Tigers record in this tournament is magnificent. His last 5 finishes read 1st, 1st, 9th, 1st, 1st. Pretty damn impressive. Whats not impressive is his price. He's 9/4 to win again this weekend and only for his poor finish last week at Bay Hill it would have been even shorter! Anyway its a bit short for me so i'm gonna be betting in the "without Woods" markets.

20 Points E/W on Ernie Els: @11/1 Els has been playing well this year without actually winning, hes played well in Florida before and has finished 12th 1st and 5th in his last 3 visits. He can afford to finish 2nd here to his old rival Woods for the bet to come in.

7 Points E/W on Robert Allenby E/W @40/1: Gonna keep the faith with Allenby for another couple of weeks, this easier course looks like an ideal opportunity for him to get himself into contention this weekend.

8 Points E/W on David Toms @22/1: Another old friend of mine who owes me a good perfromance! He has a great record in this championship and has finished 4th 5th 13th 6th and 53rd over the last few years.

2.50 E/W on Stuart Appleby @100/1: Appleby has a good record in this tournament, 2nd 16th 11th and 6th in the past few years. Hasn'tbeen in greatform this year but hopefully he can return to form for this one and give a good account of himself.

5 Points: Top US Player without Woods:Charles Howell @12/1

Verdict:
20 Points E/W on Els @11/1
7 Points E/W on Allenby @40/1
8 Points E/W on Toms @22/1
2.50 Points E/W on Appleby @100/1
5 Points on Howell III to be top American(W/O Woods) @12/1
