2013 WGC Cadillac Championship Odds Doral Preview, Picks
Last Updated: March 5th, 2013 byThe PGA Tour is back with yet another great stop for the 2013 golf season. On March 6th-9th, the tour heads to Doral, Florida, where some of the best golfers in the world will get together for the 2013 Cadillac Championship. Check out the odds to win the Cadillac Championship, which can be found at the bottom of this post.
With the limited field allowed at this WGC event, there is no doubt that the golf odds are going to be a bit lower than they normally are. Those the odds might change, the names certainly don’t. It’s still clear that Tiger Woods (Cadillac Championship Odds: 9.50 to 1 @ Sportbet Sportsbook) is expected to be the man of the hour at Doral, a tournament that isn’t played all that far from his own backyard. Woods was the inaugural winner of this event in 1999, and he has gone on to win in six times. However he hasn’t been the triumphant one since the 2007 season, and five different golfers have claimed the title since that point. Woods does look a lot better at this point this year than he has this early in the year in most of the last three years, so perhaps he has a good chance to claim the title at the Cadillac Championship, but we aren’t 100% convinced that he is going to be able to go the distance for the 72 holes against a field this strong.

The interesting story to follow this week is going to be that of Rory McIlroy (PGA Tour Odds: 20 to 1 @ Sportbet Sportsbook). Last year, McIlroy was the 5 to 1 favorite on the odds to win the Cadillac Championship, and even had this tournament been played prior to last week, he probably wouldn’t have been much more than 12 to 1 or so, if even that. The Northern Ireland native though, has a demon hanging over his head right now, though. He was playing terrible golf last week at the Honda Classic when he literally just walked off of the court and told the media that he wasn’t in the right mindset to be playing golf at that point. Has his mental game improved over the course of the last week? McIlroy had better hope so, because he doesn’t even have a cut line this week to worry about, and he’ll be forced to go the full 72 holes even if he isn’t on his game.

Last year’s champ, Justin Rose (Odds to Win The Cadillac Championship: 17 to 1 @ Sportbet Sportsbook) is always a threat to put together a big time round of golf. It’s amazing to think that Rose is only 33 years old, and it is almost just as amazing to think that he only has four PGA Tour wins to his credit. However, he is consistently one of the best golfers in the world and is always a man to watch out for. He hasn’t won since winning last year at Doral, but he does have four big time tournaments under his belt, two from 2010 (Memorial & AT&T National) and one from 2011 (BMW Championship) as well. We think that this might be the best value on the board right now of all of the 70 golfers that are playing.
Last season, Bubba Watson (WGC Cadillac Championship Odds: 30 to 1 @ Sportbet Sportsbook) came up just short of winning at the Blue Monster. He finished a stroke back of Rose and was in contention the whole way. This is one of the budding golfers on the PGA Tour, and he has proven that he can win in the clutch when it matters most. Watson has three wins in playoffs in his career, including last year at the Masters when he outdueled Louis Oosthuizen to claim his first major tournament and the Green Jacket. Watson also finished in the Top 25 both in the Open Championship (23rd) and the PGA Championship (11th), and we have to think that he has a shot to be in contention come Sunday at Doral as well.
