Group Betting on Golf - Transitions Championship

Bookmark and Share by D.S. Williamson

This weekend is the Transitions Championship. Phil Mickelson, Tiger Woods and Vijay Singh have all decided to skip this tournament.

That means that some very good golfers have a chance to win. But finding a winner in any golf tournament is always tough to do. Luckily, the BetUS sportsbook offers wagering on 72 Hole Group Betting.

By concentrating on finding a winner in a particular group, gamblers can increase their chances of winning profits.

Let’s analyze the groups in the Transitions Championship this week.

Golf: Transitions 72 Hole Group Betting

Group 1: Sean O’Hair, K.J +275, K.J. Choi +275, Kenny Perry +300, Steve Stricker +300, Zach Johnson +325

Analysis: Is there a more competitive group for the Transitions than Group A? Perry, Choi, O’Hair, who won the Transitions in 2008, Stricker and Johnson all have a shot. Perry finished tied for 9th in the WGC-CA last week against Tiger, Phil and Vijay. So, I’m taking him to win this group this week.

Pick: Kenny Perry at +300

Group 2: David Toms +285, Rod Pampling +300, Adam Scott +300, Tim Clark +300, Nick Watney +325

Analysis: Watney finished second to Mickelson, by a single stroke, in the WGC-CA. Unlike Perry, though, I don’t believe Watney necessarily keeps it going in this. I’m going to say that Adam Scott has a good shot, but I’m not willing to give him the benefit of the doubt with South African Tim Clark up there at +300. Clark finished 27th in the WGC-CA, but he’s made the cut in all 6 tournament he’s played in this year and he’s finished in the Top Ten in 2 of those. I like Clark.

Pick: Tim Clark at +300

Group 3: Mark Calcavecchia +285, Charley Hoffman +285, John Senden +300, Retief Goosen +300, Ryuji Imada +325

Analysis: This is a no-brainer to me. How can Retief not be favored in this group? Sure, he had a ridiculously bad WGC-CA but all that means is that he bounces back in this. Goosen has made the cut five times out of five this year and has a Top Ten finish. He should be able to take down all of his rivals in Group 3.

Pick: Retief Goosen at +300

Group 4: Bart Bryant +300, Ben Crane +285, Heath Slocum +300, Bryan Gay +285, Matt Goggin +320.

Analysis: This is a tough group to find the winner because none of these gays are playing exceptionally well. I’m going to take a flyer and go with Goggin because of the odds. At least Goggin has made 4 cuts out of 6 tournaments and has a Top Ten finish to his credit. Crane has done better with 2 Top Ten finishes, but I don’t think the lower odds are justified. I’ll ride with Goggin in this group.

Pick: Matt Goggin at +320
