BMW Championship Odds (2009)
BMW Championship odds were currently available at William Hill.
The European Tour's flagship event takes place this week at Wentworth with a world class field that includes an impressive eight major winners. However, it's world top-ten stars Henrik Stenson and Paul Casey who are the joint favorites to win the tournament with 12/1 odds.
Recent form suggests that Wentworth is generally a course that favours players who draw the ball off the tee, that is, ones that naturally move it from right-to-left, according to the folks at William Hill.
That bookmaker offers some useful strategies when betting on the BMW Championship:
So now we have worked out a little edge, always the key when it comes to putting one over on the bookies, our punting portfolio will only include men who are most at ease drawing the ball.
First up is Argentina's Andres Romero with BMW Championship odds at 40/1 can boast a 6th and 12th on his last two visits to Wentworth. The former Zurich Classic of New Orleans and Deutsche Bank Players' Championship winner has had a quiet season thus far but on a layout that clearly suits is well worth an interest. This lad is pure class as underlined by his record in eight career Major championships that have yielded four top-10 finishes. (17/5 to finish in the top 10 here) Thomas Bjorn available at 50/1 makes our three off the tee on account of his sound recent form that saw him finish third and sixth in Spain and Italy respectively. A Wentworth resident, Bjorn was a regular in the top 20 here when playing his better golf and that's most definitely the case again now. Keep an eye out for the Liverpool supporting Dane in any 72 hole match bets and three ball betting.
At a massive price of 125/1 have a close look at recent Italian Open winner Daniel Vancsik.
The burly Argentinean has the game to take Wentworth´s par fives apart. He finished 16th last year and his confident mood could well see him get in the thick of things on Sunday.
And for those who doubt such a big priced player could win this classy event. Remember past winners Scott Drummond and Andrew Oldcorn (both huge prices of 300/1 to triumph this year) who have screamed home here at 150/1 plus when nobody gave them a prayer at the start.
The European Tour event is played each May over the West Course at Wentworth Club outside London. It was founded in 1955 and was originally the British PGA Championship. Since then it has had several sponsored names, but the phrase "PGA Championship" has usually been included in the name.
The PGA European Tour is headquartered at Wentworth, and the Championship is often regarded as the flagship event on the European Tour as it is the tour's home event and it has usually has the highest prize money of any event which it organises (€4,250,000 in 2006 and €4,350,000 in 2007).
This is a lead-in to the uber popular British Open, taking place this year July 16 thru 19 and of course William Hill will be offering betting on the Open as well.
