The Players Championship Tips

THE PLAYERS Championship - TPC Sawgrass, Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla.

04 May 2015 - 10 May 2015

Tip date: 04 May 2015

This week’s stop on the PGA Tour is what most people regard as the fifth Major – The Players Championship. This event features one of the strongest fields of the year and is always played at TPC Sawgrass in Florida. This is an extremely tricky course and features the famous par 3 17th hole with its island green. This combined with the treacherous 18th makes for an extremely demanding finish – many hopes have found a watery grave over the years! It’s a 7200 yard par 72 and length off the tee seems to offer no real advantage but accuracy from the fairway is a significant advantage. The Bermuda greens are very small and extremely fast. Martin Kaymer won in 2014.

Name	Odds	Bookmaker
Sergio Garcia	2pt each way 33-1	BetFred 1/4 ODDS TOP SIX	Returned 18.5pts for 2 place finish! Back Sergio Garcia Again
We’re going for a Sawgrass specialist in Sergio Garcia this week. He’s not often available at this price but his Players record speaks for itself. He won in 2008, hasn’t missed a cut in twelve years and is T8-T3 for his last two visits. He’s in decent cut making form at the moment and should be up there once again this week.
Paul Casey	2pt each way 45-1	BetFred 1/4 ODDS TOP SIX	Finishing position: WD Back Paul Casey Again
Paul Casey is at the top of his game at the moment and looks likely to contend every time he tees it up. He’s had a string of high finishes and a win looks to be on the cards. He had a good run at the WGC last week and is coming into the Players with some significant momentum. He’s got a so-so Sawgrass record but has posted T10 and T14 and we’re banking on his good form continuing this week.
Lee Westwood	2pt each way 50-1	BetFred 1/4 ODDS TOP SIX	Finishing position: MC Back Lee Westwood Again
Lee Westwood is playing some decent stuff at the moment. He won the Indonesian Masters a couple of weeks agoand has also knocked Jordan Spieth out of the WGC last week. He’s also got a very solid Sawgrass record and rewarded our followers with a T6 last year. He’s looking more relaxed these days and we see no reason why he cannot continue his good recent form this week.
