 The 2009 Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial will start this Thursday, May 28th and will go right up to Sunday, May 31st and last year’s champion Phil Mickelson will not be in the field, as he’s on a leave of absent to be with his wife Amy who’s battling breast cancer. However, there will be a few past champions in the field trying to get a piece of the $6.1 million dollar purse; as Rory Sabbatini fresh off his HP Byron Nelson win last weekend and Tim Herron in 2006 will be in the field.
Paul Casey and Jim Furyk are the co-favorites to win the 2009 Crowne Plaza Invitational golf tournament this weekend, as the Las Vegas Sportsbooks and the Offshore Sportsbooks have made both PGA golfers +1615 odds to win the tournament. Meaning, if you wagered $100 on either golfer and should one of these 2 PGA Pro’s win this event, you will net a profit of $1615 on your $100 bet. Not bad for only 4 days work right?
Kenny Perry has the course record of -19 and an aggregate record of 261 for 4 days of work and Perry won this event twice in 2003 and 2005. In fact, Kenny Perry is currently a +1815 to win and Kenny last played on May 10th at the Players Championship.
The Colonial Country Club course is a par 70 golf course is a Par 70 course and the Yardage is 7,054.
Here are the past 15 winners of this tournament:
As you can see, the economic crisis of the last few years have given us a few sponsors for this event, but the tradition continues and we can thank the golf gods for allowing us to have something to cheer about in this tough economic times. In fact, the good people at Crowne Plaza have stepped up to the plate and here’s a free plug for this fine sponsor.
Crowne Plaza is a chain of full service, upscale hotels catering to business travelers and to the meetings and conventions market. The brand is owned by the InterContinental Hotels Group. The hotels are usually located in city centers, resorts, or near major airports.

Ron Raymond's Golf Predictions
Sports Handicapper and Professional Gambler Ron Raymond will release his 2009 Crowne Plaza Golf Invitational golf predictions on Wednesday, May 27th. Ron’s golf picks are ranked from Gold (Top Play), Silver (Medium odds) to Bronze (longshot odds).
Gold Pick: Kenny Perry +2000
Keys to selection: Kenny Perry owns 2 records at this invitational!
Silver Pick: Ian Poulter +3050
Keys to selection: The fact that Poulter didn’t make the cut last week at the Byron Nelson, will put more pressure on himself to play better this week. He’s too good of a golfer to have another off week.
Bronze Pick: Brian Gay +7050
Keys to selection: Gay was in the running in ’08, but choked on Sunday, 69 65 69 (72) -5 275. Worth a look, as he played well in this one last year.

2009 European Open Golf May 28th - 31st, 2009
According to Wikipedia: The European Open started in 1978 and up to 1994 it was played at various golf courses in England. It has become an important tournament on the Tour for the European players and in 2008 the total prize money was £2.4 million, putting it in the leading group of European Tour events outside of the major championships and the three individual World Golf Championships events. The 2008 Miguel Ángel Jiménez from Spain was last years champion and he’s currently +4050 odds to win the 2009 event. Therefore, if you want to bet on Jiménez to win again this year, you would need to wager $100 to win $4050. The 2009 PGA Championship winner Henrik Stenson is +1085 to win the BMW PGA Championship ahead of the early odds favorite, Paul Casey who’s a +1615 favorite to win.
2009 European Open Golf Odds to win
Ross Fisher of England won this event in 2008 and it doesn’t seem he will be part of the 2009 field, as there are no odds on him at Thegreek Sportsbook. Stephen Dodd and Collin Montgomerie have won this event in 2007 and 2006 and both are listed in the golfer’s odds futures list. Dodd is currently +7050 to win, meaning you would need to wager $100 to win $7050 if he should win. While Collin Montgomerie is +8050 along with fan favorite John Daly. JD would be worth a shot here at these odds, as he seems to do well on the other side of the pond in these tournaments.

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.
