PGA Champions Tour
- 2007 Bank of America Championship odds
Curtis Strange will be making
his first PGA Champions Tour appearance this week at the Bank of
America Championship.
Nick
Price, one of the newest players on the Champions Tour and also
a World Golf Hall of Fame member, will be making his first
appearance in the event, as well. Others making their first
stops in this event will be Chip Beck, Tim Simpson, Kenny Knox,
Massy Kuramoto, Scott Simpson and David Edwards. The Bank of
America Championship is the fourth-oldest event on the Champions
Tour.
According to the online bookmaker
Bodog Sports, Jay Haas is the
favorite to win the Bank of America Championship this year with
odds at 5/1. The St. Louis native turned pro in 1976 and has
played 796 PGA Tour events in his career, winning 9 of them and
finishing 143 times in the top ten. Jay Haas won last year's
Charles Schwab Cup and leads Denis Watson by 335 points in the
Charles Schwab Cup race at the halfway point in the season.
Brad Bryant comes second on the bookie's
betting list with odds to win at 12/1. Both Jay Haas (Liberty
Mutual Legends of Golf) and Brad Bryant (Regions Charity
Classic) repeated as winners of their respective events. That's
the most players to defend a title in the first half of a season
on the Champions Tour since three players successfully defended
events in the first half of the 2000 campaign. Last year at the
halfway mark, no players had defended titles.
Here are the top ten contenders for the
2007 Bank of America PGA Championship Tour by betting odds:
Jay Haas
5/1
