Europe Favored Over The U.S. in Ryder Cup Betting Odds

When Tiger Woods is not on the golf course the whole complexion of the competition is changed. Woods will not be competing in this year's Ryder Cup and the result is the Americans are not the gambling favorite.

Europe has become the betting favorite according to odds makers. The Europeans are a 2-3 favorite over the U.S.. The Americans have odds of 5-4, which would indicate that the match should be a good one.

For those who think that the teams are so evenly matched that there will be a tie, you can receive 11-1 odds on a tie occurring. The team event is not the only thing that gamblers can bet on.

Individual player high scores can also be wagered at various sports books. The favorite to win the most points for the European team is Sergio Garcia. He has shown an ability to step up in these type of competitions. His odds are 7-2.

Garcia's teammate Lee Westwood is the second choice among odds makers. He is an 11-2 choice to be the top point scorer. The top American is predicted to be Phil Mickelson, the top U.S. player has 4-1 odds.

Overall, Sergio Garcia and Phil Mickelson have odds of 8-1 to be the competitions high point scorer. The long shot of the field is Oliver Wilson at 80-1.
