A busy sporting week, but as one of the biggest names in golfing history – Tiger Woods is still capable of making the sporting world, and the Bookmakers, sit-up and take notice.<\/p>\n
After a series of back problems, Woods insists he is back to full fitness and he proved that with a top-ten finish at the Hero World Challenge event before Christmas.<\/p>\n
Now he is set to compete in the Farmers Insurance Open – his first full field PGA event since 2015, and despite his lengthy absence from the tour, he is amongst the favourites for the event.<\/p>\n
Such is his popularity, Bookmakers are already running a bit scared and a reporting a host of money coming in for Woods, covering a range of markets.<\/p>\n
“Whilst Tiger may not win this weekend,\u00a0 he is being backed to feature at 20\/1 and is odds-on to make the cut,” said OddsMonkey spokesman Peter Watton.<\/p>\n
“However, the interest odds are for what he will do this season – for instance can he win a 15th major? Well currently he is 6\/1 – but we have been told if he shows any sort of form even as early as this weekend, then that will become a lot shorter very quickly.<\/p>\n
“He is now 22\/1 for the opening major, The Masters – but he was close to 100\/1 for that before his re-appearance in the Bahamas in December.”<\/p>\n
