The United Kingdom’s leading bookmakers are offering a wide selection of 2009 PGA Championship betting markets for the duration of the tournament, with many offering additional betting specials.

Outright Winner

Most golf fans will want to start their 2009 PGA Championship betting in the outright winner betting markets. Bookmakers have unanimously elected Tiger Woods as the tournament favourite following his back-to-back victories in the run-up to the 2009 PGA Championship, and the world number one is trading around the 7/4 mark on most sportsbooks.

While Woods' legion of fans will no doubt be happy to back him at these odds, there's better value to be had lower down the outright betting markets, with the likes of Padraig Harrington and Phil Mickelson both priced over the 10/1 mark, and therefore value each-way betting selections. An each way bet on either player is guaranteed to generate a decent payout if they oblige by finishing in the top five at the tournament.

If you're planning on betting on the 2009 PGA Championship outright betting markets you won't want to miss out on Paddy Power's extra place special for the tournament. This great deal offers extra value on each-way and place bets, with these bets paying out to 6th place.

Great Opportunities

For example golf fans can bet on which player from a specific nation or region will trump his compatriots at the 2009 PGA Championship or alternately vote on which player will win a particular round of the tournament.

Once golf fans have backed their favourites in the outright betting markets, it's time to take a look at 3-ball betting opportunities. 3-ball betting is golf's answer to match betting, and allows fans to bet on a player in a 3-ball to come out on top after a round of golf at the 2009 PGA Championship. This betting option is about beating the bookies at their own game, and can be very rewarding for golf fans who know the ins-and-outs of player form and course conditions.
