Golf Betting Lines
12/15/2011 - Ponte Vedra Beach, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Nationwide Tour unveiled its 2012 schedule on Thursday and it will begin with three events outside the United States.
The first two events of the year flip-flop spots on the calendar with the Pacific Rubiales Colombia Championship kicking off the season on Feb. 16.
Two weeks later, the tour heads to Panama for the Panama Claro Championship, which was the first stop last year. The following week the tour will move to Chile for the first of three new events.
The first U.S. stop will be in Louisiana, from March 22-25, with two tournaments in California after that. The tour returns east for four events, then has its final event outside the United States from June 7-10 with the Mexico Open.
The second new event, the United Leasing Championship at Victoria National Golf Club, takes place June 28-July 1 in Indiana.
The second half of the season has the tour making its annual stops in Wichita, Omaha, Boise and Midland, Texas.
As the tour heads into October, it will move to Potomac, Maryland for the Neediest Kids Championship, which is the final new event this season.
The tour wraps up its season from October 25-28, with the Nationwide Tour Championship at a new location, the TPC Craig Ranch. That event moved from Daniel Island Club in Charleston, S.C.
"The growth and impact of the Nationwide Tour we saw in 2011 was especially significant," said Bill Calfee, president of the Nationwide Tour. "Alumni victories on the PGA Tour reached 320 and were highlighted by seven wins by members of our 2010 class, including 2011 Rookie of the Year Keegan Bradley's extraordinary effort at the PGA Championship.
"On the Nationwide Tour, we experienced many memorable storylines and enjoyed one of our best years ever, both competitively and in terms of community impact."

The 2009 AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year odds have been released and Denver Broncos' running back Knowshon Moreno has been made the opening favorite.
Moreno was selected in the first round of April's NFL draft and is expected to carry the rushing load for the Broncos this season. And with Jay Cutler now in Chicago, Moreno might be expected to be Denver's entire offense.
Betting Lines from sports betting lines have made Moreno a 5/2 favorite to win this year's Offensive Rookie of the Year Award. Fellow running back Chris “Beanie” Wells (Arizona Cardinals) is right behind Moreno at 7/2, while Donald Brown (Indianapolis Colts) and receiver Michael Crabtree (San Francisco 49ers) are 5/1 to win. Quarterbacks Mark Sanchez (New York Jets) and Matthew Stafford (Detroit Lions) are 7/1 and 8/1, respectively.
A couple of players who present some value are Josh Freeman, Shonn Green and Darrius Heyward-Bey.
Freeman needs to beat out Byron Leftwich to become the starting quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but if he does, he has a lot or raw talent and could use the weapons around him (i.e. Kellen Winslow Jr. and Antonio Bryant) to be very successful in his first season.
Green enters a crowded backfield in New York, but considering both Thomas Jones and Leon Washington are unhappy about their contract situations and might holdout, the former Iowa product could become the Jets' primary back.
Everyone was shocked when Al Davis took Heyward-Bey with the eighth overall pick in April's draft, but the kid has a tremendous amount of talent and if quarterback JaMarcus Russell takes the next step this year, the former Maryland product could blossom. Plus, Heyward-Bey will be looking to prove the people wrong who said Oakland should have taken Michael Crabtree with the No. 8 pick.
And if you're looking for a deep sleeper, check out Pat White at 30/1. He enters the Miami Dolphins vaunted “Wild Cat” offense and could be a big time playmaker.
