Favorite: Sergio Garcia +900
We continue to ride Garcia, as we feel it’s only a matter of time before this guy wins again, the thing is his chances are running out, as there are only 2 more events on the PGA Tour this season. Thats why we think this week will be the time for Garcia, as he just needs a few more putts to fall. Garcia is one golfer that really has a shot at catching Singh in the point standings, and a win this weekend would go a long way in that happening.

Middle of the Pack: Justin Leonard +2500
Justin Leonard has quietly made his way to 4th in the point standings after back to back ties for 7th in the first two rounds of the playoffs. Leonard has one of the nicest looking putting strokes on tour and that makes him a threat to win almost every single weekend. Leonard has just one win this season coming at the Stanfor St. Jude Championship, but we feel it could be the time Leonard comes out and starts getting everyone talking about him.

Long Shot: Chad Campbell +5000
Campbell has really put together a solid season, and his final 2 round performance last weekend at he Deutsche Bank Championship landed him the final spot on the US Ryder Cup team next weekend. Campbell’s performance landed him a tie for 7th last week, and we feel he could really come out and show why he was captain Paul Azinger last man added to a team that is in desperate need of a win this season, as the Europeans have dominated of late.

Phil Mickelson +800 at BetUS.com
The defending champion is in need of a win this weekend, and he couldn’t ask for a better time to roll into the Deutsche Bank Championship. Mickelson is considered by many to be the No. 2 golfer in the world, but with Tiger out of the picture, he really needs to show it with a win in the playoffs this season. As good as Tiger has looked Phil might not get too many more chances to win this thing, and you know its something he wants to add to his career achievements. We really like this guys chances this weekend, but its hard telling what Phil will show up at the golf course.

Sergio Garcia +900 at BetUS.com
Garcia has had some tough luck in winning over the last few weeks, but he is really playing some great golf. With 2 straight 2nd place finishes there is no way you can count this guy out this weekend. Garcia could be finally making the turn into becoming the player everyone thought he would be, and not to mention this guy sits in 2nd behind Singh, and a win this weekend would put him in the driver seat with just 2 tournaments to go.

Vijay Singh +1200 at BetUS.com
What a performance this guy put up over the weekend, as he really played well. The thing that won the tournament was Singh’s putter, that continued to make big putts when called upon. This weekend Singh sits in the position to where he wins a again and he would really have a great shot at winning the playoffs this season, but a bad performance could push him back to where he has to claw his way back to the top with just 2 to go.

Padraig Harrington +1800 at BetUS.com
We were really high on Harrington going into the Barclays, but things just didn’t go the way they were suppose to, as Harrington failed to make the cut. That performance dropped Harrington 19 spots in the point standings, as he went from 4th to 23rd. If Harrington wants to get back in contention and add to a season that already includes 2 major victories, he has to play well this weekend, and we think he will.

Phil Mickelson +800 odds at BetUS.com
Mickelson comes into the playoffs off his 7th place finish at the PGA Championship a couple weeks ago, and you have to know that this is something Phil really wants to add to the trophy case, and a win this weekend could really help his chances. Phil currently is just 250 points behind the leader Kenny Perry, an amount he can easily overcome. Mickelson is the only favorite that has yet to win at the Barclays, but he did pretty well a year ago finishing tied for 7th. Mickelson hasn’t won of late, but you have to like his chances this weekend.

Padraig Harrington +1000 odds at BetUS.com
Harrington comes in just 250 points behind Mickelson, and is easily the hottest golfer as of late winning the final two majors of the season in just a matter of 3 weeks. Harrington came from behind to steal the show most recently at the PGA Championship putting up back-to-back rounds of 66 over the weekend. Harrington does spend a lot of time on the European Tour, but that really doesn’t matter when it comes down to results. We think Harrington is the guy to beat this weekend, and is our pick to take home the entire playoffs.

Sergio Garcia +1200 odds at BetUS.com
Garcia once again had his chance to win a major at the PGA Championship and wound up finishing 2nd, as Harrington just played too well on Sunday. The plus side of this is Garcia’s game looked good again, and it could mean he is ready to play well and take home the trophy this weekend. Garcia currently sits a long way from first and would likely need to not only win this weekend, but need some help from others, but you just never know. We expect to see Garcia in the top 10 this weekend.

Vijay Singh +1000 odds to win at Sportsbook.com
Its hard to figure out Singh over the last few weeks, as he really didn’t play well at the British Open a few weeks back as he failed to miss the cut. In his next start Singh changed it all around and won the Bridgestone Invitational, but last week things went back down, as he played so bad he missed the cut again. And just for that we are going to ride this little wave and pick Singh to come through with a solid performance this weekend. Singh is safe in the point standings, as he sits in 7th, but a big finish this weekend could give him some much needed motivation and confidence for the playoffs.

