2013 Hyundai Tournament of Champions Betting Preview and Tips

2013 Hyundai Tournament of Champions Betting Tips

The PGA Tour powers up slowly this week with the annual “bring the wife and kids along” Tournament of last years champions at the Plantation Course at Kapalua in Maui. The event runs from Friday to Monday so plenty of time to get your bet on.

The par 73, 7,400 yard course is distinctive in that it is wide open off the tee. Last seasons staging saw over 40 drives travelling 400 yards or more. The 8,000 sq foot greens are traditionally the easiest to hit on the PGA Tour.

Steve Stricker 14/1

It seemed last season that Steve Stricker was fading just a little but seven top 10’s including a win here at Kapalua is not to be sneezed at. The veteran has posted four top 10’s in his last five visits here including a second to Daniel Chopra in 2008 and a tied fourth behind Jonathon Byrd in 2011. Stricker is a masters of the green complexes here leading the field in total putting and scrambling during last years staging. His second round of 63 which set up the win was just incredible.

Johnson Wagner 66/1

Wagner is pitched at 66/1 this week on the back of a terrible run to finish last season, not managing better than 25th in his last 20 events. For me however Wagner remains a good January campaigner. In his two appearances at this event he has top 10’d and last season he got his win the following week at the Sony Open before finishing second at the Clinton event. Worth an each way look.

Bill Haas 20/1

I was very impressed with the way Billy carried himself as the only American in South Africa at The Nedbank just before Christmas. He finished third there; a strong indicator that he intends carrying peak form through the Christmas season when most others have shelved their weaponry. Finished in eighth here two years ago.

Scott Piercy 25/1

They say first timers find it tough to handle The Plantation Course but last January Scott Piercy passed that exam with flying colours on his debut. He finished just outside the top 10 with rounds of 72, 71, 69, 68. Piercy was the form player at the end of 2012, expect even better from him this year.

Bubba Watson 14/1

Kapalua is custom made for Bubba Watson and if this tournament was staged mid season I reckon he would win every time. Bubbas length, you would think gives him a huge advantage here but for me it’s his prowess on the tricky Plantation Course greens that get him my vote this week. According to shotlink Watson played all four rounds without a single three putt. The problem is he may not be up for it after the Christmas break. Tied second last time out in Asia.

Two Naked Pics Of Holly Sonders. The Big News To Emerge From The 2013 PGA Show

Image
The media centre at the 2013 PGA Show was buzzing yesterday.  Not because of anything that happened at the show.  God forbid! When I rocked in, several men (and one woman) were gathered around an iphone ogling and sharing  two pics of who they claimed were Holly Sonders naked. Now I have to hold my hands up and say, I had to google her to find out she’s from The Golf Channel. I don’t watch the Golf Channel because I don’t have an erectile dysfunction problem or need to rent a car from National.  I’m told adverts for both are all that’s on that channel. How they knew for certain it was her, I dont know.  Unless the cheeks of her ass were on her passport photo and they recognized them from there, but I doubt it. The First Pic The first pic is taken from behind. No pun intended.  The media guys say it was taken by her fiancee (?) and shows Holly in a white thong which has disappeared a dangerously long ways into the bummage.  I’m talking two aerial liquitabs and a hot whit

Sarah Stirk Nipple Gate: Navy Top Leaves Viewers Disappointed

Image
London: Sky Sports management this morning issued a statement  apologizing to subscribers after Sarah Stirk wore a navy dress live on air.  It is believed up to 60,000 horny golfers were left limp after they tuned in to final round coverage of the Valero Texas Open in the hope of getting a glimpse of the legendary Stirk starter buttons. “I pay my subscription, I’m bloody well entitled to see Sarah’s Wimbledon strawberries” said factory worker Paul Manning 52 from Hereford. “I even missed the ten minute freeview, coz my mate Derek tweeted that Stirk was going into the shot centre for ten minutes at 11pm”. The Sky statement read: We apologize unreservedly for the navy dress Sarah wore during last nights broadcast, through which no nipples were visible. This was due to a wardrobe malfunction. However we do intend to rectify this during our US Masters coverage and assure viewers that plenty of bridge rivets will be on show, both from Sarah and special guest Colin Montgomeri
