US Masters Golf Betting 2012
Betting for 2011 US Masters
The venerable Masters Golf Tournament returns soon, celebrating 87 years of professional golf with its 2011 iteration this spring. The annual proving ground of the golf season will feature a kick-off to the year that includes practice rounds and competitive play from the sport’s best athletes.
As always, the Masters will return this year to its home at the historic and scenic Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia. Professionals will begin heading to Augusta for Monday, 4th April and the first practice round of the majors season. Practices continue on the 5th and 6th, concluding with a Par 3 Contest and then getting fully underway with competitive rounds scheduled from Thursday, 6th April through Sunday, 10th April.
Tension will be high this year as top players gather in Georgia to attempt to wrest the green jacket from Phil Mickelson (the winner of the 2004, 2006 and, last year’s 2010 Masters) and other legends like Tiger Woods (who emerged on top of the 2001, 2002 and 2005 Masters). The Masters, always a highlight for golfers and spectators alike, guarantee nearly an entire week of top-tier play and an unparalleled view of the athletes as they warm up their game for the rest of the season.
The 2011 Masters Golf Tournament is set to take place throughout the first full week of April.
