2014 WGC Cadillac Championship Betting Preview Tips And Predictions

Course

Gil HanseThe TPC Blue Monster at Doral hosts for the eighth time this year, but this week sees the unveiling of the Gil Hanse redesign for Donald Trump.  With the average winning score between 16 and 19 under over the past five years, Hanse has lengthened and toughened up several holes in an effort to provide a sterner test more fitting to what the best in the world deserve in a WGC event.  The iconic 18th hole, one of the toughest on Tour remains one of the few holes untouched.  The Blue Monster has always rewarded straight hitters from the tee and I expect the ball strikers and GIR merchants to contend.  For a more detailed look at the changes in Hanse’s words click here.

 

Favourites: Rory McIlory 8/1

 

March 07, 2013; Miami, FL, USA; Rory McIlroy hits his tee shot at the16th hole at the WGC Cadillac Championship at Trump Doral Golf Club. Mandatory Credit: Brad Barr-USA TODAY SportsWith Tiger Woods walking off the course with a back injury during the final round of the Honda Classic, Rory McIlroy’s odds as favourite could be tightened even more than his current 8/1 before Thursday’s start of the WGC Cadillac. Amid all the drama I thought Rory was a touch unlucky in the playoff when his bunker shot failed to check. As if it were not obvious, I have it on good authority from inside the ropes that McIlroy is close to his best. Three top 10’s in his last three visits to Doral with a best of third in 2012.

 

 

Dustin Johnson 20/1

 

dustinFully fit and reinvented as an exceptionally consistent player, a rested Dustin returns this week at odds of 20/1. Leads the Tour in scoring average and GIR stats. Tied second at Pebble, second again at the Northern Trust as part of five top-6 finishes in his last six starts. Second to Nick Watney in 2011 and finished just outside the top 10 last season.

 

Adam Scott 14/1

 

scottHow cool is Adam Scott? Literally swans back into the locker room seven weeks after the Hyundai (T6) and Sony Open (T8) and shoots four rounds of par or better at the Honda Classic (T12). Surely playing his way towards a tilt this week after tying third in 2013 with a blistering 64 final round which ripped through the field. Top 10’d too in 2009 (T8) and 2011 (T6). Ball striker for a ball strikers course.

 

Sergio Garcia 25/1

 

sergio garcia qatarHis victory in Qatar will have given Sergio back his belief that he can convert his good play into winning. Although we didn’t see much of him in the coverage of The Honda I was very impressed with the way he went about recovering from a Thursday 72 to finish T8. Would you believe that Serg has finished in the top 20 in his last 10 events stretching back to the Deutsche Bank at the end of August 2013? Tied third in 2013.

 

Kevin Streelman 100/1

streelmanKevin Streelman can be got widely at odds of 100/1 (180/1 on the exchanges) this week. Tied 15th when the last played here in 2011. Straightest off the tee statistically on Tour and perennial cut maker and seems to me to come out of hibernation in March. Each way or to finish in the top 10 this is the best value bet of the week.

 

Keegan Bradley 30/1

 

bradleyBradley is on a serious line of form with top 20 finishes in five or his last six events.  His T12 at The Honda was a function of a Sunday 73 which undid some super play over the first three rounds. Huge connections with Doral through swing coach Jim McClean, Keegan has finished T8 in 2012 and seventh in 2013.

 

Best of The Rest

 

Matt Kuchar is rested and back this week at 35/1. Three top 10’s in his last four starts and a very impressive formline at Doral with a T3 in 2010, 5th in 2011 and T8 in 2012. Great each way odds.

Luke Donald is still out at 50/1 even after his impressive T8 last week at The Honda. Finished T6 in 2012 and 2011 here. Much improved driving stats last week; if he can keep that going is worth a look.

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 t...

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 M...
