Betting for 2010 US Masters
Golf fans are sure to be excited for the quickly approaching 2009 US Masters tournament as it gears up to take place from April 6th to 12th.
The event will be hosted at the Augusta National Golf Course in Augusta, Georgia, acting as one of the most celebrated golf tournaments of the year. First being held in 1934 and becoming an annual event in 1940, the US Masters is a highlight of the golf season.
Monday through Wednesday of the US Masters are slated for practice play (and Wednesday’s Par 3 Contest) before competitive rounds begin on Thursday. Golf pros including Tiger Woods, Padraig Harrington, Ben Crenshaw and more have all confirmed their attendance at the event.
Top names in the golf world will battle it out for the Champion title and accompanying awards, including an engraved spot on the permanent Masters Trophy along with a gold medal and, of course, the legendary, Masters green jacket.
The US Masters also hosts prizes and recognition for special achievements such as a crystal bowl trophy for a hole-in-one or a crystal bowl for finishing the day with the lowest score.
Last year’s Masters saw South African golfer, Trevor Immelman take first place and secure the title of 2008 Masters Champion. Immelman returns this year to play against the sport’s best competitors in a bid to repeat his success.
Actual ranking and leaderboard placement begins on Thursday, April 9th and comes to a close with the final day of play on Sunday, April 12th.
