GOLF: LATEST BETTING NEWS
JUSTIN ROSE'S US Open win cost Ladbrokes £2million – but I was interested to read about the six punters who won 57 between them! The Englishman was heavily backed before the tournament started at 25-1 and in-play punters had the opportunity to punt Rose as big as 66-1. However,...

GOLF: ST JUDES CLASSIC PREVIEW
The St Jude Classic began life as the Memphis Open, way back in 1958. For the last six years it's preceded the US Open, so we have a couple of factors to consider. How hard will the big-names be trying this week, given their minds will be firmly fixed...
GOLF: NORDEA MASTERS TIPS
I'VE had Bernd Wiesberger in mind for this tournament for a long time as he has just the right game for the venue. The 2012 Ballantine's champion started the year sluggishly but following a fifth-placed finish in Morocco, with a respectable defence in Korea (31st) and a win in...
GOLF: MEMORIAL BETTING TIPS
WHAT will it take to win the Memorial Tournament? Without doubt the key stat is Driving Accuracy. Although the fairways are fairly generous missing them spells disaster and at a ranking of 17th last year, Tiger Woods was the first winner in eight years to rank outside the top...

GOLF: CROWNE PLAZA INVITATIONAL TIPS

GOLF: MILESEY’S BETTING UPDATE

GOLF: ZURICH CLASSIC TIPS

The Ballantine’s Championship Blackstone Golf Club, Icheon, Seoul, South Korea HAVING had just two renewals at this venue, finding a way in isn’t easy, especially as the first winner here was an experienced pro and the second a rookie.

GOLF: RBC HERITAGE 3-BALL BETTING

US MASTERS: THE VERDICT
IT was one finish to the US Masters last night but what we learned for next year? Adam Scott, who went off at 30.0, ticked all the boxes both before the event and in-running. At 32 he was bang-on the right age to win his first Green Jacket. He'd...
US MASTERS: 2-BALL TIPS
AFTER last year's third place, Peter Hanson's Masters campaign has been bitterly disappointing but I can see him battling on for a respectable finish. His consistent record owes much to an ability to keep moving forward when all seems lost, as illustrated last week with a final round 66...
GOLF: US MASTERS DAY 1 REVIEW
SERGIO GARCIA turned in a bogey-free round to claim a share of the Masters lead. Garcia shot a six-under 66 on Thursday, leaving him tied with Marc Leishman and matching the Spaniard’s best score at Augusta National. Marc Leishman’s second go at the Masters began with an opening-round 66...
US MASTERS: 3-BALLS TIPS (RD 1)

US MASTERS: MR FIXIT’S TIPS
TIGER WOODS is back – and boy how golf's missed him. There's a buzz about the sport again and no matter your thoughts on his private indiscretions there's nothing better than watching the world No.1 rip apart a challenging course. When you think Tiger you think Green Jacket. It's...

