Nice to see Seamus Power on the leaderboard.

Was in the bookies yesterday with a free €5 bet to spend. With this weekend being fairly shite for sport, I put it on Seamus to win at 25/1

I was watching a bit of that and had it on in the background for longer. I saw every fucking golfer in the top 12 multiple times. Not one shot of Power. It was like they were boycotting him.

Is that right. I haven’t been watching any amount of golf in months. Need to get some reps in before the masters!!!

Well, he's 45, and was a talented player in college, whose own mental game in Golf crumbled a bit under pressure. Researching this, "accidentally" led to the career he has now, and a very successful one at that. But now, I suppose, he's getting that itch to try and fulfill his golf dream before it really is too late.

2024 Golf Goals & Season Plan - Jared Tendler

Having clearly defined goals is really important for me. With all that I’m trying to juggle in my life, if I want a chance to reach the heights in golf that I aspire to, I need clarity on what I’m trying to improve on this season. I don’t have the luxury of wasting time – […]

Texas Houston Open tomorrow.

With Scheffler at 3.7 on Betfair he's the shortest price golfer outright in a tournament in the last 5 years (...and maybe beyond), so I'm looking for value elsewhere.

Scottie Scheffler is making history with his insanely low odds to win the Houston Open

Scottie Scheffler's outright odds this week in Houston are almost laughable

Na m8, Tiger regularly went off at odds on at his peak, as short as 4/7 IIRC, and defo odds on for some of the majors too.

He was on a different plane altogether though.

Is Tiger the 'dead cert' that the bookies think he is?

www.golfmagic.com

Seven of Tiger's 15 major wins can at odds of 2-1 or shorter.

I'm almost certain he was shorter for some, but maybe the years are playing tricks on me!!

Knew I was right (as usual), -125 in 2007 for the masters.

He lost.

I did say "in the last 5 years...and maybe beyond", as opposed to "ever"

The stats that one particular site had only went back to 2019.

As good as Scheffler is I'd be very nervous backing him at "Tiger odds" given his putter can really let him down at times.
