2008 Wachovia Championship
Predictions & Odds
The odds are up and ready for action as the PGA Tour heads to the plush
Quail Hollow Country Club in Charlotte, North Carolina for the 2008
Wachovia Championship, which is traditionally the last tune up before
The Players Championship at Sawgrass. Last week's winner at the
Byron Nelson Championship,
Adam Scott, is among the favorites this week and should have a good chance
to win with defending champion Tiger Woods rehabbing his knee. Below, Jimmy
lists the three golfers with the best shot at winning this week's tournament
and explains why they are worth your money. Get Jimmy's take on the 2008
Wachovia Championship odds in this exclusive preview.
Bet Phil Mickelson at 10-1
odds at BodogLife.com
Lefty is the favorite for a reason and at 10-1 odds he still gives us pretty
good bang for our buck. Mickelson always performs well at the Wachovia. He
finished tied for third last season, just four shots off Tiger's pace. With
Tiger not around, Phil is definitely the man to beat. He is second on this
year's money list and second in the FedExCup standings. Mickelson went
through a three-tournament stretch where he finished 20th of worse preceding
the Masters. He regrouped at the Masters with a fifth place finish and after
sitting out the last two tournaments, I expect Lefty to be fresh and ready
to go after a big win. If Lefty's putter doesn't act up, he's the closest
thing to a shoe-in this week.
Bet Stewart Cink at 25-1
odds at BodogLife.com
Cink's game has been in-Cink all season long and I have no reason to believe
it won't continue this week at Quail Hollow. Cink has four top three
finishes and five top ten finishes through just nine tournaments this
season. With two seconds and two thirds in 2008, Cink just might be due for
his first win of the year. Because holes 16, 17, and 18 are thought to be
three of the toughest finishing holes in all of the tour stops, it's no
surprise that the last three to win this event have been Tiger Woods, Jim
Furyk, and Vijay Singh. In other words, top golfers hold a big edge in this
tournament because those that have been catching a stroke of luck often hit
reality with these three holes. Also, Singh is the only non U.S. winner of
this event in its five year history, so we expect the American Stewart Cink
to have a great opportunity to win this week.
Bet Boo Weekley at 40-1
odds at Bodoglife.com
Weekley is the big bet for value hunters this week as a 40-1 payout can
produce a nice reward with little risk. Weekley has also had a great 2008
with four top ten finishes and a win in the Verizon Heritage – the last
tournament he's played. Taking off the Byron Nelson will have Weekley
refreshed and he will also still carry over the momentum and confidence of
having won his last tournament played. Weekley has gotten off to good starts
each of the past two seasons and with the year still young, I like him to
continue his great play at Quail Hollow this week.
