US Open 2012 Odds Have Tiger Woods at 6 to 1

US Open 2012 odds had Tiger Woods as the favorite at 6/1, Rory McIlroy at 11/1, Lee Westwood at 11/1, Luke Donald at 12/1 and Phil Mickelson at 16/1.  All betting odds were courtesy of Bookmaker, the name you’ve trusted in sports betting since 1985. 

With Woods recent success at the Memorial tournament two weeks ago in Dublin, Ohio., the former world number one was once again expected to see some decent betting action come his way.

"I'm excited because of the way I hit the golf ball," Woods told reporters following that win.

"Every shot was exactly the shape, the trajectory, the distance control. I had it all, shape off tees, whatever club I wanted to hit, I could hit. That was fun to have it when I needed it.

You can look at the history of guys who were in contention or who ended up winning there, all were wonderful drivers of the golf ball and good, solid iron players," he said.

"That's what it's going to take at Olympic, more so than most U.S. Open sites."

Woods 6/1 price is about double what we would have seen coming into this event three years ago.

McIlroy, who won his third PGA Tour title at the Honda Classic in March, enjoyed an eight-shot victory in last year's U.S. Open.  At 11/1 odds of winning this year's US Open, McIlroy seems to have some great value. 

McIlroy tied for seventh at this past Sunday's St. Jude Classic golf event. 

"I felt pretty good," the 23-year-old Northern Irishman said after squandering a chance of victory with a double-bogey on the final hole. "I had a great chance to win this week, and it didn't quite happen.

"But I can take a lot of positives from this week. I feel like I'm well prepared going into the U.S. Open."
