European Ryder Cup Team Selection Odds
The European Ryder Cup Team selection Odds makes interesting reading this week as the team begins to take real shape. Betting on the selections has a reduced market as at least nine players have virtually guaranteed their places. On the world points list table the top five are
- Padraig Harrington
- Sergio Garcia
- Lee Westwood
Henrik Stenson- Robert Karlsson
These five are pretty much guaranteed selection, although there is an injury doubt concerning Karlsson. The next five and the two wildcard selections is somewhat closer and the final qualifying tournament, the Johnny Walker Championships at Gleneagles this week will have a major bearing of who will be automatically selected and who will not.

The top three on that list, Miguel Angel Jiminez, Graeme McDowell and Justin Rose should all make it, but the next two automatic qualifying spots, currently occupied by Soren Hansen and Oliver Wilson will be under severe threat this week from the likes of Martin Kaymer, Ross Fisher, Soren Kjeldson and Nick Dougherty. Players such as Ian Poulter and Paul Casey will have to hang their hat on a wildcard selection as they will not contest the Johnny Walker Championship this week, due to commitments on the PGA Tour. Other who will be hoping for a Ryder Cup wildcard will be Darren Clarke. His magnificent victory at the Dutch KLM event last weekend has probably put him pole position for one and if that is the case then Captain, Nick Faldo will have one to choose from the rest, that would also include Ryder Cup talisman, Colin Montgomerie and Irishman, Paul McGinley. .
