Online Golf Betting – 2006 Review
2006 saw Blue Square offer online golf betting odds on all of the Major tournaments and Tour events. Fears of a one man domination of golf by Tiger Woods were quickly laid to rest, and made for an interesting year for online golf betting punters.
Having won the last major of 2005, the USPGA Championship, Phil Mickelson was in good form going into the first of 2006, the US Masters. Golf betting fans that believed he could continue this form into 2006 were rewarded as he went on to victory and along with it the possibility that 2006 might see Tiger Woods not being the pre-tournament favourite with online sports betting bookmakers in upcoming tournaments.
In the second major of the year, the US Open, Mickelson looked set to take his third Major in a row (having also won the final Major of 2005). Tiger Woods had missed the cut, and Mickelson went to the final tee needing a Par to secure victory. However this time, those who had bet on him to win were left disappointed, with Geoff Ogilvy taking the title after Mickelson hit his ball into the tented village and took a double-bogey six; we could again expect to see Tiger listed as favourite with the online golf betting bookmakers.
The final Majors of the year, the Open and the USPGA Championship, saw Tiger Woods return to dominance and re-assert himself as the man at the top of the list on leader boards and online golf betting sites alike. However, unfortunately for Tiger he and his compatriots were unable to carry their dominance of the Majors into success at the Ryder Cup, A European win in Ireland finally giving UK online golf bettors who had persistently bet on their countrymen something to smile about.
Blue Square will be covering all of the Majors and Tour events in 2007 so if you think Tiger will continue to dominate, or see a new challenger to him, why not bet on golf online with Blue Square.