Paul Casey +1500 odds to win at Sportsbook.com
This says quite a bit about the play of Casey, getting these good of odds, but if you take some time to look at how this guy has played over the year it gets pretty impressive. Casey followed up his 7th place finish at the British Open and a 8th place finish at the Bridgestone Invitational, with a 15 place finish at the PGA Championship. Casey also finished 11th at the Masters and tied for 9th at the Accenture Match Play Championship. Casey’s stats don’t really blow you away, its just this guy seems to bring it when it matters, so it will be interesting to see how he plays this weekend, when its really not all that important of a tournament.

Phil Mickelson +600
Phil has always played pretty well at the PGA Championship, as he has 7 top 10 finishes, including his first and only win back in 2005. Mickelson has hit a slight dry spell, over the last couple of years, as he hasn’t won a major since the Masters back in 2006. Mickelson does have two wins this season at the Northern Trust Open and the Crowne plaza Invitational. We think Mickelson is primed for a solid finish this year at the PGA Championship.

Ernie Els +900
Els had his best finish at the PGA Championship last year, when he finished 3rd, but over his career this tournament really hasn’t been that well to him. One thing he does have going for him, is he finished tied for 5th the last time the tournament was played at Oakland Hills. We got Els finishing in the top 10, but we don’t think he will be walking away with the trophy.

Vijay Singh +1200
Singh has slightly slowed down in 2008, as he has yet to put up a victory this season, for a guy that has 30 professional wins throughout his career, it might be a little hard to swallow. What Singh should be happy about is playing at the PGA Championship, where he has won the event twice, with the most recent coming back in 2004. Singh will have to deal with the fact that he has missed the cut ach of the last two years, and if you want our opinion we say stay clear of the guy from Figi.

Padraig Harrinton +1400
The two time defending British Open Champion, might sound good to pick to win this weekend, but the thing is this guy has yet to finish better than 17th, and has missed the cut or not played 7 times since 1996. Harrington could surprise everyone this weekend, but our guess is, he makes the cut, but isn’t found in the top 10.

Sergio Garcia +1400
Who can forget Garcia and Woods doing battle at Medinah back in 1999. Garcia was the favorite just a couple weeks ago at the British Open, but couldn’t come through with the performance need to stay anywhere near the top 10. Garcia finished tied for 3rd back in 2006, and we got a gut feeling that this guy is going to come ready to play next weekend.

So there you have a look at 5 guys who have a really great shot at winning the PGA Championship.

Phil Mickelson - +1000 at BetUS.com
Mickelson really hasn’t went on the tear that everyone thought he would after winning the Crowne Plaza Invitational back at the end of May, as he hasn’t finished better than 18th in his last 3 starts that include the US and British Opens. Mickelson has won here before, but that was a long time ago back in 1996. Mickelson has really got himself in trouble off the tee as he is 116th in total driving. While it might not be as important for him to play well this weekend, as it is for him to get his swing ready for next weekend at the PGA Championship.

Sergio Garcia - +1600 at BetUS.com
Many were high on Garcia at the British Open, including us, but he ended up really struggling to get it going and wound up finishing tied for 51st. Garcia really got people back on his side after a great performance at the Memorial tournament, where he took home his first win of the season. If Garcia is going to do well this weekend he needs to improve on the greens, as he ranks a pretty poor 173rd in putts per hole. We really like Garcia and are again high on him to perform well this weekend.

Jim Furyk – +1800 at BetUS.com
Furyk was one of the few big names to play last weekend at the RBC Canadian Open where he finished tied for 14th, but what is more impressive is his 5th place finish at the British Open in some real tough conditions. Furyk is pretty solid off the tees and in the fairways, but just like Garcia he really struggles to get the ball in the hole once he gets on the green. Furyk ranks a little better than Garcia, but is still 124th. If Furyk is going to get it going this weekend he needs to get the flat stick working better, but just like many of the guys in the field all that really matters this weekend is getting ready for the final major of the season at the PGA Championship.

Jim Furyk +800
Its easy to see why Furyk is the overall favorite this weekend, as he has taken care of business the last 2 seasons in the Canadian Open. Furyk is coming in playing some of his best golf of the year including a solid tie for 5th in last weeks British open. Furyk is a safe bet to perform well this weekend.

Anthony Kim +1000
This year Kim is making a quiet run at a very successful season, as he has already put together 2 wins this season at the Wachovia Championship and a few weeks back at the AT&T Classic. Last week Kim put together a solid performance finished tied for 7th at the British Open, and we wouldn’t be surprised to see this guy near the top on Sunday.

Mike Weir +1500
Canada’s real hope this weekend lies in the swing of Weir, who had Canadians on their toes back in 2004. Weir has really struggled this season, but does have a 2nd place finish at the Memorial Tournament. One thing in Weir’s favor this weekend is that Glen Abbey Golf Course is the same site of the 2004 tournament.

Stephen Ames +1500
Ames really hasn’t played that well this season, but he has turned it on in his last 5 tournaments, including a tie for 7th at the British last week. While Ames has a definite shot to win this weekend, we wouldn’t put our money on this guy to win this weekend.

