Like it often has before, the Ryder Cup seems to dominate proceedings during the Johnnie Walker Championships at Gleneagles, due obviously to the tournament being the last chance for players to gain a place on to the European Ryder Cup team. Which is also why Bookmakers tend to shorten the odds of winning the Johnnie Walker of players with genuine Ryder Cup team hopes, either by automatic selection or captain’s pick. Favourite in fact for this week’s event is Ross Fisher, already pretty much guaranteed his place on the Ryder Cup team, he has odds of 16/1 with Bet365 and is a couple of points clear of Francesco Molinari, Robert Karlsson and Peter Hanson, all on 18/1.
Miguel Angel Jimenez who is looking to make sure of his Ryder Cup place decided to enter the event late and has been introduced into the market at 20/1, alongside Eduardo Molinari. Jimenez, who lost a position last week after Peter Hanson, won the Czech Open, is fully aware that a poor finish from him and a win in the event from Simon Dyson or a second place by Ross McGowan for instance, would lose him the final automatic Ryder Cup place he currently holds. Even if he was to lose his place however, at least he would have been seen trying to make the team, which would do him no harm as far as 'captain’s picks' were concerned.
Johnnie Walker Golf Championship Odds Comparison
Dyson and McGowan both know that it is ‘now or never’ and it would surprise no-one to see one , if not both of them in contention this week. They have everything to play for and nothing to lose so to speak, which in our book makes them good betting propositions. Dyson is 25/1 while McGowan is as long as 70/1 with Bet365.com which makes them both outstanding each way prospects.
Another player who could burst into the Ryder Cup team this week is Alvaro Quiros, the big hitting Spaniard, to do so however, he will need to do what he did at the Spanish Open in May and win the event: Quiros can be backed at 25/1.
