Betting Odds For the 2010 Waste Management Phoenix Open

Finally a “regular tournament”—and one in which we don’t have to say “in the absence of Tiger Woods,” since this is one he typically didn’t play.

In spite of what I view as a lackluster performance in the early going, Phil Mickelson, has been set as the bettors favorite at 7/1.  Martin Kaymer and Geoff Ogilvy are in at 18/1, while Ian Poulter and JB Holmes are at 22/1.

Holmes is a two-time winner: 2006 and 2008. Mickelson won in 2005 and 1996. Given Holmes recent success, I wonder why he’s not higher on the oddsmakers lists.
