Golf Betting - 2007 AT&T National

The PGA Tour stops this week at Congressional Country Club, site of the AT&T National hosted by Tiger Woods, who is returning after the birth of his daughter. The world No. 1 will have a busy weekend in Washington, D.C., mixing the roles of host and favorite to win as he attempts to hold off a difficult field featuring most of the world's top golfers.

Woods is favored at +276 odds at Pinnacle, but he could be a bit rusty since he has had more pressing matters since the birth of Sam Alexis. As it stands, Jack Nicklaus is the only host to ever win his own tournament and he can attest to the strains of balancing two strenuous tasks. Jim Furyk is listed at +1114 odds, and he is coming off a strong performance last weekend at the Buick Open in which he finished T-5.

Vijay Singh is battling a nagging elbow injury, but is still rated at +1422 as he has been the season's most consistent player. If Singh's putter gets hot, he can rack up birdies with the best of them. Phil Mickelson comes in at +1443, and the world No. 2 says he is fully recovered from a wrist injury which caused him to miss the cut at the U.S. Open. Mickelson was playing well before his injury despite still having some trouble with the driver, but his excellent iron game always gives him a chance to win a tournament.

Adam Scott is set at +1869, and the Australian has played well in the past at Congressional but needs to shake off the effects of a missed cut at Oakmont. Justin Rose is a tantalizing dark horse candidate at +2303, as the Englishman ranks fifth on the tour in putting.
