Tiger has long excelled in par 4 scoring. While his putting has been wildly inconsistent over the last year, the greens of Augusta National are a test unlike any other, and he has aced it many times before.
Best bets, predictions
- To win the Masters: +4000
The profit margin is high enough to warrant a wager on Tiger to win his second straight green jacket. No one has gone back-to-back here since he did so in 2001-2002, but there’s no fun in a total fade.
- Woods and Phil Mickelson both to make the cut (+110)
Woods hasn’t missed the cut at the Masters since 1996 after finishing as the low amateur in 1995. He won the next year and has never looked back. Mickelson has won the Masters three times with 12 other top 10s. He last missed the cut in 2016 but finished T-18 last year.
- Top 20: +125
The top-20 placing is still offering plus-money with a wide margin of insurance. Woods finished outside the top 20 just three times in 20 appearances since 1997.
- Top former winner: +550
Patrick Reed (+300), Bubba Watson (+350) and Adam Scott (+500) all have lower odds than Tiger in this pool. While Reed and Watson, especially, are entering in much better form and are both +2800 to win outright, Woods is a strong value as he shoots for the green jacket record.
- Lowest score over 72 holes – Group D: +375
Woods is grouped with Collin Morikawa (+275), Wolff (+300), Tommy Fleetwood (+400) and Louis Oosthuizen (+450). The first two are both making their Masters debut and no one has won here in their first attempt since Fuzzy Zoeller in 1979.
