USPGA Championship Betting Guide 2012

PGA Championship Tiger Woods

The final Major Championship of the season goes into the final round with many players in contention after 54 holes. The current leaders are Brendan Steel and Jason Dufner who are tied at 7 under. There are as many as 19 players under par and any of these could take the final Major of the season.

The USPGA Championship and the event in Atlanta could be a classic tournament. It will be interesting to see how he gets on at the Atlanta Athletic Club in Johns Creek. The 2012 USPGA Odds going into the final round put up by the online bookmakers have the leaders in at aound five to one the field as there is plenty of competition with a number of players in conention.

One player who looks to be bang in form approaching the final Major of the season is Adam Scott who is coming off of a big win in the WGC at Bridgestone over the weekend. The Aussie played some brilliant golf to claim the title and he is the talk of the game with Steve Williams on the bag having recently parted ways with Tiger Woods.

US PGA Championship Odds 2012

PGA Championship Padraig Harrington

It is clear that the four biggest betting markets for golf each year are the Major Championships and the USPGA Championships falls into that category. The USPGA Championship Golf Odds are some of the most popular of the year with all the big names heading to Atlanta for a shot at winning a Major Championship. All eyes this season have been on young Rory McIlroy who was sensational when winning the US Open earlier in the season and he will be the favourite too repeat that success at the USPGA.

We will not be able to count out a strong home contingent in a tournament like the USPGA and as usual we are seeing money for the likes of Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods. Woods of course has been slipping down the rankings of late and if fit he will be hoping to finally get back to winning ways at the Atlanta Country Club.

USPGA Championship Tee Times

Punters are always excoted to learn the USPGA Championship Tee Times each year with a number of stellar groups always given plenty of attention over the first couple of rounds. The groupings will be announced during the week of the tournament and the tradition is that the three Majors winners of the season will play together over the first two rounds. It will be an exciting group with massive galleries following this excellent three ball.

The tee times and groupings can have a big affect on the players with some thriving under the pressure of playing alongside big names, while others will want to go about their business under the radar as they ease themselves into a Major Championship like the USPGA.

Visitor Information

The PGA Championship is a huge sporting event and it is strongly advisable that those intending to attend should familiarise themselves with PGA Championship Visitor Guide and PGA Championship Tickets, before finalising their plans.

Past USPGA Champions

Check out the PGA Championship results and glance over the names of past Champions from this great event, find out how dominant American players have been over the years and ask yourself if you would ever back against them winning again. Having said that it is worth noting that the past three tournaments have been won by non Americans as we have seen a shift in the world of golf. We saw Padraig Harrington claim the win in 2009, he was followed by the excellent YE Yang in 2009 before the German Martin Kaymer lifted the trophy last season at Whistling Straits.