Kenny Perry – 7/1 at Bodoglife.com
Perry is the safest pick this weekend at the John Deere Classic, as he is red hot of late winning 2 of the past 4 events he has teed it up in. Perry has made this season one of his best, as he is currently 3rd in the FedEx point standings. With another win this weekend Perry will be the only other golfer besides Tiger with 3 wins this season.

Aaron Baddeley – 20/1 at Bodoglife.com
Baddeley is a tough guy to predict, as one week he will be in the top 15 or even the top 10, and then a week later he will miss the cut. His best finish of the season came back in April when he finished tied for 2nd at Verizon Hertiage, but just a week earlier he failed to make the cut at the Masters. Baddeley does most of his damage on the greens as he is 10th in putting, but he is a terrible 125th in total driving.

Heath Slocum – 22/1 at Bodoglife.com
Slocum isn’t a guy you hear that much about, but he after a pretty rough to start the season where he missed 2 straight cuts, Slucom hasn’t missed one since that time back in the middle of February. With a 9th place finish at the US Open and then following it up with a 4th place finish at the Travelers Championship. You have to like what you have seen from this guy, and it looks like this guy could be on his way to his first win of the 2008 season.

Its always been tough for Americans to win on European soil, and Mickelson will have the chance to do just that this weekend, as he trys and get his game ready for the upcoming open where he has failed to play well in the past. Mickelson has the game to win wherever he tees it up, but its a matter of if Phil can control himself, and make the smarter shot and keep his head.

Ernie Els – 10/1 at Bodoglife.com
Anytime this guy is on a golf course, you have to think he has a shot to win that weekend. Els has been one of the more consistent golfers over the years, and its European land where this guys seems to play his best. Els is known for his great play almost every year at the British Open and you know he is getting tuned up for another run at the Claret Jug.

Adam Scott: 12/1 at Bodoglife.com
This just might be the guy no one really know about, and he is going to all the sudden have a couple majors and multiple tour wins, and every saying where did this kid come from. But because he plays on the European Tour as well as the PGA Tour, we sometimes miss out on just how good this guy can be. Scott is only 27 and we think this weekend is where it all starts.

Lee Westwood 15/1 at Bodoglife.com
Westwood is another guy that definitely has what it takes to win this weekend. Westwood is currently 3rd on the European Tour with 6 top 5 performances in just 8 events this season. Westwood is also making noise on the PGA Tour where he has finished tied for 11th at the Masters and just finished 3rd at the US Open a few weeks back.

There is plenty to like in these 4 guys when you are thinking about winning the tournament this weekend, and if you feel that you have that guy picked out head over to Bodoglife.com and get an account up an going today.

The Field ( Any Other Golfer) 5/2

Sergio Garcia – 8/1 odds at Sportsbook.com
Garcia had the lead for nearly the entire tournament last year as he opened with a 6 under on day 1 and had it up to 9 under for a 3 shot lead over the next best. His collapse on Sunday caused him to miss out on his first major win of his career. This year he comes in as the favorite to take home the trophy, and his play as of late might be the reason why. He won the Players Championship and has played pretty well since. We really like what we are seeing in Garcia, and he has a great chance to win this weekend if he can show he has what it takes to deal with the pressure.

Phil Mickelson – 12/1 odds at Sportsbook.com
Mickelson has yet to play since the US Open and that has us a little concerned about his game heading into the British Open. Mickelson has really only played well at the Open once in his career as he finished 3rd in 2004. So if you are thinking just because Tiger is not in the field that Mickelson should have it in the bag, we would recommend that you think different. We look for Mickelson to be more of a force at the PGA Championship later this year.

Ernie Els – 121 odds at Sportsbook.com
Els just might be the most consistent golfer in this whole group when you start talking about past performances at this tournament. Els has only won the event 1 time in his career, but has 9 other top 10 finishes in his career at the Open. Els won it all back in 2002, and finished strong last year for a tie for 4th.

Padraig Harrington – 15/1 odds at Sportsbook.com
Harrington came out firing last year to come all the way from 6 shots back to take home the 2007 British Open Championship. Harrington used Garcia’s stumble to his advantage as he threw out a 4 under 67 to get himself in position to win the tournament. Though he needed a playoff to win the event, it was easily his best finish in any major event, and makes him a real threat to come out and repeat as the Open Champion.

Lee Westwood – 15/1 odds at Sportsbook.com
Westwood joins Garcia as the only other golfer in this group that has yet to take home a major victory throughout his career. Westwood really doesn’t have that good of history at the British Open as his really only good finished came back in 2004 where he finished 4th, but other than that since 2000 his best finish is a tie for 31st. We are thinking the only reason this guy has this good of odds is his 11th place finish at the Masters and his most recent 3rd place finish at the US Open, but if you want our opinion don’t risk anything on this guy winning the Open this year.
