Someone Lays Down $4,000 Bet On Tiger Woods To Win Masters, Changes Odds

The odds on Tiger winning the Masters have dropped tremendously over the past few weeks.

If for some reason you were on a different planet over the weekend and you missed it, Tiger Woods is back.

Woods finished second at the Valspar Championship on Sunday, a shot behind Paul Casey, which officially launched the golf world into a beloved place, but a place we haven’t seen in quite some time. We had NBC showing every swing, putt, club twirl, stinger, nod to the crowd and basically every blink Woods made on Sunday and all was right in the world for those five or so hours.

As you can imagine, the betting odds for Big Cat winning what would be his fifth green jacket in April have reached insane numbers. As you read this, there is one golfer on the planet with better odds than Woods to win the Masters this year and it’s Dustin Johnson, the №1 player in the world.

According to Bovada, Dustin Johson is sitting with +800 odds to win at Augusta while Woods is right behind him at +900. Justin Thomas has the third best odds at +1000.

One reason Woods’ odds have dropped to such a low number is that someone decided to lay down a smooth $4,000 bet on Tiger last week. Props to that person by the way who reportedly made the bet prior to the weekend action at the Valspar. The odds dropped from 16–1, to 12–1 to 10–1 all in the span of 48 hours or so this past week during his epic performance heading into the final two rounds.

We’re in it, people. We are truly in a magical place. Phil Mickelson won two weeks ago, Justin Thomas is lighting the world on fire every time he tees it up, Dustin Johnson is still Dustin Johnson, both Jordan Spieth and Rory McIlroy can’t hit a golf shot at the moment but they’re due to pop and win and now we have Woods prowling around the course like it’s 2002.

Woods may light Bay Hill on fire this week at the Arnold Palmer Invitation and win by 12, too, and his odds will reach epic proportions.
