US PGA Tour Golf, The 84 Lumber classic of Pennsylvania
TIGER WOODS goes insearch of his sixth PGA Tour victory of
the season this week when he tees it up at the TPC of Boston
in the Deutsche Bank Championship. As per usual when the
world number one dons his spikes, punters will have to
decide whether to lay or play. Last yea~ Woods was a 5-1
shot to win what was the second renewal of this tournament
but finished only third after going head to head with Vijay
Singh in the final pairing on the Sunday.
Twelve months on, bettors will be lucky to get half those
odds after Tiger’s remarkable run of form figures that read
3-2-2-1-2-4-1 since missing the cut at the Byron Nelson
Championship in May. Those bare numbers might suggest that
only anything above 7-2 is worth taking but the key for me
is the lack of strength in depth in the field, making Woods
impossible to oppose even at skinnier odds than those.
Just six players from the world’s top 30 - including Tiger -
will be playing at the Massachusetts layout, which given the
prize money on offer ($10,000 shy of £1 million) and the
date in the calendar (not opposite any other big tournament
on another tour or preceding or following a major American
event) must be hugely disappointing for the sponsors.
Still, they have Tiger, which will be enough for them and
should be enough for punters. He is one of only three
players to boast successive top-ten finishes in the event
(defending champion Vijay Singh and 2003 winner Adam Scott -
who astonishingly isn’t playing - are the others) and has
the best form of the field by far.
Singh will be the big danger, but as the field is weak I’ll
put up two outsiders alongside Woods in the hope
they can nick a place.