US MASTERS: HOLE-IN-ONE BETTING
THIS will be the 77th US Masters and during the first 76 events there have only been 23 aces. At first glance their scarcity would suggestt the only feasible option is to lay Yes or back No in the Hole-in-one Market but that’s definitely not the case. In the...
US MASTERS: ENGLISH CHALLENGE
IT'S been 14 long years since a European golfer donned the famous Green Jacket and on recent evidence it will take a big effort for one to win the first Major of the season come Sunday evening. I believe the Europeans are worth opposing at this week's US Masters....
GOLF: VALERO TEXAS OPEN PREVIEW
THE avalanche of money behind Tiger Woods’ bid for a fifth US Masters title shows no sign of stopping after none of his closest rivals made a meaningful bid for the Houston Open which instead went to rank outsider DA Points. Matched at the maximum odds of 1000.0 pre-tournament,...
GOLF: SHELL HOUSTON OPEN
PHIL MICKELSON is a mercurial and fascinating character and I can't wait to see how he performs in the Shell Houston Open this week. At Bay Hill last week he was dreadful, four-putting from four feet on one occasion and playing just about as bad as he can but...
GOLF: TIGER BACK ON TOP
TIGER WOODS is in to 4.7 favourite to win the first Major of the season – the US Masters – after returning to the top of the world rankings with a smooth success at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Woods led the field by two going into the weather-interrupted final...
GOLF: TAMPA BAY CLASSIC BETTING
ODDS of 170.0 about Sean O'Hair catch the eye and not just because he's already won this Tampa Bay Classic back in 2008. O'Hair is precisely the sort of proven winner worth sticking with when at big odds due to a lack of recent form. Four PGA Tour wins...
Ryder Cup Betting Preview
THE Ryder Cup starts on Friday and if Paddy Power are right the Americans shouldn't have even bothered turning up. Before the Yanks set foot on UK soil the Irish firm took the unprecedented step of paying out on Europe to win at Celtic Manor. They are that convinced...
RYDER CUP BETTING LATEST
THE Ryder Cup promises to be closely fought but Coral have eased the Europeans to 6-4 (from 5-4) for victory at Medinah later this month after USA skipper Davis Love named his wildcards. The USA are 4-6 (from 4-5) favourites after Love went four a mixture of youth and...
GOLF: US PGA BETTING
I FELT sorry for Adam Scott as his late collapse at The Open handed victory to Ernie Els even though I'd tipped the South African at 45-1. Scott didn't do too much wrong and will be looking to make amends and land his first Major when the PGA Championship...
ELS: OUR 45-1 OPEN CHAMP
LIKE the big man himself I can scarcely believe it. Ernie Els, Open champion 2012. All day it looked Adam Scott's Claret Jug until the Big Easy birdied his final hole to set a target that proved too good in the end for the Aussie nearly man. I tipped...
GOLF: THE OPEN FINAL ROUND
ADAM SCOTT has one hand on the Claret Jug and it will be difficult to wrestle golf's most famous trophy away from the Australian on Sunday evening. Scott has played exceptionally well over the first three rounds at Lytham and looked coolness personified as he defended a four-shot lead...
GOLF: THE OPEN BETTING LATEST
THE OPEN is about to tee off and once again the race for the Claret Jug is wide open. Windy conditions are predicted on Thursday and Sunday so the chances of many could be blown away before they've really got going. The Royal Birkdale track is tight and tough...
GOLF: SCOTTISH OPEN TIPS
CASTLE STUART is the perfect setting for The Open warm-up and a strong field has gathered in the north of Scotland. World No.1 Luke Donald starts as short-priced favourite to defend his Scottish Open title and is 8-1 favourite with the likes of William Hill, Ladbrokes and bet365. The...
US OPEN COMP: FINAL LEADERBOARD
IT was a close run thing late last night at Olympic as Webb Simpson emerged from the pack to win the US Open and it was just as close in my US Open Competition sponsored by Blue Sq. As Jim Furyk's challenge faded so did overnight leader Jonathan Grieve's...
US OPEN COMP: ROUND 3 LEADERBOARD
AFTER Round 3 at Olympic Jonathan Grieve has stolen a march on the rest of the field in my US Open Competition, sponsored by Blue Sq. His team of Westwood, Furyk and Garcia kept up the pace to put him on a aggregate score of +6, three points ahead...
US OPEN COMP: ROUND 2 LEADERBOARD
IT'S been a tough two rounds in the US Open at Olympic with just three players under par. Those are Tiger Woods, Mr Fixit's 40-1 tip Jim Furyk and David Toms all on -1. Woods has proven a popular pick in our competition, as has Furyk but no one...
GOLF: US OPEN BETTING TIPS
A COUPLE of days ago I was asked for my thoughts on the US Open and the names I put up were Luke Donald and Jim Furyk. The reasoning behind that was all the reports about the brutal Olympic course suiting an accurate player over a big hitter. A...
GOLF: US MASTERS BETTING LATEST
BY the look of our Masters contest leaderboard plenty of you took our golf tipster's advice and backed Phil Mickelson pre-tournament. The American was tipped up by Steven Clark at 12-1 and is now a biggest 6-4 (various) to put on the Green Jacket tonight. Mickelson stormed round Augusta's...
