After last weeks display I have now resorted to betting W/O Woods!!
VJ @ 14/1 is my top pick for this, started to get his act together again and if it wasn't for the disastrous 3rd round last week he should have won.
Having finished T3,T5,T36 & 2nd in his last 4 PGA Events, 14/1 for a top 6 finish is value.
My other pick is Ryuji Imada @ 50/1, one of the most in form players at the moment, 2-2nds and a 5th place in his last four starts. The only negative being this is his debut in this event, but worth a punt.  |

I'm going to follow the two i picked at the beginning of the year
Martin Kaymer - Clearly a quality golfer and finished second 1 shot behind woods a few weeks ago, missed the cut last week, but he owes me nothing from his 66/1 win at the beginning of the year so will take 80/1 without woods
K.J. Choi also, very talented golfer, just seems a little hit and miss, hoping he'll show up this week though
Some others i may have a look at are Stenson, Westwood, and Baddeley
Good luck everyone |

imada has played at doral twice..
Who cares about how many times hes played in the WGC if it wasn't on this course? That stat is meaningless..dont ya think? I do like your picks though..especially with imada wanting to get into the masters
Choi might be jetlagged..
I like Garcia.bads and casey this week  Graeme Mcdowell could be a longshot as well

| Adam Scott for me this weekend, most of my picks recently have been going the distance without ever really troubling the places, so here's hoping for a change of luck................ |

Imo Woods will win but I am not comfortable with the price.
So I am betting in the "without Woods" market. There are many that can be fighting. Vijay the most probable, Michelson the most evident. Garcia, Choi and Cabrera can never be excluded.
I betted for the later (EW) as his irregularities makes better odds.
I would have liked to see Bubba Watson here.
Also betted for Andrés Romero whose fluctuations are large but includes leading positions along 2007.
good luck

Afternoon fellas. Two for me this week.
A Baddeley - You may have guessed this selection seeing that I always back him. Quality player and has already pushed Tiger close in both stroke and matchplay in the past year. At 65/1 has solid credentials.
S Appleby - Three top ten finishes in his last three starts, played well in matchplay recently and at 66/1 is overly generous |

Typical,
I've done an e/w Lucky 15 covering the 4 tournaments
Brier @ 50/1 - Madeira
Baird @ 45/1 - Peurto Rico
Kang @ 40/1 - Asian
and it was a toss-up between Singh & Imada but I went for the "safe" option - Singh. 
With so many good scores being posted in the 1st round I think he will struggle to catch up.
Still cracking odds for Imada, mr tiper, good luck with your bet |

This tournament is shaping up nicely. Amazing round by Vijay. I wrote his career off.. seems like hes still got it
If Tiger can come back from this deficit with those names ahead of him.. |

Probably came at the right time for Tiger and wrong time for others.
Have to say Scott should be about 4 or 5 clear, he's missing some very holeable birdie chances and then bogeying holes he should just concentrate on getting par on.
Still there for me though, hope he stays on till Sunday evening........... |
