It sure does seem insane to be taking one golfer against the field at even odds. But, in all reality, it probably isn't all that bad of a value...just crazy to be saying that. I'm more interested to see what the odds for the US Open will be....Tiger has won at Torrey Pines like 6 times in a row or something like that...I wouldn't be surprised if he isn't -110 or something like that in the US Open...especially if he fares well in the Masters.

I'm sure I'll be placing a wager on Ogilvy at 25/1. IMHO, if you can get Ogilvy over 20/1, you are getting value. I personally think the guy is the closest player to Tiger on the tour right now. He has the game...sometimes he loses composure...but anytime you can hit long irons like Ogilvy, you are good value at over 20/1 in a Major. Ogilvy's wife gave birth in January and he started slowly this year...but he's come along nicely in the last month or so. The guy has the ability to stare down Tiger. His up and down on the 72nd hole at Winged Foot was stone cold titties. Further, he didn't seem to flinch earlier in the year at the WGC when Tiger was lurking on the final day on the 1st page of the leaderboard. I will add a little caveat here...Ogilvy is my favorite golfer. That tends to happen when I got him at 75/1 the year he won the US Open at Winged Foot. I was probably the only person in America rooting for Phil to choke...nice of him to comply. Having said that, like I said earlier, I do truly believe Ogilvy is one of the top 5 golfers on tour right now.

May just take Tiger and Ogilvy this year and let the chips fall where they may.

GL!!
