2008 HSBC Champions Golf Odds

The 2008 HSBC Champions Golf odds has defending champion and world Number 2, Phil Mickelson at the head of the market at around the 9/1 mark. The tournament marks the start of the Europeans PGA ‘Road to Dubai' competition, and has effectively replaced the European Order of Merit title, won only last week for the 2008 tour, by Swede, Robert Karlsson.

Karlsson will also be competing in this event and he too is right up there in the betting. The tournament has attracted a superb field and has prize money of $5 million. The winner will receive 833,000 dollars, so it is little wonder why the event has attracted some of the world's best.

This willbe the fourth year that the event has been staged and it has grown significantly in status in that time. To qualify for a place in the field a player must first of all rank in the top fifty in the world and must have also won a PGA sanctioned tournament during the preceding year.

In its inaugural year it was won by David Howell of England, and then last year it was won by little known Korean golfer, Yang Yong –eun. But it was Mickelson's victory last year that certainly helped the tournament establish itself and he will be hoping to repeat the success this year. He had to beat England pair, Lee Westwood and Ross Fisher in a play off to claim victory in 2007 and both Fisher and Westwood line up again this year. Soren Kjeldsen, winner last week at the Volvo Masters in Spain was the final qualifier to make the field.
