The field for The PLAYERS Championship tournament has been finalized, and PGA betting fans
might be a little surprised to see Tiger Woods there. Woods has been battling injuries and withdrew from the Wells Fargo Championship last week. After a resurgent effort at the Masters—Woods finished fourth—observers are wondering if he’s back to form. Woods has cracked the Top 10 in two of his five tourneys this season, but finished 24th or worse in the other three. World No. 1 golfer Lee Westwood will make an appearance at
The PLAYERS this week. The Englishman has yet to bust through on the PGA Tour
this season, as he hasn’t even made the Top 10 once in five outings. Westwood’s
best effort was an 11th-place finish at the Masters. Martin Kaymer is another European player ranked high in the
golf rankings, but failing to deliver results. Since a second-place finish at
the Match Play Championship in February, the German has finished 20th
or worse in four straight PGA tournaments. Kaymer placed 62nd at the
Wells Fargo Championship last week. Luke Donald, on the other hand, is taking care of business.
The Englishman has cracked the Top 10 in six consecutive PGA tournaments. He won
the Match Play Championship and finished fourth at the Masters. Donald had a
fine April, finishing fourth, second, and eighth, so he has a bit of momentum
heading into The PLAYERS Championship tournament.
Phil Mickelson probably has the best shot out of the
Americans. Lefty has four Top-10s in 10 outings this season, including a
ninth-place effort at the Wells Fargo Championship last week. Mickelson is
looking for his second win of the year; he won the Shell Houston Open at the
beginning of April. Get all your PGA odds at
