Rory McIlroy is no stranger to success at Valhalla, and many believe he has a strong chance of winning the US PGA this week. Some may argue that his recent announcement of a divorce from his wife Erica would affect his game, but those people clearly haven't been following McIlroy's career closely enough.
Let's take a trip down memory lane, shall we? Ten years ago, when McIlroy was the world's number two golfer, he went through another high-profile breakup. This time, it was with tennis star Caroline Wozniacki, after they had already sent out wedding invitations to their loved ones. However, this didn't stop McIlroy from winning the US PGA at Valhalla that summer, the very same course where he is now looking to end his drought and claim another major victory. It's worth noting that this divorce didn't come out of the blue for McIlroy; he had been aware of the situation for some time now. In fact, it didn't seem to affect his performance at all, as he recently stormed to a fourth victory at the Wells Fargo tournament.
If anything, this news may have lifted a weight off McIlroy's shoulders and given him the freedom to play at the peak of his abilities. The stars seem to be aligning in his favor, and it's an exciting time for McIlroy fans.
On a different note, Scottie Scheffler is making his return to the game after taking some time off to celebrate the birth of his first child, Bennett, with his wife Meredith. Scheffler has been on fire this year, winning four of his last five tournaments, including the prestigious Arnold Palmer Invitational, the Players Championship, and the Masters. While some may worry that he may be a bit rusty after not playing since his victory at the RBC Heritage in April, history has shown that the arrival of a new baby can often bring out the best in golfers on the PGA Tour.
Another golfer who recently became a father is Sam Burns, who took a few weeks off to be with his family after his wife Caroline gave birth to their son, Bear. Burns' performance at the Quail Hollow tournament, where he tied for 13th place, was his best since finishing 10th at the Genesis Invitational in February and third at the Arnold Palmer in March.
In other news, Manchester United and Chelsea are both looking to end their underwhelming seasons on a high note, while City aims to reclaim the top spot in the Premier League with a win against Spurs. In the Championship, there is a lot of interest surrounding former Chelsea and Arsenal star who is being sought after as a manager by several clubs. And as the Premier League season comes to an end, we see Burnley's relegation and Luton's potential promotion. It's always an exciting time in the world of football.
But let's not forget about the upcoming US PGA tournament, where our fourball looks promising. McIlroy has odds of 15/1 with Unibet and BetUK, while Scheffler has odds of 9/2 with the same firms and Bet Victor. We also have Burns, who is looking to finish in the top ten, with odds of 45/1 from bet365. And last but not least, we have Max Homa, who won us some big bucks in last week's tournament and is looking to continue his hot streak. As always, we recommend keeping an eye on these players and their odds as the tournament approaches.
In other sports news, we predict a riot at Elland Road as the Kaiser Chiefs' anthem blares through the stadium after Leeds beats Norwich by a couple of goals, securing themselves a spot in the Championship play-off final at Wembley. Betway has odds of 13/2 for a 2-0 home win, while Betfred has odds of 7/4 for Leeds to win by more than one goal. And for those looking to bet on the first goal scorer, Sky Bet has odds of 11/2 for Crysencio Summerville.
Lastly, if you're looking for a good bet in the Dante Stakes at York, we recommend backing John and Thady Gosden's colt, God's Window, each-way at 20/1 with Ladbrokes and Coral, among others. Don't let God's Window's last run in the Dee Stakes at Chester discourage you; we have a feeling he'll bounce back and perform well in the upcoming race.
As always, we'll keep you updated on all the latest sports news and betting tips, so stay tuned. And for all the Rory McIlroy fans out there, don't forget to check out his recent karaoke performance for some off-course entertainment!
