Ryder Cup golf betting
September 16, 2008 by Ben Filed under: Sports Betting
Ryder Cup golf betting at PinnacleSports.com has reacted to the announcements of the twelve man teams for defending champions, Europe, and the challengers, USA, hoping that territorial advantage and new captain, Paul Azinger, will make all the difference. Nick Faldo’s European team have hardened as favourites on the Ryder Cup outright betting, now priced 1.870* with the Americans drifting to 2.300* and the Tie available at 13.520*, in a market priced to less than 105%.

The movement toward the Europeans maybe a reflection that half of Azinger’s team are Ryder Cup rookies, looking to end a sequence of three successive defeats at the Valhalla Golf Club in Kentucky. Though the likes of JB Holmes (26) & Anthony Kim (23) – the first American under 25 to win twice in one year on the PGA Tour since Tiger Woods in 2000 – are considered champions of the future, are they ready for the Ryder Cup pressure cooker? Four of the European team make their Ryder Cup debut, but there is still plenty of experience and unity, with Padraig Harrington – British Open and USPGA champion – brimming with confidence. Ryder Cup talisman, Colin Montgomerie, didn’t make the squad after a torrid season, with Faldo’s captain picks going to Ian Poulter and Paul Casey.
The full teams are:
Europe
Nick Faldo (non-playing captain), Padraig Harrington (IRE), Sergio Garcia (SPA), Lee Westwood (ENG), Henrik Stenson (SWE), Robert Karlsson (SWE), Miguel Angel Jimenez (SPA), Graeme McDowell (ENG), Justin Rose (ENG), Soren Hansen (DEN), Oliver Wilson (ENG), Ian Poulter (ENG ) and Paul Casey (ENG).
USA
Paul Azinger (non-playing captain), Phil Mickelson, Stewart Cink, Kenny Perry, Jim Furyk, Anthony Kim, Justin Leonard, Ben Curtis, Boo Weekley, Steve Stricker, Hunter Mahan, JB Holmes and Chad Campbell
