The build up to the 2014 Masters continues this week with the PGA Valero Texas Open betting. This is a popular tournament but betting on it will probably fall to a select few at the top of the field. Big Phil Mickelson is looking to get in peak form ahead of August and he is trading at a price of 16/1 which puts him as joint outright favourite in Valero Texas Open betting alongside Matt Kuchar and Zach Johnson.
That’s powerful trio for the rest of the field to try and get the better of, but golf betting is always tough to call when it comes to the outright market so the Top Ten Market is always a place where you can find good value. Johnson and Kuchar are 5/2 shots there for example, with Mickelson up at 11/4.
Jordan Spieth, Jimmy Walker and Jim Furyk are also good options at around 20/1 in the outright market, with Ryan Palmer and Charlie Hoffman around the 25/1 mark. Scotland’s Martin Laird is the current reigning champion at the San Antonio event and he is trading up at a price of 12/1 for a top ten finish.
