After breaking his 924 day drought by winning the Arnold Palmer Invitational this morning, Tiger Woods has roared into favourtism to win the US Masters with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au – the 14-time major winner now heads the betting at $4.50.
Woods was on the third line of betting at $7.00 behind Phil Mickelson and Rory McIlroy in early March. Mickelson and McIlroy have drifted from $4.20 and $4.33 respectively out to $11 and $5.50.
Woods was also priced at $1.60 to not win a major in 2012 but that has drifted out to $1.81 while Woods winning one major has shortened into $2.52 from $3.22.
“Is it too early to say he’s back? Most of Tiger’s fellow pros will be feeling a little uneasy after seeing him win the Arnold Palmer just a fortnight out from the US Masters,” Sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes said.
Adam Scott is the leading Aussie contender for the US Masters, on the sixth line of betting at $24 while Jason Day is priced at $41.
