April 10 - Phil Mickelson won his second green jacket and third golf major yesterday with an easy two-shot victory in the Masters. Tiger Woods, Retief Goosen, and Vijay Singh were all within striking distance going into the final round but none could muster a significant challenge. South Africa's Tim Clark finished second while Fred Couples had the best opportunities to challenge Mickelson, but faltered down the home stretch.
It was a good result for the 'bookies as online sportsbooks reported plenty of betting interest for Tiger Woods to capture back-to-back titles. Sports betting enthusiasts can now look forward to the 2006 PGA and the 2006 British Open.
Betting for these golf majors is now available at Bet365.com, an online casino and sportsbook, and the odds on Phil Mickelson winning a second major are very generous. He is 8/1 to win the US PGA, and no less than 12/1 to win the British Open.
The betting favorite for both those events remains Tiger Woods, and although Phil Mickelson is clearly the second-best golfer in the world today and challenging Tiger strongly for the #1 spot, it is Woods who will continue to dominate golf betting for years to come.
