2015 Futures
Posted by Todd on Aug 13, 2014 in Golf
We just crowned our final major champion of 2014 but that doesn’t stop oddsmakers from looking towards next year. The Masters is a major betting event on the golf calendar, largely because the futures prices will sit on the betting board from now until Mid-April. A quick glance at the opening numbers don’t indicate major surprises with Rory “don’t call me Tiger” McIlroy leading the charge. However it’s his 5-1 price that’s eye popping compared to the 10-1 he went off at before this year’s event. Little to say the recent run of dominance from the ultra talented 25 year old has his weekly odds approaching prices like we grew accustomed to with Tiger in his prime (I said approaching, far from the same). Numbers never lie and these futures tell a definite story about his recent surge
