The 2008 US PGA Championship is the last major golf tournament of the season, and it looks like it will be a hard-fought golf tournament among the PGA Tour golfers. Just to recap the big winners of the grand slam tournaments this season -
Trevor Immelman won the 2008 Masters,
Tiger Woods won the 2008 US Open, and
Padraig Harrington won the 2008 Open Championship, or what was formerly known as the British Open.
Now, the next major golf tournament in the PGA Tour is the 2008 PGA Championship, which will be played on August 7 to 10, 2008 at the Oaklnad Hills Country Club in Bloomfield Hills, Michingan. The odds on who will be the outright winner of the 2008 US PGA Championship are as follows:
There are still more odds listed for most participating PGA golfers, but the odd thing about the odds (pardon the pun) is that there is no sighting of Tiger Woods. The tiger may be an extinct animal, but where in the world is Tiger Woods, and why is he not included in the odds of the 2008 PGA Championship? After all, Tiger Woods was the winner of the 2007 PGA Championship, and many would be expecting him to be around to defend his title.
Well, Tiger Woods is out for the season after going through knee surgery. At present, Tiger Woods is reported to be around 12 pounds lighter, and walking around with a limp. Doctors have given Tiger Woods around 6 months of therapy and rehabilitation before he can get back to playing on the PGA Tour.
In any case, a major golf tournament without Tiger Woods means that the odds are open for everyone to win. Well, at least the field of PGA Tour golfers won’t have to keep looking over their shoulder to watch out for Tiger Woods.

KJ Choi of South Korea played a very impressive golf game on the second round of the 2008 British Open to put him on top of the British Open leaderboard, followed closely behind by Greg Norman of Australia.
KJ Choi sits at one-under for the 2008 British Open, and is the only golfer to break par. Greg Norman sits at an even par after two rounds while trailing closely is Camillo Villegas of Colombia with one-over par, who shot a second round best 65 to move him up the leaderboard. After Camillo Villegas, seven other golfers are on a tie for fourth place and are within striking distance for the topspot. Among the seven golfers are the likes of David Duval, Padraig Harrington, Jim Furyk, Rocco Mediate and Robert Allenby.
KJ Choi is expected to keep the pace in the third round in order to win the 2008 British Open, or what is now referred to as the 2008 Open Championship.
