At the Bottom of this Post is the List of Odds to Win the 2010 PGA Championship
The 2010 PGA betting season will continue in the middle of August with yet another major championship. The PGA Championship will head to Whistling Straits in Kohler, WI for the first time since 2004, as a slew of golfers aim for one of golf’s most illustrious prizes.
The defending champion of this event is YE Yang (+8000 @ BetUS Sportsbook). Yang outdueled arguably the best golfer in the history of the sport to capture the crown on Sunday. He became the first South Korean ever to win a major with his victory at Hazeltine last year.
As for the man he beat, Tiger Woods (Current Odds To Win The PGA Championship 5 to 1 @ BetUS Sportsbook), he hasn’t won this tournament since 2007. However, he won the PGA Tournament in 1999, 2000, 2006, and 2007. Woods hasn’t quite looked like himself since coming back from his whole episode with a ton of mistresses, but no one is going to count him out no matter what event he is entering. Woods coughed up that lead on Sunday last year, which was an incredible shock considering his records going into the final day of a tournament, particularly a major, in his career.
Keep a close eye on Padraig Harrington (Current Odds: 33 to 1 @ BetUS Sportsbook) as well. Harrington won the PGA with Tiger on the shelf in 2008, cashing in at Oakland Hills Country Club. The Irishman won three majors from 2007 to 2008, but he hasn’t won on the PGA Tour since 2008. Still, Harrington is going to be a danger, particularly if the scores end up staying a bit closer to par than most would expect. Historically, Harrington is one of the coolest customers on the circuit, and he should be able to keep a level head if the playing conditions get worse at Kohler.
The rotating tournament location for the PGA Tournament might play right into the hands of Vijay Singh (Current Odds: 80 to 1 @ BetUS Sportsbook). He was the last man to win this tournament when it was at Whistling Straits. It was his second PGA Championship, with his first coming in 1998. Singh will be the only other man in the field aside from Woods to say that they he has won this title more than once in his career.
There are some other former champs in this field as well, but none are more notable than Phil Mickelson (Current Odds: 10 to 1 @ BetUS Sportsbook). Lefty captured the title at the PGA while playing at Baltusrol Golf Club in Springfield, New Jersey in 2005. He already has a major title to his credit this year after capturing the Green Jacket at August National in the Spring. Mickelson is the second choice on the board to win the 2010 PGA Championship, and for good reason.
Americans had won all but two of these events from 1996 through to 2007, with Singh being the only non-American to cash in. However, since that point, both Harrington (Ireland) and Yang (South Korea) have found glory.

The PGA Tour will make their stop at Hazeltine National Golf Club this Thursday for the final major golf event of the year at the PGA Championship. Located in Chaska, Minnesota, Hazeltine has hosted prior major golfing events including the 2002 PGA Championship. Rich Beem took home the title in that event in his only major victory holding off a strong charge from Tiger Woods in the final round. Hazeltine Golf Course will have a different look when the best players in the world roll back into town. The course which was already monstrous in length has been stretched out even more since 2002 and has also added plenty more bunkers making the course more challenging. The course will play at an insane 7,674 yards for this year’s PGA Championship making it the longest major in PGA history. The course’s tremendous length will include 3 different Par 5 holes over 600 yards. The course will not only be extremely long, but it also has very narrow fairways making it very difficult for competitors. Hazeltine will put every golfer to the extreme test demanding length and accuracy. To compete for the win at this year’s PGA Championship, players must be at the best in every aspect of their game.
