Casey (40.29), Luke Donald (49.73*), Justin Rose (44.32*), and Ian Poulter (79.86) who are looking for a breakthrough win at a major. Graeme McDowells surprise success at the US Open will provide a huge inspiration, and with that experience under his belt, McDowell is a 57.90* shot. Sergio Garcia is an interesting option at 82.19*. This is his last tournament before a self-imposed break with the game, effectively due to burn-out, whether that will see him relax his shoulders and provide value, or is a reason to swerve the Spaniard is something for bettors to consider.
