Fan favorite Phil Mickelson headlines the field for this week’s PGA Tour event and he also sits atop the golf odds to win the Farmers Insurance Open which begins Thursday at fabled Torrey Pines Golf Course in San Diego, California.
Bet on the PGA Tour‘s Farmers Insurance Open this week with thegolf odds at Bovada.
The veteran left-hander with 39 career wins will be looking for his first victory since the Shell Houston Open in April of last year, and is listed at 14/1 odds to get the job done this week. Mickelson isn’t alone at that juicy chalk, however, as fellow American Nick Watney is also listed as the co-favorite this week at 14/1 odds.
Mickelson, who hails from the San Diego area, is a three-time winner of this event (which was called the Buick Invitational until 2010) but those victories came awhile back in 1993, 2000, and 2001. Last year he fell just short of winning his fourth title at the Farmers Insurance Open, finishing one stroke behind winner Bubba Watson who shot 16-under par (71-65-69-67).
Watson, another long-hitting left-hander, is listed back at 28/1 odds along with young hotshotRickie Fowler, who will be making his 2012 PGA Tour season debut this week at Torrey Pines. Watney, the 2009 champion, is scheduled to tee it up for the first two rounds with Mickelson andHunter Mahan in the marquee grouping to watch, with Mahan listed third on the betting odds at 18/1.
Brandt Snedeker (20/1), with three Top 10 career finishes at Torrey Pines, and 2010 winner Ben Crane (25/1) are also rated highly by the oddsmakers while powerful Dustin Johnson joins Watson and Fowler at 28/1. Johnson appears ready to go after a sore back forced him to withdraw last week from the Humana Challenge.
