British Open Golf Betting Tips

It would be the easiet thing in the world to tell you that Tiger Woods is the most likely winner of this years British Open and that he would be our British Open golf tip, on the Turnberry links. Tiger has already been installed as 3/1 favourite in the antepost Open Championship betting for the tournament and we all know that if he is in top form then there is simply no one in the world who could get near to him. That said we will proffer three names, most of them obvious, of players that could really run him close or indeed beat him on this most difficult of links course's

The first of these three is reigning Champion, Padraig Harrington. having won the Open for the last two seasons, Padraig will come to the Open this year brimming with confidence and with the knowledge that he is every bit as good as Woods on links courses. His 4 stroke victory at Royal Birkdale last year confirmed this, he was the only golfer who consistently got the better of the course and conditions and looked supreme when winning. We doubt that even Woods would have beaten him last year. The Open Golf Odds has the Irishman at 14/1 second favourite along with Sergio Garcia. These antepost odds are excellent, even if they are taken at each way they represent great value for a proven player who is renowned for his meticulous preparation. These odds are ideal if one is to take advantage of the Free bet offers available.

Our second tip is for Spaniard, Sergio Garcia, who is becoming the nearly man of world golf. So close in 2007 when losing in a play off to Harrington at Carnoustie, Garcia will come to Turnberry in expectant mood and with his usual determination. His price of 14/1 is well worth an each way flutter.

Finally an each way tip with an online bookmaker would be on the Englishman, Ian Poulter, who it seems is driven by his past mistakes and is determined to prove his critics wrong. He came very close last year when runner up to Harrington, but that performance proved to Poulter that he has the game to succeed and this course is the ideal venue for him to prove it. At 40/1 he has got to be as good an each way bet as there is
