Golf: Texas Crowne Plaza Invitational – Latest Betting
GOLF – TEXAS CROWNE PLAZA INVITATIONAL – May 22 – 25th
The Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial returns, with Texan natives seeking to improve on their records at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth. Ten native Texans have won (Ben Hogan 5 times), but none since 1990. Nineteen Texans play on the tour and eight of them have won an event somewhere in the state, though none have been victorious at Colonial. A couple of players who have been close in recent years return to try to end the Texas drought. Justin Leonard was the runner-up in 2003 and has enjoyed a strong 2008 season. Chad Campbell, the 2004 runner-up, has also played well. Three Texans, Brian Gay, Sean O’Hair and Johnson Wagner have already won this…

Golf: BMW PGA Championship – Latest Betting news from Wentworth
GOLF – WENTWORTH BMW PGA CHAMPIONSHIP – MAY 22nd to 25th
KEY PLAYERS
A cracking field turns out for the European Tour’s flagship event, the PGA Championship at Wentworth, headed by world No. 3 Ernie Els and No. 9 Vijay Singh with four Europeans from the top 20, Luke Donald, Justin Rose, Henrik Stenson and Lee Westwood, topping the supporting cast.
Ernie Els
The “big easy” is a 7-time World Match Play champion, but has not won the PGA in 12 attempts. He managed to produce his best ever finish at the Players Championship (6th) which is encouraging. He also boasts 3 runner-up spots and 2 fourths in this event
Angel Cabrera
Despite being woefully out of form, Cabrera seems a different player at Wentworth…

Golf: AT&T Classic Betting from Georgia, May 15th to 18th
GOLF – AT & T CLASSIC BETTING – GEORGIA – MAY 15th
The TPC Sugarloaf is consistently ranked among the top golf destinations, though its lack of renovation and the progress of other courses have pushed it back a bit in terms of difficulty rankings.
Opened in 1997, TPC Sugarloaf was designed by none other than Greg Norman. Built around native features, Norman readily admits the inspiration for his creation derives from the historic Augusta National, located about two hours southeast of Sugarloaf.
Defending champion Zach Johnson returns with hopes of maintaining his good record in Georgia. Total prize money is $5.5 million, with the winner taking home $990,000.
Due to the strong fields at the Wachovia and Players Championship, with many players…

Golf: Irish Open Betting from Limerick May 15th to 18th
GOLF BETTING – IRISH OPEN – LIMERICK
The Irish Open, at Adare Manor, provides a stern examination, as last year’s winning score of -5 testifies, Padraig Harrington beating Bradley Dredge in a play-off. Irishmen have won 4 of the last 9 European Tour events. Given that Harrington’s preparation is likely to be interrupted by media attention (especially being the reigning Open Champion) if the “hot streak” continues, Paul McGinley might be the man for the job. Despite having slipped to 158th in the World Rankings, he still boasts 5 top-twenty placings from 10 finishes in 2008.
He is fourth-ranked in “Greens in Regulation” and sixth in “Driving Accuracy”, important here as the landing areas are narrower than in 2007. Lee Westwood should find these greens less frustrating…

GOLF – PLAYERS’ CHAMPIONSHIP, Latest Betting news from TPC Sawgrass
TPC Sawgrass, one of golf’s most famous venues, hosts The Players Championship (known as the 5th major) for the 27th time in the tournament’s 35-year history.
The Players Championship Stadium Course is set up to play firmer, with faster greens and more rough. The rough will exceed the two inches of last year, thick enough to make approaches into the small greens a traumatic undertaking.
Defending Champion Phil Mickelson, and Stewart Cink, currently second and third in the 2008 FedEx Cup standings, were the only two players last year to record top-five finishes at the Wachovia Championship and The Players Championship. They come in this year having finished 12th and eighth, respectively, at Wachovia.
Fourteen players…

Golf: Italian Open (Milan) Betting preview
GOLF – MILAN ITALIAN OPEN
His mother’s wish for him to win his first Ryder Cup cap in September means Nick Dougherty, devastated by her death nine days ago, will play in the Italian Open in Milan. Dougherty’s manager said, “Nick’s mum wanted him to do all he could to try to make the Ryder Cup team and so, after much consideration, Nick has decided to stick to his planned playing schedule for the year.” Bookmakers have priced Dougherty up as market leader, but how he will perform on an extremely testing and emotional week remains to be seen.
Mark Foster has gone five years now since his lone victory in Europe. After a poor start to 2008, he showed some decent form for 54 holes…
