For golf betting buffs there are few competitions if any in the world that can rival the excitement of the US Open Gambling experience.

Grand Slam competitions and especially the US Open odds contest seem to tower above the rest in terms of quality and contest, though there are several golf betting competitions each week of the year. Devoted golf betting buffs wait for months at a time for these competitions to come around and at last, the 2010 US Open betting action is here.

On Thursday morning, it’ll be just about as close to heaven on earth as most golf betting buffs will get when the best golfers on earth round up at Pebble Beach to tee off in the 116th US Open odds competition.

This season you will see a bit of extra drama once the US Open betting gets going as Tiger Woods, the #1 rated golfer in the community will be the fave in the US Open odds, and much more looked at and under the media lens than usual after the tumultuous turn his private life has taken in the past six months.

Woods has only taken part in a few tournaments since Thanksgiving ’09 and he has not looked amazing in any of them. In fact, he failed to finish consecutive tournaments for the first time in his golf betting career and has concluded well out of the money in his most recent competitions. No one actually knows how he’ll perform when the US Open betting competition gets going ahead. He’s also parted ways with his long time swing guru.

But Tiger has established over and over that nobody plays as hard as he does and that nobody has a bigger heart than he does. And with the 2010 US Open betting competition set to get underway in just a few days you would be insane to bet vs Woods.

Nonetheless, there are lots of other skilled competitors in the US Open odds this year as well. Phil Mickelson, Community #2 and the best player on the Tour at this time, has concluded 2nd in the US Open betting competition a record 4 times but has never sealed the deal. Watch for him to be especially amazing at Pebble Beach and be in the hunt on Sunday. Ernie Els is an additional dark horse and Major winner who’s paid his dues and might make a big run in the golf betting as well.

Els’ is looking for his 3rd US Open title while he keeps one eye on the FIFA World Cup, where his home country of South Africa is competing. The inspiration he’s feeling right now for his country’s chances in the World Cup just might carry over to his playing in the US Open.

But at the end of the day, Tiger remains the man to conquer in this year’s US Open betting, especially considering the complexity of the course and the way he played previous time the US Open odds competition was held here.
