Muirfield Village to host 2013 Presidents Cup

Golf Betting Lines

06/02/2010 - Dublin, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Muirfield Village Golf Club has been selected as the host of the 2013 Presidents Cup.

Jack Nicklaus' course in Ohio will become the first venue to host three of golf's most prestigious international team competitions -- Ryder Cup, Solheim Cup and Presidents Cup. Muirfield Village has also been the home of the Memorial Tournament on the PGA Tour since 1976.

"I have always considered Muirfield Village Golf Club a showcase for my love and respect for the game of golf, as well as a representation of my passion for competition and tournament golf," said Nicklaus, a four-time U.S. captain in the Presidents Cup. "In turn, I view The Presidents Cup as a wonderful showcase for the global game of golf and a platform to promote the good will and sportsmanship inherent to the sport. I have been extremely proud of my association over the years with The Presidents Cup and have been amazed and impressed with its growth as one of the game's premier team competitions. I think this is an ideal marriage, and I am pleased and proud that Muirfield Village will have the opportunity to host this great event."

The 2013 Presidents Cup will be played from September 30 through October 6.

Muirfield Village will become just the third U.S. course to host the Presidents Cup, as Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Virginia held the event four times (1994, 1996, 2000, 2005) and San Francisco's Harding Park staged last year's U.S. victory.

"The selection of Muirfield Village as the site of the next Presidents Cup in the United States is confirmation of what the golf club and Jack Nicklaus has meant to the history of our sport," said PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem.

Muirfield Village previously hosted the 1987 Ryder Cup and the 1998 Solheim Cup. The 1992 U.S. Amateur was also staged at the course.

The Presidents Cup is held every two years and features a team of PGA Tour players from the United States against a squad of international players from outside of Europe in match-play competition. The U.S. has won six of the previous eight Presidents Cup matches, including last year's triumph in San Francisco.

Royal Melbourne in Australia will host the next Presidents Cup from November 14-20, 2011.

Albert Pujols to be This Year's Home Run Champ Says Online Sportsbook

Barry Bonds is a 50-1 long shot to be this year's home run champ odds.  The favorite to be this year's home run champ is none other than Albert Pujols, however.

Now that Barry Bonds is signed and in Giants camp, it is on to his pursuit of all of sports most prestigious records: the all-time home run mark. Bonds sits just 21 homers shy of tying Hank Aaron for the career mark at 755. Word out of Giants’ camp is that Bonds is the healthiest he has been in a few years. Bonds is just two seasons removed from his injury riddled 2005 campaign where he played in only 14 games and hit only 5 home runs. He did come back last year and had a solid season hitting .270 with 26 bombs. All eyes will be on Bonds this spring and summer not only because of his home run chase but his highly publicized steroid abuse allegations. If and when Bonds breaks the record, he surely will not get the positive attention one should for breaking a record that was once thought of as “unbreakable”. Despite Bonds decent season last year, he is just 50-1 at MySportsbook.com to lead the MLB in long balls this season.

Not surprisingly, the favorites to go deep the most times this season are Albert Pujols 5-1, Ryan Howard 6-1, David Ortiz 8-1 and Alex Rodriguez 12-1. With 49 homers, Pujols finished second in the National League behind Howard (58). Pujols is considered the favorite due to the consistent power numbers that he has posted since breaking into the league in 2001. Also one must consider the fact that he played in 16 fewer games then Howard did due to an injury. Howard smashed 58 homers in his first complete season of big league play en route to the National League MVP odds award. He silenced his critics by successfully hitting left-handed pitching. Howard also displayed the ability to use his power to the opposite field. Two attributes which should keep Howard amongst the league leaders in long balls for years to come. From the American League representatives, David Ortiz leads the field. Ortiz was second in the majors last year with 54 home runs. Except for 1999 when he only played in 10 games, Ortiz has improved on his home run numbers each year he has been in the majors (1997).
