The tournament matchup wagers in the BetUS Sportsbook lack Tiger Woods, not profitable opportunities.

The BetUS odd makers have done a fantastic job, like they do every week, at putting together terrific golf betting wagers under the tournament matchup category. Below are a few of the better matchups to breakdown.

Let’s take a look at those right now.

Chevron World Challenge Tournament Matchups

  1. Lee Westwood -120 vs. Padraig Harrington -110 – - Westwood has been on fire lately winning the Portugal Masters in October and the Dubai World Championship in November. He’ll be looking to put together another victory in the Chevron but Paddy Harrington has always had more success than Lee in the United States. I suspect the same thing will happen and how often do gamblers get Harrington at better odds than his opponent in a tournament matchup.

    Pick: Padraig Harrington

  2. Steve Stricker -120 vs. Jim Furyk -110 – - Stricker is the new “best player other than Tiger” in the United States. He just made the cover of Golf Digest, but there’s a big different between Stricker and Furyk that gamblers should know about. When Stricker is on, he closes the deal. Furyk is always on but never closes the deal. What does Stricker do when he’s off? He has the tendency to finish out of the Top 10 and sometimes out of the Top 30. I expect Furyk to be on top of his game on this while I’m up in the air regarding Stricker who may have peaked already in 2009.

    Pick: Jim Furyk

  3. Zach Johnson -130 vs. Anthony Kim Ev – - The shine on Kim has sort of diminished some because he hasn’t won a tournament in 2009 but he’s from L.A. which means that he should have some knowledge of the Sherwood Course in Torrance. Johnson has two victories on the PGA Tour in 2009 and is ranked 4th on the money list. He appears to be coming into this very well. So, Johnson is the pick.

    Pick: Zach Johnson

  4. Lucas Glover -120 s. Justin Leonard -110 – - This one shouldn’t be close. Leonard has become strictly a Texas type player. When the native of Texas tees off in his own state, he seems to play well. When he doesn’t, he could end up out of the Top 50. Lucas Glover won the U.S. Open this year as well as finishing in the Top 25 in numerous events. Glover is the man to go with in this.

    Pick: Lucas Glover

  5. Paul Casey -110 vs. Kenny Perry -120 – - Casey should be over the injury that had him playing way below his usual level this past summer. Perry should have his game back as well after tailing off some. This is an intriguing matchup and gamblers could go either way, but Perry excels in these type of events and should do just enough to beat Casey. If gamblers do like Perry to beat Casey in this matchup, then they should think about betting Perry to win this entire tournament as his odds are a juicy +2000 right now in the sportsbook.

    Pick: Kenny Perry

  6. Sean O’Hair -115 vs. Martin Kaymer -115 – - Kaymer just isn’t being given the respect that he should in this matchup. O’Hair did win the Quail Hollow Championship, but Kaymer has won two tournaments in 2009 including The Barclays Scottish Open. Kaymer’s been awesome on the European Tour and should be able to take his game to Torrance.

    Pick: Martin Kaymer
