Tiger was appalled when British boxing fans jeered the Star Spangled Banner...
Tiger Woods hosts the ninth annual Target World Challenge at the Sherwood Country Club in Thousand Oaks, California. Tiger heads a strong 16-man field that features half of the world’s top-20 players. The $5.75 million event benefits his Tiger Woods Foundation and has a first prize of $1.35 million. Here’s whom I’m backing to win the loot…
Tiger Woods @ 6/4 with Coral: Current champion Woods has won this event on three occasions, finished runner-up twice and is unsurprisingly a short priced favourite this time around. The newly crowned PGA Tour Player of the year is refreshed after a two-month break from competitive golf and is likely to add to his seven tournament wins here.
Padraig Harrington @ 12/1 with Paddy Power: Harrington has an excellent Sherwood record and is third on the event’s all-time money list. He won in 2002, finished runner-up in 2004 and came third in both 2003 and 2005. His price represents obvious value for a player with a proven tournament record.
Rory Sabbatini @ 20/1 with William Hill: The in-form South African and notorious Tiger-baiter also represents good value. Sabbatini makes his debut in this event following a great year on the PGA Tour where he posted six top three finishes and placed in the play-off standings for the FedExCup.
