2012 Ryder Cup Betting Odds And Preview

It was quite a memorable Ryder Cup back in 2010 at Celtic Manor Resort, Wales. Team Europe captured a tightly contested event 14.5 points to 13.5 points over The United States. It’s hard to think that two years has already passed.

But the 2012 Ryder Cup comes back to take place in the United States, at Medinah Country Club in Illinois to be exact.

The biggest names in the game will be there, including Tiger woods, Rory Mcilroy, Phil Mickelson and more, as the United States and Europe will battle it out through two days of team competition, with the third day the singles matches with the most points on the line.

And with the Tour Championship now passed, these players are focused solely on winning and representing their countries.

Oddsmakers have jumped in on this action as well.

2012 Ryder Cup Betting Odds available at Bovada Sportsbook have set the United States as -140 favorites on the moneyline to take back the Ryder Cup. Europe is going off in the role of the underdog at +120 on the payout.
