In the build up to the US Open, Tiger Wood's odds have shortened following a successful comeback from a knee operation. Some say that this Major may be too much too soon, but he has already grabbed two tour victories already this year and it will take a brave man to oppose him in this event. It would be no surprise to see him retain the US Open crown with his second victory at Bethpage.
As with every event that Tiger plays in, the odds on the other players are always much bigger than perhaps the form suggest and several players have a chance to capitalise if Tiger isn't fully fit. Phil Mickelson is always a big danger and could well be a good bet to capture his first US Open crown after finishing second four times, providing he plays of course. Sergio Garcia, Paul Casey and Padraig Harrington probably represent the best chances of a European victory for the first time since 1970.
Outright Betting
The most popular type of bet on golf is outright betting which is when you back the one player from all US open players who you think is going to win the tournament before the start of the event.

However, Tiger Woods is always the favourite for majors and will be a shorter price than the other players. In the build uptot the start of the Championship, their are always many US Open Tips from golf experts in the media. These can often prove useful if you do not have an in depth knowledge of the form that the US Open players are in.
US Open In Play Odds
Because the golf majors are played over four days, bookmakers continually change the odds on the players as they make their way around the course. If they are playing well odds will shorten whilst poor performances will see the odds drift. Betting in-play is a great way of backing players who look to be in form and playing well as the tournament unfolds.
