European Tour Golf Betting Odds: The Johnnie Walker Championship at Gleneagles celebrates its 13th anniversary at the Scottish venue this year. First played in 1999, the tournament has seen plenty of drama over the years, none more so than 2010 when Italian Edoardo Molinari birdied the last three holes to capture his second win on Scottish soil and force his way into The Ryder Cup Team as one of Colin Montgomerie's Captain's picks. He joined an impressive roll of honor which already included international golfing superstars such as England’s Paul Casey and Adam Scott of Australia, along with home grown Scottish talent Marc Warren.

Once again the Championship will be held over The PGA Centenary Course, the venue for the 2014 Ryder Cup, from the 23th – 26th August. The Chairman of the Championship is the 2010 Ryder Cup Captain Colin Montgomerie.

The Jack Nicklaus designed PGA Centenary Course opened in 1993 and even for a champion and acclaimed golf architect like Nicklaus; The PGA Centenary Course was a challenge. It had to be a great course and, set as it is in the heart of Scotland, the country that gave the world golf, Nicklaus described the course as "The finest parcel of land in the world I have ever been given to work with". That’s quite a compliment from a man who has designed 100’s of courses all over the world.

The 2012 Johnnie Walker Championship at Gleneagles is sure to attract a world class field and one you won’t want to miss.

2011 Johnnie Walker Championship at Gleneagles Winner - Bjorn wins Johnnie Walker Championship

Denmark's Thomas Bjorn won the Johnnie Walker Championship at Gleneagles after an epic five-way play-off on Sunday.

In cold and windy conditions, the 40-year-old - winner of the Qatar Masters earlier this season - secured the title and the 266,628-euros winner's prize on the fifth play-off hole as South African George Coetzee failed to match his birdie.

The Austrian Bernd Wiesberger, Spaniard Pablo Larrazabal and England's Mark Foster were eliminated earlier in the play-off as they came unstuck on the par-5 18th.

The title went into a play-off after the five were on 277 11-under par after the final round. After a poor tee shot on the fifth play-off hole, Bjorn set himself up for victory with a superb chip from off the green that landed just three feet from the hole.

With the 25-year-old Coetzee only able to make par, the Dane sank his birdie putt to secure his first win since turning 40 in July.
