The 2008 Ryder Cup betting will begin on Friday from Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky with Day 1 matches will be televised on ESPN starting at 8:00am EST. Ryder Cup matches on the weekend will be aired on NBC starting at 8:00am EST.

Ryder Cup odds are available and the Europeans -130 are once again favored over the United States since winning the tournament in 2004 and 2006.

Although the United States is 4-3 in the last seven Ryder Cups, the Europeans have won 8 of the last 11 matches.

A major contributor to the Europeans success in Ryder Cup betting odds has been Sergio Garcia. Garcia -110 is 14-4-2 in Ryder Cup play and will be paired with Jim Furyk +150 in Ryder Cup match up odds at BetUS sportsbook.

The walk down the 18th fairway this time was a little sweeter for Padraig Harrington as we won his second consecutive British Open title. Harrington held a four-shot lead going to the 18th before hoisting the oldest trophy in golf at one of the most prestigious tournaments in the world, again.

Along the way Harrington stopped to share the moment with newlywed Greg Norman who at age 53 was turning heads staying atop of the leader board for most of the tournament.

That was until the par-3 12th when he missed a 10-foot par putt and Poulter made a 15-foot birdie on the 16th to take the lead.

Fresh off his marriage to tennis legend Chris Evert, the Shark went into the final round of the British Open with a two-shot lead but couldn’t hold on making numerous bogeys and closing with a 77 taking third in the British Open.

Golf odds have Phil Mickelson and Kenny Perry favored this weekend. The catch is that they are playing in different tournaments.

Mickelson is the golf betting favorite for the Scottish Open while Perry is the golf betting favorite in the John Deere Classic.

The Scottish Open is a tuneup for the British Open next week. With Tiger Woods out of the picture for a while, Mickelson is the logical golf betting favorite.

The Scottish Open has a strong field this weekend as Ernie Els, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Adam Scott, Lee Westwood and Henrik Stenson are all part of the field.

Most of the top players in the world look at the Scottish Open as a good test before next week’s British Open. "Part of getting ready for next week is performing well this week, hitting shots sharply and crisply, being prepared for this week," said Mickelson.

Like a Hollywood movie star, 23-year-old Anthony Kim stepped up to the tee with confidence on Sunday in the AT&T National golf tournament decked out in an outfit complete with a bright pink polo and diamond-studded “AK” belt buckle.

Going into the final round, Kim sat three shots behind the lead but then ripped off consecutive birdies at the turn to close the tournament with a 5-under 65 and slice a two shot victory over Fredrik Jacobson at Congressional.

Jacobson seemed to be out of the mix early when a double bogey set him back but then refocused, nailed four straight birdies and looked to be in contention.

However trouble off the tee and landing in the bunker on the 18th, forced him to turn in a final day 65 at the AT&T National golf tournament. Kim on the other hand drained a 6-foot birdie on the par-3 seventh to reach 9 under and then hit a wedge within 8 feet of the cup to birdie No. 9 for the outright lead.
