PGA Tampa Bay Championship Odds : Adam Scott, Sergio Garcia & Luke Donald head markets for punters
The PGA Tour stays in America this week as the Tampa Bay Championship gets underway from the Copperhead Course at Innisbrook Resort and Golf Club in Palm Harbor, Florida on Thursday.
There looks to be plenty of quality players involved in this one and with a purse of around $5.5 million, it is certainly an event worth winning.
This event is missing big-name players such as Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, but Luke Donald is involved as well as Sergio Garcia and Adam Scott, so there is plenty of talent on show and the compeition should be strong.

Donald is the current holder of this Tampa Bay Championship after a superb performance last year. However, the Englishman has struggled to get going in 2013 and seems to be easing his way into the season.
There is not long until the first major of the year, The US Masters, gets underway and the former number-one needs to start finding some form. Donald has the talent and the knowhow in this event and 15/1 could prove to be good value for him this week.
In terms of men that the bookmakers fancy for this one, Adam Scott is being tipped as the current favourite at 14/1 to come out on top in Florida this week.
Scott put in a good performance at Doral last time out and managed to finish in third, which was a good effort considering he started poorly. In the closing stages, he wasn’t making as many mistakes and it seems as though his game is improving coming into this one.
He doesn’t win a great deal on the Tour though – in fact – he has only come out on top once since 2010, so he needs to produce something special here.
Sergio Garcia is in decent form at the moment and has started the year playing some superb golf, which is what everyone wants to see from one of the most popular men on the circuit. He can be backed at 16/1 to win at the Copperhead Course this week.
Garcia is another player that is often in contention, but struggled to come out on top. With the players he is going up against though, this is a great chance for the Spaniard to enjoy a victory.
Webb Simpson and Matt Kuchar are then both around 18/1 to come out on top and both have the quality to win this encounter.
Other contenders include Jason Dufner, Jim Furyk and Louis Oosthuizen, who are all available to back between 20/1 and 30/1.
The golf season is now certainly in full flow and it is at this time of year where we often see a lot of players click into gear, so we could see some top quality golf here.
A number of men will be looking to come out on top and feel confident that they can do just that, which makes for a fantastic four days of action.
The all important first round gets underway on Thursday.
