Honda Classic Odds: Mcllroy and Casey Betting Favorites

Many of the top golfers in the world will be in Palm Beach, Florida this week in Honda Classic odds. There are four golf tournaments in Florida this month including next week’s CA Championship at Doral so the top players in the world want to be ready. Y.E. Yang is the defending champion but he is not the favorite to win this week. There are actually three golf betting favorites at online sportsbooks to win the Honda Classic. Rory McIlroy, Paul Casey and Robert Allenby are each 16-1 with Lee Westwood 18-1.

Don’t expect to see a lot of low scores this week as the Champion Course at PGA National is a difficult course. In fact, it was ranked as the seventh hardest course on the PGA Tour last year. Yang won last year, shooting 9-under par and that was the lowest score since the event moved to PGA National. Yang is 28-1 in golf odds to defend his title. He is not without a chance as he played very well in last week’s Phoenix Open. Last year when he came to the Honda Classic he was ranked 460th in the world. He took the lead in the second round and beat John Rollins by one shot for the victory.

"It has a sweet place in my heart," Yang said about the Honda. "It will always be my first [PGA Tour win]." Paul Casey is one of the betting favorites at 16-1 in Honda Classic odds and he is playing as well as anyone. He lost in the Accenture Match Play Championship to Ian Poulter but Casey’s game is in fine form. He leads the tour in greens in regulation and that will be a key stat this week. Ernie Els won this event two years ago and he is 20-1 in golf odds with Camilo Villegas and Padraig Harrington at 25-1.

If you are looking for a longshot to win this week in Honda Classic odds you might want to take a shot with Steve Marino. He has a fourth and a fifth place finish this season and he is one of the leaders in greens in regulation. He is 40-1 in golf betting odds at online sportsbooks. There are number of options on the golf betting board in Honda Classic odds. In addition to odds to win the event, sportsbooks have match-ups, Top 4, Top European and even Top 10.
