US Open Golf Betting Odds Favor Tiger Woods And Phil Mickelson

Tiger Woods is coming off surgery and has not played in a tournament since the Masters. Phil Mickelson has been creeping closer to Tiger over the past couple of years. The two will lead the way into tomorrow's first round of the US Open golf tournament.

Woods and Mickelson are the two gambling favorites heading into the tournament. Woods, as expected, is a strong favorite to win another major. His odds are +250. Mickelson is at +680 on the eve of the tournament.

Woods will have to contend with the unknown. Whether or not he is truly recovered from surgery after the Masters will not be known until he plays a couple of rounds at the US Open.

Mickelson will be trying to capitalize on Woods' long absence from the course. If he wants to put pressure on Woods, he will have the chance. The two are playing in the same group on Thursday and Friday.

The US Open has changed their rules and will be having the top players in the world playing with each other through the first round. It should make for some riveting golf early in the tournament.

If Woods and Mickelson both falter, Sergio Garcia could be one of the golfers who could emerge as a champion. His betting odds are +1600. Vijay Singh is always a threat to fire off a low score, so he also will be one to watch.

Most eyes, however, will be glued to Woods and Mickelson. The tournament is set up so they can dazzle crowds together, and both are hoping not to disappoint.
