It's U.S. Open time, and golf's style icons like Rickie Fowler have their look selected well in advance of the tourney. According to Puma's preview of Fowler's clothes for the U.S. Open, it looks like Fowler is planning to wear shorts on Sunday, but he will actually be sporting a custom pants version instead.

Check out what Tiger Woods will be wearing all week.

Here are some other players who will be sporting a more traditional look at this year's U.S. Open.

Forget what the experts say -- Tiger Woods is still the favorite to win the 2010 U.S. Open.

Las Vegas sportsbooks have Tiger Woods as a 4-1 favorite to win this week's tournament at Pebble Beach Golf Links, followed closely by Phil Mickelson at 5-1. Lee Westwood is the third choice at 10-1, according to Chuck Esposito, casino operations manager at the Tropicana Hotel in Las Vegas.

That means that a $1 bet on Woods will pay $4 if he wins the tournament. It sounds like short odds, but Esposito said 4 to 1 is actually a value bet for Woods at a major.

"That's not short on him," Esposito said. " At a major, he's usually even money or even laying money at 5 to 6 or 5 to 7."

Woods was a 4-to-1 favorite at this year's Masters, which was his first event following his sex scandals and ensuing five-month layoff. Woods finished tied for fourth at the Masters, and his inconsistent play since then has most golf observers calling Mickelson, not Woods, the favorite at Pebble.

Esposito said that casinos set their odds based on how they think the public will bet, which doesn't always match the so-called experts' picks.

"We're putting Woods as the favorite because that's the way we see the public viewing the tournament," Esposito said. "If his odds are too high, you'd see an abundance of Tiger action. We're trying to put a number up that will draw some good two-way action.

After Westwood (10 to 1), the other favorites are Ernie Els (12 to 1), Padraig Harrington (15-1), Jim Furyk (18 to 1), Steve Stricker (18 to 1) and Retief Goosen (20 to 1).

Els opened as the third favorite at 8 to 1, but has fallen to 12 to 1. Meanwhile, odds have dropped considerably on Dustin Johnson (opened 35 to 1, now 20 to 1), K.J. Choi (opened 50 to 1, now 20 to 1), Hunter Mahan (opened 50 to 1, now 30 to 1) and Kenny Perry (opened 100 to 1, now 65 to 1). The field is 10 to 1, which was the smart bet last year when Lucas Glover won at Bethpage.

Esposito said he expects the total wagering on the U.S. Open to be in the high six figures industry-wide, maybe even seven figures if Woods is in contention on Sunday. It won't, however, generate the most excitement in the sportsbooks. That honor goes to the World Cup, for which fans camp out with their vuvuzelas and flags for the best seats at Las Vegas casinos.

"The World Cup crowds have been phenomenal," Esposito said. "It's amazing to see how big it's become. People are waving flags, hooting and hollering, and when a goal is scored, it's like an eruption in the room."

Captains Fred Couples and Greg Norman announced their picks for the 2009 Presidents Cup on Tuesday.

As expected, Couples chose U.S. Open champion Lucas Glover and Hunter Mahan for the U.S. team. Greg Norman made a more surprising choice, going with fellow Australian Adam Scott, who has missed the cut in 10 of the 18 tournaments he's played in this year and has only one top 10 finish. Norman's second choice was Japan's young phemon Ryo Ishikawa.

"Maybe somewhat unexpected. Obviously it's been a tough year," Scott said. "But I really am humbled. I feel like I can contribute points and contribute in the team room, as well."

Norman backed up his Scott selection. "When you look back a year ago, Adam was the No. 3 player in the world. So everybody goes through a slump," Norman said. "At the end of the day, he's got the playing skills, and as Adam said, the team camaraderie, what he can bring to the locker room, the support he gives to the other players, the connection and the experience that he's had playing on the Presidents Cup team. He was really a logical choice."

What gave 17-year-old Ishikawa the edge? "Enthusiasm," Norman said. Citing Ishikawa's credentials, ability to stand up to Tiger and experience dealing with crowds of media, the International captain said, "You've got to have faith in that ability, and I have a lot of faith in him."

Glover played on the 2007 U.S. Presidents Cup team, which won by five points. Mahan was part of the successful 2008 U.S. Ryder Cup team.

Couples struggled with his picks, also considering players like Dustin Johnson and Brian Gay, but in the end went with his gut. "For Hunter Mahan and Lucas, I think it's a no-brainer, I really do," he said. "I chose the two guys, and that's the toughest thing I'll have to do the whole time, and hopefully they'll go to San Francisco and play well."

The rest of the U.S. Team consists of: Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Steve Stricker, Kenny Perry, Zach Johnson, Stewart Cink, Sean O'Hair, Jim Furyk, Anthony Kim and Justin Leonard.

The rest of the International Team is made up of: Geoff Ogilvy, Vijay Singh, Camilo Villegas, Retief Goosen, Ernie Els, Angel Cabrera, Mike Weir, Robert Allenby, Y.E. Yang and Tim Clark.

The Presidents Cup will be played on Oct. 8-11 at Harding Park in San Francisco.
