2009 U.S. Open Golf Championship Payouts
Can Tiger Woods Repeat at Bethpage Black?
 Tiger Woods won the 2008 US Open Championship Golf Tournament in the first playoff hole after an 18-hole playoff round vs. Rocco Mediate. In fact, if players are tied on Sunday after the 4 rounds, they must return on Monday to shoot other 18th holes, which I’m sure sits well with the wives! I’m sure there’s a bud light commercial in there somewhere, but I digress….
Nevertheless, Tiger is now back on the PGA tour and he’s already made $2,166,813 dollars in 6 events and won the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by MasterCard on March 29th shooting -5 for the tournament. As you can see, life has been rough for Tiger this year, he’s only played 6 tournaments and netted only $2.1 million during the recession. In case you google this Tiger, I'm kidding bud!
But, when Tiger Woods is not winning this event, it’s always the unknown underdog who captures the main limelight at this Major event and if you look at the past recent results, the US Open Golf tournament has seen 5 of the last 6 champions come from outside of the USA. From a betting perspective, this is exactly what you want, because you can find tons of value in quality golfers who don’t have that big marquee name, but has been shooting lights out under the radar screen.
For example, this years Masters Champion Angel Cabrera won this event in 2007, but he snuck up on the field this year to capture the Masters at 50-1. Who will be Mine that Bird this year at Bethpage Black?
The US Open Golf Tournament is the second major in line after the Masters and it’s always played on the third week of June, so championship Sunday can fall on Father’s day. The Purse is $7.5 million dollars and Bethpage Black is a par 71 golf course.
Furthermore, the US Open Championship record after 4 rounds is 272 and it’s held by 4 great golfers.
- Jack Nicklaus (1972)

Ron Raymond's US Open Golf Picks
Nobody has won back to back US Open Golf Championships since Curtis Strange did in ’88 and 89. Plus, from what I can gather from local players and professional golfers, if you’re a bit wild off the tees, you will be in for a long day, because there’s no forgiveness at Bethpage Black. Here’s what you’re looking for when picking a golfer to win the 2009 US Open Championship.
- 1. You want somebody who is accurate in driving and hit’s the fairways with consistency.
- 2. Somebody who can nail putts, because like they say; “You drive for show and putt for dough”.
- 3. Finding a golfer who has won this year, this mean they know how to deal with pressure on Sunday.
Gold Pick: Zach Johnson +5050: Zach Johnson is my top choice to win the 2009 US Open Golf Championship at Bethpage Black. In my view, the winner of the US Open will need to be able to take out the driver and be ready to “grip it and rip it” and hit the fairways consistently. In fact, Johnson is hitting 69.5% of his drives in the fairways this season and is ranked 15th in accuracy. Plus, he’s won 2 events (Sony Open in Hawaii and Valero Texas Open) this year and has 5 top ten finishes and eight Top 25 finishes. He’s your current FedEx Cup leader and has netted 3.3 million in earnings this year. Plus, being paired with Lee Westwood of England and Shingo Katayama of Japan, sits well with Johnson, as he won’t have the “media pressure” following them, because they will be in Tiger and Phil’s group.
Silver Pick: Geoff Ogilvy +2000: After reviewing the important factors of driving and putting, Geoff Ogilvy has been solid in these departments, but even stronger with the putter. Ogilvy is currently ranked 7th with the putter and that is huge for winning the US Open. Ogilvy has 2 wins this year (World Golf Championship Accenture Match Play Championship); he’s got 4 Top 10 finishes and 7 Top 25 finishes. Plus, he’s 2nd in the Fed Ex cup and did well at last years Championship by placing 9th. This might be his year, as long as his putter is burning hot!
Bronze Pick:Ian Poulter +5000: I’ve been a huge Ian Poulter fan this year and if there’s one thing about betting on Ian, when he’s hot, he will give you a chance on Sundays. If you recall, Ian finished 2nd this year at the Players Championship and he’s earned 4 Top 10 finishes and 7 Top 25 finishes. Poulter is my longshot to win the 2009 US Open Championship and he’s 12th in putting on tour and because this is a challenging course, ending up in the sand traps might be key to some golfers scores and Poulter is ranked 5th in sand trap plays. Take a flyer and play Poulter at these great odds.

Golf General Betting Rules
Bet on all Major PGA Golfing Events Straight Up money line betting as well as matchups.
Bet right up until tee-off time.
In head-to-head matchups, both golfers must tee-off in order to have action. If 1 player misses the cut, his adversary is deemed the winner. If both players miss the cut the lower score wins. If both players have the same score, then all wagers are refunded.
Special Handicap Head to Heads If a player withdraws after tee off or misses the cut the player who plays the most holes wins.
Playoffs do not count for handicap bets.
To Win a Tournament All bets are treated as "All In". All players quoted have action regardless if a player withdraws before the tournament begins and are settled as a loss. In the event of a tie where 3 or more competitors are offered in one betting option, the payout will be divided by the number of players tied. For example 2 players tie for the Top USA player at the British Open will result in the normal payout given divided by 2.
If a tournament is shortened, after it has started, then all bets stand. Bets accepted after the end of a day's play are void unless there is further play, which counts towards the result of the tournament (other than a playoff). Or the betting is specifically stated to be on the outcome of a playoff.
If a tournament is officially abandoned, all bets on the tournament are void, except options that have already been decided.
