I was not surprised to find that bettors had Tiger Woods as the favorite to win the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. I was surprised, however, to see that he was as good as 5/1, and that the next guys on the list are sitting at 20/1. The “smart money” seems to think that Tiger is a pretty good bet to win, and everyone else—not so much.
In the group at 20/1 are Phil Mickelson, Hunter Mahan, Nick Watney and Dustin Johnson. Mickelson is a three time winner; Johnson has two feathers in his cap.
At 25/1, there’s Brandt Snedeker and Rickie Fowler. 30/1 finds Zach Johnson and Bryce Moulder.
I have to confess that the Pebble Beach is not exactly one of my favorite events—mostly due to the insipid television coverage. I really don’t care to see Ray Romano, et. al. mugging for the camera, or care to hear the endless promos for CBS’ latest “hit comedy.” I can hear it now: “Lets go to the fourteenth green for a look at [fill in name], star of the hit [comedy, drama], [fill in name of show here] showing on CBS at [date, time].”
At least we won’t hear that from the Golf Channel.
