A little late for a betting preview as the US PGA Championship has already started, however I'll cover it briefly in this post as it is without doubt one of the best golf betting events of the year.
The Championship which makes up the last of The Majors is in its 91st year and beeing played at the Hazeltine National Golf Club in Minnesota from the 10th till the 16th of August.
Tiger Woods is generally rated the best if one considers the bookies odds but there is some stiff competition for him and such a lot of good options for placing a few bets.

Here's the list of web resources for the event:

- The official PGA Championship site by pga.com is naturally an excellent starting point
- The US PGA Championship site is more geared towards betting on the event
- Gambling Guru provided a good 2009 PGA Championship Betting Preview
- The site also supplies live 2009 PGA Championship Betting Odds
- If you want to know more about the course visit the Hazeltine National Golf Club website
- And lastly for news I suggest you visit golf.com

Golf remains one of the less popular sports to bet on but regardless it offers excellent value for knowledgeable fans and bookies have a lot of different betting options for the PGA Championship which can add even more value to the experience.

Best of luck!
