  • The 86th edition of the Masters tees off Thursday, April 7th
  • Tiger Woods has been practicing in an effort to make his comeback at this year’s event
  • At 40-1 to claim his sixth green jacket, is there any value on betting Tiger?

Say what you will about Tiger Woods, but the man knows how to create an enormous amount of buzz and excitement wherever he goes. In the last couple of days, videos and reports have surfaced about his efforts to tee it up in the 86th edition of the Masters, playing an 18-hole practice round with his son Charlie on Tuesday.

Should he compete, it would mark yet another notch on a career full of comebacks, this time after his gruesome leg injury following a car crash in February of 2021. He hasn’t played a golf tournament since a T-38th showing at the 2020 Masters, which was played in November due to COVID-19 changing the schedule.

Even though he hasn’t struck a golf ball in PGA Tour action in nearly a year and a half, oddsmakers are bracing for the crush of fans plunking down their cash on El Tigre to win. His odds currently stand at +4000 to outlast the field. Should you bet him at those odds?

Will Tiger Woods Tee It Up?

While we don’t yet know if Tiger Woods will be competing at the Masters, we know he is exhausting all efforts to make it happen. Augusta National is known as an extremely undulating and hilly course, which won’t help Tiger’s cause as he attempts to be able to walk 72 holes, let alone compete at the highest level against his peers.

He sent twitter ablaze on Tuesday, flying to the course to get in a practice round with his son Charlie and his great friend Justin Thomas, further adding fuel to the fire that he will be all systems go.

Should Tiger be expected to survive the grueling test and take down his contemporaries? Logically, no, but if there’s any golfer who has defied logic time and again it’s Tiger.

Tiger’s Masters Odds Movement

Tiger Woods’ odds to win the Masters were as high as +6600 at some books, but they’ve shortened to as little as +4000 due to the excitement caused by him practicing at his home course, the Medalist. In a since deleted video, he could be seen ripping a drive, as he walked the track with caddy Joe LaCava.

Despite the temptation to splash the cash on Woods, he simply hasn’t had the reps to realistically expect a run at the title – this is a man that after the 2008 US Open, hadn’t won a major in eleven years until his Masters triumph in 2019. If anyone can do it, Tiger would be it, but you’re better off placing your money elsewhere.
