Online golf betting is growing in popularity as more and more people have become interested in playing and watching the game.

Broadly speaking, there are two main 2008 US PGA Championship betting options. The first is to pick your favourite golfer – the one you think will win the 2008 US PGA Championship. The second is where you have one golfer pitched against another on the golf betting odds board.

Betting on the winner

This first option means you choose the golfer you think will win the US PGA Championship. Undoubtedly the most popular, golf odds will be anywhere from 2-1 up to 100-1 or more and will depend on who the player is. A front runner like Tiger Woods is likely to have lower odds (as a top favourite to win) than a long-shot win which will have higher odds.

If you are betting on the 2008 US PGA Championship winner, make sure you've checked on past winners and read some of the player profiles. Make sure you've done your research into player and their particular skills on certain courses.

Pitching golfer against golfer

Picking the 2008 US PGA Championship winner is not necessarily easy which is why other betting options might be more appealing. Instead of predicting the tournament winner, 2008 US PGA Championship betting lines where evenly matched golfers are pitted against each other are growing in popularity. One example is backing one partner against the other to shoot a lower score – an example of a two-ball bet.
