	Tiger Woods will make his first start on the PGA Tour this year as he starts firm favourite for the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in California. Woods is a 5/1 favourite for the event, which starts on Thursday, although Dustin Johnson often produces his very best here and could be worth backing from tempting odds of 20/1 with Stan James.]]></description><link>http://www.betting-directory.com/golf/07022012/att-pebble-beach-pro-am-odds-tiger-woods-heads-the-betting-in-california.php</link><pubDate>2012-02-07 15:40:49</pubDate><category>golf</category></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dubai Desert Classic Odds Rory McIlroy a short priced favourite in the betting]]></title><description><![CDATA[
	This week sees the final leg of the &#39;Desert Swing&#39;, with the Omega Dubai Desert Classic signing off what has been an excellent few weeks in the Middle East. This small period in the Race to Dubai calendar is my favourite as very strong course form gives you the chance to whittle your shortlist down to some very reliable players. Whether it&#39;s just the time of year or the course set ups in the desert, there are certain players who return to Abu Dhabi, Qatar and Dubai year after year with a good week&#39;s work. Take last week for example, Paul Lawrie has always played well in Doha and the Scot returned to the scene of his 1999 victory with a 50/1 win tipped up by the Betting Directory.]]></description><link>http://www.betting-directory.com/golf/07022012/dubai-desert-classic-odds-rory-mcilroy-a-short-priced-favourite-in-the-betting.php</link><pubDate>2012-02-07 14:32:48</pubDate><category>golf</category></item><item><title><![CDATA[Phoenix Open Odds Rickie Fowler a good bet to break his duck at Scottsdale]]></title><description><![CDATA[
	The Waste Management Phoenix Open tees off on Thursday on the PGA Tour with a host of Americans near the top of the betting. Contrary to the sponsors name, the golf should be of the highest quality on a terrific course, the TPC Scottsdale in Arizona. This is one of the most popular courses on the PGA Tour in main due to the fantastic 16th hole. A par three played out in front of a stadium full of raucous fans it is unique on tour. The course is pretty standard barring the 16th, a par 71 track over 7000 yards you&#39;d think it would favour the bombers but this hasn&#39;t always been the case. The scoring is always low here, the greens are fair and it ranks as one of the easiest on tour in the scrambling stats.]]></description><link>http://www.betting-directory.com/golf/31012012/phoenix-open-odds-rickie-fowler-a-good-bet-to-break-his-duck-at-scottsdale.php</link><pubDate>2012-01-31 10:56:22</pubDate><category>golf</category></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commercialbank Qatar Masters Odds Quiros can bounce back in the Desert]]></title><description><![CDATA[
	The &#39;Desert Swing&#39; continues in earnest this week on the Race to Dubai as the tour moves on to the Commercialbank Qatar Masters beginning on Thursday. Last week punters were treated in Abu Dhabi as the likes of Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods pushed England&#39;s Robert Rock all the way to securing his second victory on tour. None of that trio feature this week but there is still a strong field, with world number two Lee Westwood heading the betting in Doha.]]></description><link>http://www.betting-directory.com/golf/31012012/commercialbank-qatar-masters-odds-quiros-can-bounce-back-in-the-desert.php</link><pubDate>2012-01-31 10:56:11</pubDate><category>golf</category></item><item><title><![CDATA[Farmers Insurance Open Odds Watney heads Mickelson in PGA betting]]></title><description><![CDATA[
	There&#39;s a strong line-up assembled at Torrey Pines Golf Club in California this week for the Farmers Insurance Open beginning on Thursday. Length is one of the main contributory factors this week as Torrey Pines South is the longest course on the PGA Tour measured at 7,698 yards. The tournament is played on the club&#39;s north and south courses and an interesting stat is that no first time visitor has ever walked away with the title. The key in the past is to shoot low on the North course, ranked the seventh easiest on tour the last five winners have averaged 66 strokes on this track. It&#39;s no real surprise that bombers have a good record here with Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Nick Watney and Bubba Watson all recent winners.]]></description><link>http://www.betting-directory.com/golf/24012012/farmers-insurance-open-odds-watney-heads-mickelson-in-pga-betting.php</link><pubDate>2012-01-24 17:15:04</pubDate><category>golf</category></item><item><title><![CDATA[Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship Odds Quiet man Luke Donald can get early win on the board]]></title><description><![CDATA[