US MASTERS: BETTING NEWS
THERE are some cracking Masters offers out there and not much better than the Tiger Woods' special from Paddy Power. They will refund all losing outright bets up to £100 if the great man wins. So this is one for backers of players such as Rory McIlroy, Phil Mickelson...
US MASTERS: 1ST RD THREEBALLS
By Steven Clark PREDICTING the winner from a three-ball matchup can be one of the trickier bets to successfully navigate in golf. I don’t see any real value in going with someone shorter than 1-1 when they have two people up against them so on that note I’ll be...
US MASTERS: BEST OF THE REST
By Steven Clark I'VE already flagged up Phil Mickelson as my Masters winner and now I'm looking beyond the main contenders for some each-way value. Aside from Mickelson's win two years ago the majority of Masters champions in recent years have came from out of nowhere to claim victory....
GOLF: US MASTERS PREVIEW
EVEN without a rejuvenated Tiger Woods v the young pretender Rory McIlroy, the US Masters would be one of the highlights of the sporting year. Thursday marks the start of the 76th Masters and I'm hoping to give you some pointers from a betting direction. Firstly, I'm having a...
GOLF: £140,000 LUCKY LINE
I LOVE hearing about big winners – and here's three from the world of golf. A 60-year-old man from Belfast picked up almost £140,000 at the weekend on a bet he placed with Coral in error. He thought he had backed Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano to win the Qatar Masters and...
GOLF US PGA
GOLF'S stars tee it up in the USPGA Championship on Thursday with America having one last chance to claim a Major this season. Charl Schwartzel, Rory McIlroy and Darren Clarke have taken the first three big ones of the season and McIlroy is the bookies favourite in Atlanta....
GOLF: BMW OPEN 2nd Rd
HENRIK STENSON is just 4-1 with William Hill to win the BMW International Open after starting with an eight-under 64 in Munich. The Swede is one clear of George Boyd who I marked out as an 80-1 dangerman pre-tournament. English ace Boyd is now 14-1 with the likes of...
GOLF: BMW OPEN
RORY McILROY quite rightly has taken a week off after his US Open power show. That at least gives someone else a chance of glory at the BMW International Open in Munich. Home hero Martin Kaymer is title favourite at a best 10-1 with Paddy Power but his recent...
RORY McILROY SPECIALS
FOLLOWING Paddy Power’s €1.7million payout on Rory McIlroy’s maiden major victory at the US Open the bookie has opened betting on how great the Northern Irish wizard will go on to be. One man who must have been sweating almost as much as the bookies would have been an...
US OPEN: TIGER WOODS OUT
WILLIAM HILL are refunding all bets placed on Tiger Woods following his withdrawal from the US Open. Hills now have joint favourites with Lee Westwood, Luke Donald and Phil Mickelson all 12-1. Spokesman Rupert Adams said: “Tiger’s withdrawal will probably be excellent for turnover as without him the field...
GOLF: PLAYERS CHAMPIONSHIP
BOOKIES aren't seeing much money on Tiger Woods despite William Hill quoting him at 14-1 to win the Players Championship. Woods came close to winning the US Masters before sitting out injured but he'll be back in the hunt at Sawgrass. Phile Mickelson is equally friendless at 16-1 with...
US MASTERS AFTERMATH
RORY McILROY'S US Masters collapse was painful to watch and sore on the pocket. He was one of my tips to win at Augusta and for more than three rounds the 33-1 shot looked unstoppable until his game went to pot. Drives were pushed miles left then the Irish...
GOLF: US MASTERS TIPS
PUNTERS have lumped on Phil Mickelson to make sure he starts hot favourite to win a fourth Green Jacket. The US Masters, the first Major of the season, tees off on Thursday and last week's Shell Houston Open champion is a best 7-1 with Ladbrokes. Woods is his biggest...
GOLF: US MASTERS COUNTDOWN
FOR the first time in a decade Tiger Woods is out to 10-1 to win the US Masters. William Hill have reported a massive gamble on Phil Mickelson who has been cut from 9-1 to 13-2. Mickelson, who won the Shell Houston Open on Sunday night, is 4-5 to...
GOLF: US MASTERS LATEST
TIGER WOODS is no longer the favourite to win The Masters – for the first time in 11 years. The former world No.1 was overtaken in the betting last night by Phil Mickelson who was all the rage last night after winning the Shell Houston Open with a final...
GOLF: TIGER WOODS BETTING
FOR the first time in almost two years William Hill can report Tiger Woods' backers are back in force. Woods is 7-1 to win the Arnold Palmer that starts on Thursday and so-far he has attracted more than half of the early money. Tiger is 1-7 to make the...
GOLF: DUBAI DESERT CLASSIC
TIGER WOODS has surprised everyone over his first three rounds in Dubai – but we shouldn't be too surprised. The world No.3 still has the game to beat anyone, it's just he hasn't proved it for a while. On a course he loves Woods goes into the final round...
In December 2020 we sadly lost our great friend Mr Fixit (Paul Jain).
