Bet PGA Odds
Tiger Woods 7/4
Tiger Woods doesn’t have the greatest betting odds, but a win this week will still pay out nearly two-to-one. Woods has finished runner-up in this event on two occasions and has won or finished second in six of the last seven events he has played in. The last non-major European Tour event Woods played in was the 2008
Padraig Harrington 15/1
Harrington has had success in this event with back-to-back years finishing 11th or better. Harrington has also been playing consistently well to end 2009 after starting poorly with a new swing. Harrington has made his last 10 cuts and has seven top-10’s in that stretch. In 2008, Harrington finished his year with five European or Asian events and finished no worse than 13th in any one of them. Harrington should have a chance to win on Sunday, which is why he comes in with short odds.
Sergio Garcia 25/1
Garcia is the defending champion of this event, winning in 2008 by defeating Oliver Wilson in a playoff after shooting a 14-under 274 for the tournament. Garcia has 10 top-10 finishes in non-U.S. tour events over the last two years, which covers 16 different tournaments. Garcia has shined overseas and has success at Sheshan International, which makes him a strong play this week.
