Sports Betting News: Monty Drops Out Of Top 100

Monty, usually a firm favourite with sports betting fans when it comes to the Ryder Cup, may not make the European team in 2008.

Colin Montgomerie, Scotland's leading golfer, is no longer one of the top 100 golfers in the world, sports betting fans may be interested to hear.

With the Ryder Cup fast approaching, those looking to place bets on the tournament may be doing so without one of the competition's best performers in recent times.

Although he has never won a Major championship, Montgomerie generally plays some of his best golf when it comes to the biennial transatlantic battle between America and Europe.

Currently, both sides are 10/11 with online sports betting service 888Sport.com to win the event, which is being held at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky - but Monty's absence could influence matters.

Montgomerie will have a number of tournaments this summer to prove he has what it takes to play for the Europeans when the Ryder Cup gets underway on September 16th.
