Geoff Ogilvy took the largest part of the $8.5 million share last year and 63 others will try to do the same. Here are our final four picks for the weekend:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ben Hogan Bracket<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Golf Betting Odds: Rory McIlroy +350<\/p>\n<p>There are some big names in this bracket, including Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Vijay Singh, Chad Campbell and David Toms, but the two favorites are Martin Kaymer and Rory McIlroy. McIlroy is an interesting prospect as he\u2019s just the second 20-year-old to break into the Top 10 while Kaymer is coming off a win at Abu Dhabi.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a tough call but the young gun will be our pick here. He is playing with a lot of confidence right now and the back problems appear to be behind him.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Pick: Rory McIlroy<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Bobby Jones Bracket<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Sports Betting Lines\" href=\"http:\/\/www.bettinglines.me\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Sports Betting Lines<\/a>: Steve Stricker +315<\/p>\n<p>The Bobby Jones Bracket has a big favorite as Steve Stricker is the man to beat. In 2001, he won this event as the No. 55 seed but he has improved significantly since. Nobody will be underestimating him this year.<\/p>\n<p>Stricker has been one of the best golfers around this year and he plays well at this tournament. He shouldn\u2019t have too many problems winning this bracket.<\/p>\n<h3>Pick: Steve Stricker<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Gary Player Bracket<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sports Interaction Odds (<a title=\"Sports Interaction Reviews\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ussportsbookreviews.com\/sportsbook-reviews\/62-sports-interaction-sportsbook-review\" target=\"_blank\">Sports Interaction Reviews<\/a>): Geoff Ogilvy +350<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/record.partners.betus.com\/_zzar6WLC4ylw9PUHBV5BDblVyq445Upn\/1\" rel=\"nofollow\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"width: auto; height: auto; margin: 1px; border: 3px solid #ffffff;\" src=\"http:\/\/media.partners.betus.com\/BANNERS\/golf\/sportsbook_golf_250x250_mybanner.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nIt\u2019s fairly hard to argue with Geoff Ogilvy not only to win the Gary Player Bracket, but to win it all. Ogilvy has won twice in four starts and in one of his other starts, he placed second.<\/p>\n<p>He probably won\u2019t have too much of a threat in this bracket but he should keep an eye on Lee Westwood. He\u2019s Europe\u2019s No. 1 and No. 4 overall, but he is just 5-9 at this tournament. This bracket will be up to him and Ogilvy, but we have Ogilvy advancing to celebrate the birth of his third child.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Pick: Geoff Ogilvy<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Sam Snead Bracket<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Sportsbetting\" href=\"http:\/\/www.betonsports.me\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Sportsbetting<\/a> odds: Paul Casey +450<\/p>\n<p>The Sam Snead Bracket is a little more open but Paul Casey is the favorite. In total, there are six golfers than are within 11-to-1 odds.<\/p>\n<p>Jim Furyk might be a popular pick but he can\u2019t get past the third round of this tournament. Casey might be a safer pick as he\u2019s made it to the finals before.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll go with Stewart Cink as the savvy veteran has made the final day in each of the last two years.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Pick: Stewart Cink<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/record.partners.betus.com\/_zzar6WLC4ylw9PUHBV5BDblVyq445Upn\/1\" rel=\"nofollow\">LOOKING TO BET ON THIS WEEK\u2019S ACCENTURE MATCH PLAY TOURNEY?
