Safe to say I am nervous about no Tiger in my WGC tips. However, I am willing to avoid a big bet on Woods at 5/1 - it is either that or a cover bet for a token 2pt win or so. I am not comvinced he is yet a 5/1 shot in this class of field, despite his winning 4 events since the end of last year on courses where he has previously thrived. It is no surprise to me if he does win, but betting is all about value. I'm not convinced.
Paddy Power and SkyBet offer a without Woods market. However, I am not going to put those tips up here, due to the lack of bookmakers offering this bet Tempting though. I have gone for good drivers who can dial in with irons and really like the fact that Westwood has drifted after a loss of form and faith in his irons at the British Open. The pressure is different here and he can make a big play for a first WGC title if he goes well this week. Hope he starts well and then does not go to sleep in rounds 2 and 3, as he has a few times in this event.
Hunter misfired badly last week, but this is a different kind of tournament.Van Pelt and Dufner have been fitting the brief most weeks. It is a different test here, but they should still feature
