Accenture Match Play Final Four Picks
The golf season has had a quiet start so far simply because the biggest name in the sport, Tiger Woods, isn’t playing on the Tour right now, but this week’s event should receive plenty more attention.
This week, the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship will take place in Marana, Arizona. Geoff Ogilvy took the largest part of the $8.5 million share last year and 63 others will try to do the same. Here are our final four picks for the weekend:

Golf Betting Odds: Rory McIlroy +350
Golf betting: Canadian Open Preview and Pick
It’s no college football betting, but the PGA can still provide us with lots of sportsbook fun. Even this week’s Canadian Open is worth wagering on, as it features more good golfers than you may think and has some interesting storylines. Let’s examine a few of the more intriguing picks.
Retief Goosen (+1600)
Why he could win: Few golfers are more consistent than Goosen, who has missed just one cut all season. He’s also cracked the top 25 in four of five tournaments and he was very solid at the British Open, tying for fifth place, just two strokes out of a playoff. Winners at Glen Abbey Golf Club, host of the Canadian Open, typically go low, and Goosen is ninth on Tour in scoring average.
