McIlroy Shortens For SPOTY Award

Following on from an excellent Ryder Cup with the victorious Team Europe, we can report further support for Rory McIlroy…

…to win the 2014 BBC Sports Personality of the Year award.

McIlroy was as short as 1/7 prior to Europe retaining the Ryder Cup. In the past 24 hours, we have had to clip the Co. Down man into 1/9 after laying a €7,000 bet on at 1/7 on him.

McIlroy’s nearest rival in the betting is Formula One driver, Lewis Hamilton, who is priced at 6/1 but can be backed at 11/8 in the Betting without Rory McIlroy market.

Wwe can expect to see plenty of support come for the British driver if he manages to win the Drivers’ Championship.
