Sports Personality Of The Year 2011 Odds: Record Breaker Rory McIlroy Hot Favourite

Whilst enjoying the heady days of Summer, before even the kids have broken up for their holidays, it may seem very premature to cast our minds towards the BBC's premier sporting trophy in the Autumn, given what remains of the sporting calendar and the British players that are sitting in pole position for any of the remaining highspots, but bookmakers Paddy Power have clearly already had substantial interest in the prize and have an extensive BBC Sports Personality Of The Year market. Unsurprisingly the leader of the field is Rory McIlroy at short odds of 2/5.

Whilst the BBC trophy meticulously includes the word personality, this has always been a way of hiding a year of sporting drought, rather than a real pre-requisite for the winner. Last year's winner, champion jockey A P McCoy certainly was well overdue winning this gong, after his consistent record breaking feats on the race course, but with fewer accomplishments by British sportsmen in the more popular arenas, it was suddenly his time. Although he has made several appearances on Question Of Sport, I think few would argue (including the man himself) that his effervescent or personable character was his winning characteristic, especially when compared to the likes of Phil Tufnell, one of the captain's on the show, whose personality dominates the programme.
