Will Tiger Woods win a PGA Tour major championship in 2020?
Based off BetMGM‘s golf betting odds, I analyze Tiger’s best opportunities to win along with some of the best potential golf betting lines to cash in on Tiger’s play this year. This piece is part of a new SportsbookWire series, which will look at the PGA Tour’s biggest names and their chances of winning a major championship in 2020.
Tiger Woods’ 2019 PGA Tour highlights
- Won Masters Tournament
- T-9 Memorial Tournament
- Won Zozo Championship
Odds to win a major in 2020
| Name | Official World Golf Ranking | Odds | Last PGA Tour win | Last major |
| Brooks Koepka | 1 | +200 | July 2019 | 2019 PGA Championship |
| Rory McIlroy | 2 | +250 | Nov. 2019 | 2014 PGA Championship |
| Jon Rahm | 3 | +350 | Jan. 2018 | NA |
| Justin Thomas | 4 | +450 | Oct. 2019 | 2017 PGA Championship |
| Dustin Johnson | 5 | +200 | Feb. 2019 | 2016 US Open |
| Tiger Woods | 6 | +400 | Oct. 2019 | 2019 Masters |
| Patrick Cantlay | 7 | +500 | June 2019 | NA |
| Justin Rose | 8 | +400 | Jan. 2019 | 2013 US Open |
| Xander Schauffele | 9 | +500 | Jan. 2019 | NA |
| Tommy Fleetwood | 10 | +600 | NA | NA |
Going purely by the Official World Golf Ranking measure, Tiger’s about where he should be. Johnson seems to be an outlier going into his fourth year since his last major. Alternatively, Thomas offers a slightly better value.

Tiger Woods’ best chance in 2020
| Event | 2020 Venue | Best career result | Odds |
| Masters | Augusta National | Won (1997, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2019) | +1000 |
| PGA Championship | TPC Harding Park | Won (1999, 2000, 2006, 2007) | +1400 |
| U.S. Open | Winged Foot | Won (2000, 2002, 2008) | +1400 |
| Open Championship | Royal St. George’s | Won (2000, 2005, 2006) | +2500 |
Tiger’s best chance is at Augusta National, where he’ll be looking to win back-to-back green jackets and tie Jack Nicklaus’ all-time record of six Masters victories. A win would also move Woods within two of Nicklaus’ record 18 major championships.
Woods’ best value to win a major is at The Open. It’s one of the two major championships he has won just three times. Two of those victories were at St. Andrews with the other at Royal Liverpool. Tiger placed T-4 at the 2003 Open Championship at Royal St. George’s. He didn’t participate the last time it was at the venue in 2011.
Will Tiger Woods win a major in 2020?
Woods ignited the golf world last April when he won his fifth green jacket. Now, it’s impossible to count him out until the day he finally steps away. He opened his season with a victory at the Zozo Championship in Japan, and he’s likely to tailor the rest of his schedule around what gives him the best chances of closing in on Nicklaus’ all-time record.
Instead of betting him to win “a major” I would bet him individually at both the Masters and The Open.
