Ryder Cup Odds

The Ryder Cup Odds for this years Ryder Cup betting match to be held at Valhalla already have the European Team as odds on favourites to win at 10/11. The Americans are 11/10. The betting changed into the Europeans favour following the withdrawal of Tiger Woods, but will his absence have the reverse affect on the USA team? Certainly Paul Azinger the USA Captain thinks Tiger's absence will harness the spirit of the team and add even more determination to stop the European golfing juggernaut from winning for a fourth consecutive time.

Selection for the teams is beginning to take close focus as the match is now only just 2 months away, Nick Faldo's team is busy picking themselves but it will undoubtedly leave him with a difficult choice for his two wildcard selections. He would love to make one of those selections, Colin Montgomerie who is clearly an inspiration for the team and has never been beaten in singles matches. However, Montgomerie has been in poor form on the golf course this year and missed the cut last week at his beloved Scottish open last week.

Graeme McDowell, the Ulsterman who won the Scottish Open virtually assured himself a place in the team and will hope to maintain his good form into the match. Others who are virtually certain of making the team are Lee Westwood, Sergio Garcia, Miguel Angel Jiminez, Robert Karlsson and Justin Rose. Faldo will be disappointed that players like Padraig Harrington and Luke Donald have not put themselves in a position for automatic selection. Donald has been off the golf course since the US Open where he injured his wrist and looks doubtful, but worse news is the fact that Harrington also appears to be carrying a wrist injury and might hamper him during the upcoming British Open.
