2010 Northern Trust Open Golf Betting
The Northern Trust Open has been a long standing fixture of PGA Tour, always boasting a roster of top notch ability.
The host for the 2010 Northern Trust Open is the Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, California, which in 30 years of hosting the event produced 6 multiple-time winners. Among them is Phil Mickelson, who’s held the title for 2 years running and is going now for his third. The course is Hogan’s Alley, known for also hosting many of the Majors.
As for the players, top contenders for Mickelson’s title include the runner-up from last year Steve Stricker, 1999 winner Ernie Els, and 2006 winner Rory Sabbatini.
Robert Allenby, the 2001 Northern Trust winner, is at 20/1, having reached the top 10 in 3 of the last 5 years. Not far behind Allenby is Padraig Harrington at 25/1. Pod is an interesting one to watch, as a golfer making his seasonal debut in this event rarely earns such optimism, but he did win three Majors, which has to count for something, even if he comes off a year without a single win. Then there’s Adam Scott, fresh off his unexpected Australian Open win, who’s running between 33/1 and 35/1. Of course, you could ride the 100/1 shot, Davis Love, or the slightly less risky Fred Couples (80/1) and still be hopeful, the former being a world class veteran and the latter being a two-time winner at this club.
The dates for the 2010 Northern Trust Open are February 4 – 7 and the prize purse is $6,400,000. You can bet on golf at Bodog.com, just use a valid Bodog sportsbook promo code when you sign up and get the max bonus.
