2009 WGC-CA Championship Betting Odds

This week many of the top golfers in the world will be headed to Doral, Florida, for the annual WGC-CA Championship. This is a great tune up for the Masters, as the competition is about as good as it gets, and Tiger Woods will be in action for the 2nd time this season, as he looks to win this tournament for the 7th time since 1999. Woods was unable to win in 2008, as Geoff Ogilvy took home the trophy, and he will be there defending his championship this weekend. With so many big names and great players, I figured it would be a good idea to break down the field into the favorites, guys in the middle of the pack and the long shots I feel have a good shot at winning this weekend. 

Favorites: Tiger Woods: +300, Geoff Ogilvy +1200, Phil Mickelson +1500, and Sergio Garcia +2000

It will be interesting to see how Woods does in his 2nd showing this season, and this time it being the more traditional 4 rounds of golf instead of the match play he played a couple weeks ago. Woods has absolutely dominated this course making it look easy, and last year finished 5th in one of his worst showings at this event. Woods should get plenty of competition from the other 3 guys in this group, as Ogilvy has really came into his own over the last year, and you never know when Phil or Sergio are going to bring their game and strike with a great weekend of golf. No matter what all eyes will be geared on Tiger, as this gives us a much better picture of what to expect at the Masters in April. 

Middle of the Pack: Anthony Kim +2500, Rory McIlroy +2500, Zach Johnson +2500, Ernie Els +3000, Henrik Stenson +3000, Paul Casey +3000, Jim Furyk +3000, Padraig Harrington +3500, Vijay Singh +3500, Camilo Villegas +3500, and Adam Scott +3500

If you thought the first group was stacked then think again, as this tournament will easily have a feel like a major, as you have the biggest names from both the PGA Tour and the European Tour taking aim at one of the bigger events on schedule. Els won this event back in 2004, but has just one since that tournament, and we don’t expect him to do much damage this weekend. If you are looking for someone to come out and win this thing out of this group, my money is on Padraig Harrington , Zach Johnson, and Adam Scott. 

Long Shots: Robert Karlsson +4000, Lee Westwood +4500, Steve Stricker +4500, Robert Allenby +4500, KJ Choi +4500, Retief Goosen +5000, Luke Donald +5000, and Mike Weir +6000

Don’t be surprised if someone with these kinds of odds makes their way right into the thick of things come Sunday, as Goosen, Stricker, and Choi finished in the top 12 at this event a year ago, and Mike Weir won this event back in 2000. If I had to pick a couple guys out of this group to do some work this weekend it would be Luke Donald and Robert Allenby.
