Fairway Life in Las Vegas

Las Vegas, Nevada (March 29, 2011)--Some Las Vegas golf betting odds experts believe Phil Mickelson might be looking ahead to next week's Masters. Because of that, making a wager against him in individual matchups could be a good golf bet for the Shell Houston Open this week. Las Vegas' GolfOdds.com released Mickelson as -120 vs. Retief Goosen. In the overall Las Vegas golf betting odds to win, Lee Westwood and Matt Kuchar are 15/1 and the favorites. --By Brian Hurlburt, betting odds by Jeff Sherman.

Las Vegas, Nevada (March 22, 2011)--Tiger Woods was released by Las Vegas' GolfOdds.com as a prohibitive favorite to win the PGA Tour's Arnold Palmer Invitational. He is 8/1 to win while Dustin Johnson is 15/1 followed by Phil Mickelson, Hunter Mahan, and Graeme McDowell, who are each at 20/1. History gives an advantage to Tiger--he has won here six times, most recently in 2009--but his play of late would make it difficult to lay cash on him to win, especially at such a low number.

Las Vegas, Nevada (February 22, 2011)--It looks like Tiger Woods will be playing a full schedule on the PGA Tour in 2011, and following his PGA Tour Las Vegas golf betting odds should be nearly as interesting as watching him on the course. Last year, for the first time in a very long time, Tiger actually played in tournaments where he wasn't the betting favorite. And at this week's WGC--Accenture Match Play, Woods opens as a a 12/1 favorite to win, just ahead of Paul Casey, Martin Kaymer, and Rory McIlroy, each at 15/1.

Las Vegas, Nevada (February 15, 2011)--According to Jeff Sherman, the founder of Las Vegas' GolfOdds.com, those looking closely at the PGA Tour betting odds on a weekly basis believe that Mickeslon only has eyes for the majors. And that perception is reflected in moves of the individual matchup odds for Mickelson, who works with Las Vegas teacher Butch Harmon. Even so, the moves aren't as dramatic in the overall odds to win and Mickelson opened as the 8/1 favorite to win the PGA Tour's Northern Trust Open at Riviera Country Club. --By Brian Hurlburt

Las Vegas, Nevada (February 9, 2011)--Betting the favorites to win a PGA Tour golf tournament at long odds is one way to potentially win big cash, but the Las Vegas golf betting experts suggest that the way to make more consistent money is to play in the individual matchups that are offered on a weekly basis. This week, the 2011 AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am is being played at one of the matchups features two pros of Las Vegas' Butch Harmon going up against each other as Phil Mickelson is +110 vs. Dustin Johnson -130. --By Brian Hurlburt.

Las Vegas, Nevada (January 31, 2011)--We could scour the records and look for the data, but we believe we are safe in saying that there will be history made at the Waste Management Phoenix Open when it comes to the official PGA Tour betting odds as released by Las Vegas' GolfOdds.com. Who knows if we are correct, but it sure seems like this is the first time in the history of the betting odds that three golfers who work with the same teaching pro are the top three favorites on the big betting board. That honor goes to Phil Mickelson (8/1), Dustin Johnson (12/1), and Nick Watney (20/1) who each work with Las Vegas Golf Region resident Butch Harmon. --By Brian Hurlburt.
