John Deere Classic: golf betting guide

Steve Stricker is going for a 4th win in a row at the John Deere Classic on the TPC Deere Run.

Unsurprisingly Stricker is a short-priced favourite at 7/1, meaning there is plenty of value in the rest of the field.

The TPC Deere Run course is usually a birdie fest and the weather seems to suggest it will be the same this time round.

Ryan Palmer at 20/1 with Ladbrokes Doesn't have a great record at this event, however he is in superb form having had four top tens from his last six starts. Is currently 13th on the PGA Tour for birdie average this season, which is something he will need to maintain this week to do well.

Jonathan Byrd at 20/1 with Ladbrokes Won here in 2007 and has been playing well of late making seven consecutive cuts and having five top 25s in that period. Just needs a win to match his excellent 2011 season.

Bet with Ladbrokes and get up to £50 on free bets:

Robert Garrigus at 40/1 with Ladbrokes Can go super low at the drop of a hat, capable of going on massive birdie runs and vitally in good form – with a 4th place finish in the AT&T.

Kyle Stanley at 50/1 with Ladbrokes Since his 2nd and 1st place back-to-back finishes at the end of January things have gone quiet for Stanley. However with a finish of 22nd at the AT&T and returning to a course where he finished 2nd last season, this may just be the week he returns to form.

Jhonattan Vegas at 100/1 with Ladbrokes Excellent price for a man who can go on birdie streaks. Not only that but he is not playing badly either, tied 4th a couple of weeks back at the AT&T and was also in 4th place at the midway point here last year; before fading.
