Veteran Thomas Bjorn of Denmark returns to Doha, Qatar this week as the defending champion of the Commercialbank Qatar Masters, but world No. 3 Lee Westwood of England is the favorite on the golf odds at 9/1 to win this European Tour event at the windswept Doha Golf Club.
Get all your 2012 golf betting odds for both the European and PGA Tour at Bovada this week.
Westwood finished T17 last week at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship, where he made his 2012 season debut by shooting a 6-under par total of 282 (72-72-68-70) to finish seven strokes behind winner Robert Rock of England at 13-under par.
Rock outdueled both Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy down the stretch on his way to victory, but with none of those three players in the field this week the top-ranked finishers at Abu Dhabi that will be competing in the Qatar Masters are Bjorn (22/1 odds) and Graeme McDowell (16/1). Both of those players finished T3 along with Woods last week at 11-under par.
Big-hitting Alvaro Quiros of Spain bombed out at Abu Dhabi, missing the cut at +6, but he won the Qatar Masters in 2009 and is listed at 16/1 odds to win a second title at Doha. Robert Karlsson of Sweden won this tournament title 2010 and is at 20/1.
World No. 4 Martin Kaymer of Germany also had a tough time last week, shooting rounds of 77 and 73 to miss the cut as well at +6. Nonetheless Kaymer is listed second behind Westwood at 12/1 odds to win the Qatar Masters.
Another talented Spaniard, Sergio Garcia, made his 2012 debut in more impressive fashion last week by shooting 8-under 280 to finish T12 at Abu Dhabi. Garcia is listed right behind Kaymer at 14/1 odds to win this week. Hunter Mahan is the top-rated American at 20/1 odds.
