Graeme McDowell is 22/1 for the Indian Masters with Paddy Power

Golf betting: Indian Masters preview
06-Feb-2008

Unless Tiger Woods is playing it's never easy to predict golfing outcomes at the best of times. That task becomes even tougher when an event is on for the first time and the Indian Masters could well go to a local lad this week.

Rose to break hoodoo?
09-Aug-2007

There hasn't been a European winner of the USPGA Championship since 1930 but if anyone can break the hoodoo it is England's very own Justin Rose.

12/1 Els to tame Carnoustie
17-Jul-2007

For the past eight years, Carnoustie has conjured up images of brutality. When The Open was last there in 1999, the set-up was deemed "unfair" by the world's top golfers, but what it lacked in fairness, it made up for in drama, with Jean Van de Velde letting a three-shot lead slip on the 18th hole after a paddle in the Barry Burn.

Leftie to make amends
14-Jun-2007

Last season’s US Open at Mamaroneck in New York is remembered for who didn’t win rather than the eventual champion Aussie Geoff Ogilvy as two stars of the game resorted to weekend hackers as the pressure built on the final day.
