One of my favourite tournaments tees off today at Sawgrass. There is no Tiger on the prowl this week and I believe one of the other big guns will step up and take the prize.

Sawgrass is a tough course, and the finishing stretch on 16th, 17th and 18th holes is probably the most exciting and testing in golf. Experience, accuracy and ability to withstand pressure are going to be main requirements this week and I believe one player stands out as representing exceptional value at 21.0 that is generally available at the bookies.
 
 That man is Vijay Singh. He has not been at his best over the last year or so, struggling especially with his putting. However his accuracy from tee to green has remained top draw and there has been signs in recent weeks that his putting is improving.
 
 He was on the fringes of the leader board in the Masters and looked impressive again in last weeks Wachovia Championship.
 
 I believe his putting woes are slowly but surely being rectified and am confident that he will be in the mix at the business end of this tournament and should finish in top 5 at least.
 
 Therefore my recommended bet in the outright market is::
 
  BACK Vijay Singh for 1 point E/W @ 21.0 ( 1/4 odds a place 1-5 )
 
 Join me and we could all be Singhing his praises on Sunday night.
