This week’s event, is played on the par-72 TPC of Boston course in Norton, Mass. After last years inaugural Championship there have been a number of changes to the course that has seen it stretch to nearly 7500 yds and from a par 71 to a par 72. Vijay Singh(6/1) must have a leading chance this week, as Mr. Consistency looks to improve on last years 4th. A win here could see him overtake Tiger Woods in the Official World Rankings, but it is interesting to see that Tiger (4/1) is appearing here, so a head to head battle looks likely. Last year's winner Adam Scott (20/1) shot a superb 2nd round of 62, and will need more of the same to contend this week. An outsider to note is Tim 'lumpy' Herron (40/1) who was a fine 5th last year. Recovering now from illness, he showed his game is in form by finishing 2nd after a playoff in the Buick Championship.

Nigel’s Two Off The Tee … Vijay Singh @ 6/1, Tiger Woods @ 4/1, Tim Herron 40/1 Each way ¼ odds, 1.2.3.4.5. Bet this tournament In-Running throughout.
