World Golf Championship Betting

The World Golf Championship have been a smart introduction to the Golfing calendar as it entices the top players to take part in the four different events that make up these novel new championships. The four events are:

• Accenture Match Play Championship – 23rd-27th Feb 2011
• CA Championship – 10th-13th March 2011
• Bridgestone Invitational – 4th-7th August 2011
• HSBC Champions – 3rd-6th November 2011

The World Championships kicks off with the Accenture Match Play Championship, a five-day event in a match play format. With the ever increasing popularity of the Ryder Cup, match play has become a big hit with golf fans.

The Accenture Match Play is followed by the standard stroke play competition by the newly named Cadillac Championship, won in 2010 by South African Ernie Els. The 2011 tournament is again hosted by the TPC Blue Monster golf Course in Florida, between 10th and 13th March.

The third World Championship event is the Bridgestone Invitational which was held at the Firestone Country Club in Ohio between 3-8 August, 2010. Tiger Woods has won seven times at the course but was well off the pace last year. The event was won by American Hunter Mahan by two strokes.

The fourth and final leg of the World Championship is the HSBC Champions, won by Phil Mickelson in 2009 and which was held at the Shesan International Golf Club in Shanghai between 5-8 November, 2010. The tournament was won by Francesco Molinari who showed nerves of steel to hold off the challenge of Lee Westwood and claim the trophy by one shot.

These four World Championship events have been great tournaments for Golf Betting due to the unique nature of each tournament. Bookmakers offer a wide variety of markets on each one, particularly the Matchplay, where individual match betting has become extremely popular. The fact that at least one of the tournaments is staged outside of the USA it gives golf fans from elsewhere in the world to take a look at the great champions who will be participating

All four tournaments have excellent opportunities for punters to back in the perpetual In Running Betting market. This market is kept running from the moment the first ball is struck until the final putt is sunk.
