Tiger Loses Favorite Spot in US Open

Online gamblers who bet on golf will be interested in the statistics of the upcoming tournament that Tiger Woods will be part of. The golfing phenomenon has long been a favorite of gamblers, probably because he always delivers. Now, however, another golfer is making waves in the industry and giving Tiger a run for his money.

Tiger has had several problems recently, both personally and professionally, that have left him a little rusty. And in the short time that he took to himself, someone else has stepped up to be in the spotlight. Phil Mickleson, a man who is well known in the industry, has taken the lead spot.

So where does that leave gamblers? Thos who like to bet on sporting events already have a reputation for being risky. Anything can happen in a tournament to alter the expected outcome and golf is no different. For now though, sports books are betting that Phil Mickleson will win the US Open at Pebble Beach. This is because of several tournaments where Tiger’s playing was on shaky ground.

Of course, with the odds against him, if Tiger does manage to win those who bet on him will win a lot of money. Gamblers who plan to bet on the US Open will have to make up their own minds on the outcome of the tournament.
