WGC Bridgestone Invitational golf betting guide: Advised bets and odds

Golf betting guide for the WGC Bridgestone Invitational at Firestone Country Club. A week before the US PGA, the best players in the world are fighting it out at a course where Tiger Woods has dominated in previous years, so follow our form guide to see if there's any value elsewhere.

Davis Love

At a bigger price, US Open champion Lucas Glover also looks well suited to Firestone having finished 4th in 2006. Similarly the joint runners-up behind Woods in 2007, Justin Rose and Rory Sabbatini, both take the eye at big prices.   Instead though, I must have an investment on the man with the best Firestone record of anyone bar Woods; DAVIS LOVE. He hasn't finished outside the top-15 on this track for well over a decade, and made the top-6 on five of his last six appearances here despite the fact that his game has generally been in decline throughout that period. As 5th place in the recent Memorial Tournament illustrates, Love is still capable at this level. Indeed it's only nine months since his last PGA Tour title, and he also finished runner-up in the opening event of 2009.   Good Luck!   ADVISED BETS   WGC-BRIDGESTONE INVITATIONAL   12pts TIGER WOODS @ 2.75 (GENERAL)   BETTING WITHOUT WOODS   2.5pts ew JIM FURYK @ 20/1 (GENERAL, 22/1 STAN JAMES) 2pts ew HUNTER MAHAN @ 25/1 (GENERAL) 2pts ew PAUL CASEY @ 28/1 (SKYBET, EXPEKT) 1.5pts ew CAMILO VILLEGAS @ 40/1 (GENERAL, 45/1 BLUESQ) 1pt ew DAVIS LOVE @ 50/1 (SKYBET, BET365)   LONG-TERM ALREADY ADVISED
