Bet PGA Odds
With two events remaining in the 2009 season, some of the better known golfers are tying to end the year on a positive note, making this event a little more competitive than others.
Chad Campbell 14/1
Of the group, Campbell has had the most success since he won the event in 2007 and did not play in last year’s event. Campbell has also been playing well as of late, losing in a playoff two week ago in Las Vegas to settle for second place. Campbell has one of the best resume’s of the field and that should make him a contender this weekend.
Matt Kuchar 20/1
Kuchar hadn’t had much success early in 2009, but is finishing his year strong with a win three weeks ago in the Turning Stone Resort Championship and a seventh place finish a week later. Combine that with his formidable play in the Presidents Cup, and Kuchar should have plenty of confidence this weekend and be a contender.
Charles Howell III 50/1
Howell is a two-time PGA Tour event winner and he has made the cut in his last six events. Howell has finished in the top 20 four times this year. Howell has been up-and-down through his career, but is showing some consistency, which makes him a good play with such large odds.
The 2009 Viking Classic will be played at Annandale in Madison, Wis. starting on Thursday, Oct. 29 and concluding Sunday, Nov. 1.
