There is nothing better than betting on golf majors. There are just so many options and available markets to sink your teeth into. You get to watch and follow your players through four exciting days of golf, but if that wasn’t enough you get to see history in the making and also make particularly pleasant memories if you managed to land a winner! 888Sport has got all your golf covered and will be offering enough markets for the most discerning punter to sink their teeth into.

888 Sport has Tiger Woods as a $2.62 favourite to win the Open. This appears to be very short but this is no ordinary golfer we are talking about. If he plays his best, Tiger Woods will win and win easily. At the Masters this year he was horribly out of form and yet he was still a chance to win halfway through his final round. He is a true champion and champions tend to win big tournaments.

On the next line of betting is Phil Mickelson at $10.00. The big hitting leftie has plenty on his mind at the moment and this doesn’t appear the best value bet. The best of the Aussies is the ultra consistent Geoff Ogilvy who is at an attractive quote of $21.00.

If you’re looking for some value you might want to take a piece of a few long shots each way. South African Retief Goosen has one of the best games in the world when it comes together and could surprise at $41.00. Robert Allenby has also been hitting the ball well recently and is at $101.00 along with fellow Aussie Adam Scott who is desperate to win his first major.
