WGC-American Express Championship

September 28 –October 1.06.


This event, held at The Grove in Hertfordshire, England, has a purse of $7.5 million and is part of the World Golf Championships rotation. Last year, Tiger Woods defeated John Daly on the second playoff hole, Woods' sixth victory of 2005. Woods finished at 10-under 270 to earn $1.3 million. This year will be the first time that England has hosted one of the World Golf Championships since the series of began in 1999. With this coming the week after the Ryder Cup, expect one of the final strong fields of the year. Woods has won this event four times and will be the overwhelming sportsbook favorite for golf bettors. With the course in England this year, expect some European players to have decent odds, such as Sergio Garcia and Colin Montgomerie. And Fiji's Vijay Singh always seems to be in the hunt in these events when considering your bets.
