Portugal Masters Golf betting and odds

The inaugural Portugal Masters will be played between October 18-21, with a stella field expected for the brand new event.

Ryder Cup points are up for grabs and the big guns of the European tour will try to land the odds at the Victoria Clube de Golfe in Vilamoura.

With no previous winners, punters who like to bet on European golf might want to check the form guide to see who has hit the winning trail in recent months.

Omega European Masters champion Brett Rumford may attract those who like betting on recent winners, while a bet on Scot Marc Warren, who won the Johnnie Walker Championship at Gleneagles, may prove popular at decent odds.

England's Ross Fisher won the KLM Open in Holland and a bet on the talented Englishman could also be at decent odds as he has just the one win this season.

Colin Montgomerie won his first tournament in 19 months when claiming the European Open at the K Club in early July and the veteran Scot always attracts attention in the betting with his ability to rise to the occasion and compete with the best in Europe.
Odds will be available on Monty, while Russia Open champion Per-Ulrik Johansson is also likely to feature in the betting as another star who has tasted success this summer on the tour.

Open champion Padraig Harington is always a popular bet and his stock has risen since winning at Carnoustie with the popular Irishman a shrewd bet to finish near the top of the field in Portugal.

Graeme Storm has had his backers this year and claimed the French Open back in early July and he appears to be a player in form and one to consider betting on in Vilamoura.
