2008 PGA Tour Deutsche Bank Championship Odds


August 25, 2008 | Posted By Larry Cook

What a great start to the 2008 PGA Playoffs, as Vijay Singh was able to hold off Sergio Garcia in a playoff to win the Barclays. With that win Singh jumped to the top of the FedEX cup leaderboard, as did runner up Garcia who now sits in second. The playoffs continue this week, but not before 24 players hang it up this season, as the field is now down to 120. This week the field heads to TPC of Boston for the 2008 Deutsche Bank Championship. The current defending champion Phil Mickelson good really use a solid weekend of play, as he now sits 4th in th FedEX Cup ranks. To get a good idea of the field this weekend, professional handicapper Jason Lowry is going to break down the field into the favorites, guys in the middle of the pack, and the longs shots he thinks has a chance this weekend.

Favorites: Phil Mickelson +800, Sergio Garcia +900, Vijay Singh +1200, and Padraig Harrington +1800
While Garcia and Singh stole the show out of this group, Mickelson comes in as the leading favorite to win this weekend, and its hard to argue with the guy holding the trophy from a year ago. Harrington really had a let down after winning both the majors, as he failed to even make the cut last weekend. Mickelson played well last weekend finishing 19th, but will have to play better this weekend. We are expecting all 4 of these golfers to put on a great show this weekend.

Middle of the Pack: Jim Furyk +2500, Paul Casey +2800, Anthony Kim +2800, Adam Scott +3300, Steve Stricker +3300, Robert Allenby +3300, Mike Weir +3300, Kenny Perry +3500, Ernie Els +3500, Justin Leonard +3500, and Camilo Villegas
This group is full of talent, and Scott is the only guy who has won this tournament before. Both Stricker and Villegas are coming off top 10 performances here a year ago, but keep an eye on Weir, Leonard, and Casey who all finished in the top 10 last week. We think Els and Furyk are two guys you always have to consider as threats, and Kim just might being the surprise of this group.

Long Shots: Andres Romero +4000, Retief Goosen +4000, Geoff Ogilvy +4000, Rory Sabbatini +4000, Ben Curtis +4000, Stewart Cink +4500, K.J. Choi +4500, Sean O’Hair +5000, Hunter Mahan +6600, and Boo Weekley +6600
Though there is little expectations for this group to win this weekend, but O’Hair, Oglivy, and Sabbatini did play well here a year ago. After shooting a great first round last week Mahan wasn’t able to keep it going, We think the guy with the best shot of winning out this group is Ben Curtis, who looked well finishing tied for 4th last week.
