Following a dramatic British Open, golf betting Odds is spread out over three notable tournaments this week. Staying with the action across the pond, the European Tour is at the Barsebäck Golf & Country Club for the SAS Masters in Sweden.
Henrik Stenson is the sportsbook favorite at +700 win to outright. The native of Sweden is currently 16th on the European Tour and has made the cut in six of his eight starts this season. Outside of missing the cut at the St. Jude Classic, Stenson has been on fire in recent tournaments. He finished tied for 13th at the British Open, placed ninth at the U.S. Open, and won The PLAYERS Championship back in May.
Soren Kjeldsen and Soren Hansen are both priced at +1100 for the SAS Masters. Hansen was strong in the final round at the British Open. He fired a score of 67 and wound up tied for eighth. Kjeldsen also had a solid showing at the Open Championship. He finished tied for 27th with a 69 on the final day.
Above the border, the RBC Canadian Open welcomes some of the world's top players to Glen Abbey Golf Club in Oakville, Ontario. The course has a par score of 71 and stretches 7,320 total yards.
Fan favorite Camilo Villegas is priced at +1400 for this week's event. He's posted three Top 10 finishes this season and is currently 13th in the world golf rankings. Villegas hasn't missed a cut since March and is coming off a 13th-place performance at the British Open. Last year he placed tied for 53rd at Glen Abbey with a score of one-under par.
Also coming in as a +1400 favorite is Retief Goosen. The notable South African had a strong effort at the Open Championship, finishing tied for fifth after firing a final round 72. Goosen has three Top 10 placings this season and is currently 16th on the money earnings list. He shot a five-under par in last year's Canadian Open and finished tied for 30th.
Host Mike Weir is listed at +1600 to win the Canadian Open. The native of Sarnia, Ontario has never won his country's top tournament and finished tied for fifth in 2008. This year, Weir is 27th in the world rankings. He had a disappointing showing at the Open Championship and missed the cut after shooting a second-round 78. Outside of the British, Weir has been steady in recent tournaments and has placed 16th or better in four of his last seven events.
The LPGA European Tour is in Évian-les-Bains, France for the Evian Masters. This tuneup for the Women's British Open draws not only the top talents in Europe but also many North American players.
One of those players crossing the pond is Lorena Ochoa, who is priced as a +500 favorite to win the Evian Masters outright. The Mexican currently sits sixth on the LPGA money list and has made the cut in all 11 events this season. Ochoa has two tournament wins this year and recently finished tied for 26th at the Women's U.S. Open.
Another North American talent heading to France is American Paula Creamer, who is listed at +800. Creamer is one of the most accurate players on the LPGA Tour and is currently sitting eighth on the money list. She was dealing with an injured thumb earlier this summer, which forced her to withdraw from the Wegmans LPGA in late June. However, Creamer did bounce back with a strong showing at the U.S. Open. She shot a final round 69 to tie for sixth for her sixth Top 10 finish of the season.
