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.

Super Bowl XLIV Odds

Super Bowl XLIII isn't even a week old yet and oddsmakers have already released Super Bowl XLIV odds.

Despite the Pittsburgh Steelers winning Super Bowl 43, the New England Patriots are 8/1 favorites to win Super Bowl 44.

Bet Super Bowl XLIV Future Odds

With their 27-23 victory over the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII, the Steelers became the latest NFL champion. But believe it or not, oddsmakers from online sports book MySportsbook.com don't have the Steelers the favorites to win Super Bowl XLIV next season.

That honor belongs to the New England Patriots, who are 8/1 favorites to win despite not even qualify for the postseason in 2008. The Pats also have a major decision to make regarding what to do with Matt Cassel, who played well in Tom Brady's (knee surgery) absence last year but is also a free agent this offseason.

Ironically, the Steelers aren't even oddsmakers second choice to win Super Bowl 44, as the Dallas Cowboys are listed right behind the Patriots at 9/1 despite not making the playoffs themselves. Clearly oddsmakers think the public will hop back on the Cowboys' bandwagon considering the immense talent they have and the opening of a brand new stadium.

After Dallas, then comes Pittsburgh at 10/1, but they share those odds with the New York Giants, who won Super Bowl XLII. The Indianapolis Colts and San Diego Chargers round out the top six teams at 12/1, while the Baltimore Ravens (14/1), Tennessee Titans (16/1), Carolina Panthers (18/1) and Philadelphia Eagles (18/1) complete the top 10.

The NFC Champion Arizona Cardinals got no love from oddsmakers as they were established as a 30/1 long shot to win next year's Super Bowl. They share those same odds with the Chicago Bears and Tampa Bay Buccaneers – two teams that didn't even qualify for the postseason. Other long shots are the Kansas City Chiefs (100/1), Detroit Lions (100/1), St. Louis Rams (75/1) and Oakland Raiders (75/1).
