Golf Betting Tips – The Players Championship 2016

Sawgrass which is real shot-makers course where the best players usually rise to the top of the leaderboard. Length off the tee is not a major requirement, good mid-iron players will prosper and it’s a must to be able to scramble as the greens are small and ultra-fast. The island green at 17 is a real card wrecker, as Sergio Garcia will testify. The Spaniard took 7 at the Par 3 in 2013 to lose the tournament he looked certain to win.

The Players Championship Golf Tip

Sergio Garcia 25/1 E/W Stan James

He’s not a player who I generally like to tip, due to him chucking chances away like confetti, but he just stands out with such an excellent record around here. He’s a past winner, has come close on a few occasions and has had seven top fifteen finishes in the last ten years. This course just fits his eye and plays to his strengths of straight driving, a cracking mid-iron game and the imagination and talent to excel at those fiendish chips around the green. I was quite struck how well he played in spells in the Spanish Open, where the Valderrama is a little like Sawgrass in so much that the correct positions of the fairways and the greens have to be reached to make a score. He such a good ball striker, he will have no problem doing that, and seven places this week is a no-brainer this week for the second tip.
