PGA Weekend Wrap-Up – Swedes Took Weekend

A pair of Swedes won on the PGA Tour and European Tour, and I’m pretty sure nobody cared. Carl Pettersson won the Wyndham Championship by two-strokes, while Peter Hanson won the Scandinavian Masters. Why the apathy for these tournaments? Well, the FedEx Cup championship begins next weekend, you degenerate!

With Tiger Woods continuing rehab, the PGA betting scene has been wide open. Nobody has seized the opportunity more than Padraig Harrington who won the Open and the PGA Championship. The momentum heading in to next weekend’s Deutsche Bank Championship at TPC of Boston has to carry Harrington in to the tourney as the favorite.

He knows how to win, which is the exact trait that so many other golfers have failed to display it. His thrilling victories where nothing short of remarkable considering that he blindsided Greg Norman, Ben Curtis and Sergio Castillo, amongst others, en route to two stunning victories.

However, the FedEx playoffs are a different breed. The officials have narrowed the scoring gap between players, meaning that the players won’t be able to move up the charts - or take massive breaks – at their leisure. Nobody responds to pressure better than Tiger. Though Paddy has proven that he can respond to that pressure, it doesn’t mean that he will respond over the course of four, exhausting tournaments.

Phil Mickelson has been all over the map. Vijay Singh has been as unreliable as Jim Furyk. Other contenders, like Sergio Garcia, simply haven’t been playing at a consistent level to convince any betting degenerate that their worth the investment.

Right now, the only person I would put my money on is Padraig. But if this golf betting season has proven anything, it is simply to expect the unexpected.

Man it’s going to be a great month of golf. Stay tuned to our locker room for all the news you’ll need to properly invest heading in to the FedEx Cup Championship!
