Fairway Life in Las Vegas

Las Vegas, Nevada (June 21, 2011)--Las Vegas PGA Tour golf betting expert Jeff Sherman says that the letdown the week following a major can normally hurt a player's chances. But that the let-down effect might be much smaller this week at the PGA Tour's Travelers Championship. In the official Las Vegas golf betting odds, Hunter Mahan opened up as a 12/1 favorite to win. --By Brian Hurlburt, odds by Jeff Sherman.

Las Vegas, Nevada (June 14, 2011)--It may go without saying, but Las Vegas PGA Tour golf betting expert Jeff Sherman says bet on golfers who you think will be accurate at the 2011 U.S. Open.

Las Vegas, Nevada (June 7, 2011)--According to Las Vegas PGA Tour golf betting expert Jeff Sherman, the last event where PGA Tour pros can qualify for the U.S. Open is always an interesting one to handicap. There are usually several players with a chance to improve their World Ranking into the Top 50 thus earning a coveted spot in the national championship. For instance, a player like Sergio Garcia who is currently not in the Open but a good finish at the FedEx St. Jude Classic could get him in the field. --By Brian Hurlburt, Odds By Jeff Sherman.

Las Vegas, Nevada (May 31, 2011)--It will be a battle of the giants at The Memorial Tournament presented by Nationwide Insurance. This PGA Tour tournament, hosted by Jack Nicklaus, always attracts a deep field and 2011 is no different. And according to Las Vegas' GolfOdds.com, a highlighted golf betting matchup features two of the world's hottest golfers, Luke Donald and Nick Watney (who lives in the Las Vegas Golf Region). --By Brian Hurlburt, odds by Jeff Sherman.

Las Vegas, Nevada (May 24, 2011)--Nick Watney is the man once again, at least to the Las Vegas PGA Tour betting experts. He was released at 15/1 to win the HP Byron Nelson Championship and leads the odds along with KJ Choi, Dustin Johnson, and Jason Day. The odds were released by Las Vegas' GolfOdds.com. --By Brian Hurlburt, Odds by Jeff Sherman.

Las Vegas, Nevada (May 17, 2011)--Jeff Sherman, the founder of Las Vegas' GolfOdds.com, says there is a trend happening when it comes to PGA Tour betting in 2011. The public is wagering on golfers who have a solid history on a course rather than betting on recent performance. And for this week's Crowne Plaza Invitational, Sherman says two horses for the course are Pat Perez and Zach Johnson.--By Brian Hurlburt, odds by Jeff Sherman.

Las Vegas, Nevada (May 10, 2011 UPDATE 5/11)--Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods have had several battles on the course, but now, according to Las Vegas' GolfOdds.com founder Jeff Sherman, they are about to have a battle at the Las Vegas golf betting window. Already this year, both have been prohibitive favorites when match-upped against each other, something rarely seen. But they opened pick 'em against each other for the 2011 The PLAYERS. That should make for a tantalizing showdown for the PGA Tour golf betting public this week. According to the experts, a little bit more money was coming in on Tiger but not enough to move the price.--By Brian Hurlburt, Odds by Jeff Sherman.

Las Vegas, Nevada (May 3, 2011)--With his recent showing at The Masters plus being the defending champion at the Wells Fargo Championship, it might seem like Rory McIlroy should be the Las Vegas golf betting odds favorite. But, alas, Phil Mickelson leads the betting odds, released at 10/1 to win by Las Vegas' GolfOdds.com. Rory Mc is 12/1 followed by Martin Kaymer at 15/1. While Mc won in 2010, Mickelson also has decent history at this tournament. --By Brian Hurlburt, Odds by Jeff Sherman

Las Vegas, Nevada (April 26, 2011)--Luke Donald had the world's top ranking within a five-foot putt but couldn't capitalize at the recent The Heritage. Donald missed his birdie try on the 16th hole and eventually lost to Brandt Snedeker in a playoff. And along with it his claim to the top posittion in the World Golf Ranking that would have been his if he won. But Donald still heads the Las Vegas PGA Tour golf betting odds at 10/1 to win the Zurich Classic of New Orleans.
