Are You Sucker Enough To Place A 20-1 Wager Tiger Wins A Major In 2018?
Tiger Woods will unveil the latest version (Tiger 4.0?) of wherever his golf game is presently at the Hero World Challenge next week. Will we watch? Damn right we will.
Of course, the wise guys know a patsy when they see one. Thus, Vegas has posted the preposterous 20/1 odds of Woods winning a major in 2018. Yeah you heard me…preposterous. Bill Speros at Golfweek.com has the details
You also know this isn’t that Vegas believes Woods will actually win one of the big four. These odds are merely reflective of Woods’ always believing fans who are willing to lose money at every turn just for the scant possibility that the old Tiger magically reemerges. This before Woods hits one shot at next week’s Hero.
An extremely fun way to bet on golf.

These odds seem a wee bit generous given the following:
- Woods hasn’t a round of competitive golf since February
- Woods had his fourth back surgery this past April
- Woods hasn’t won a tournament since 2013
- Woods turns 42 on Dec. 30
I’d be more apt to lay a bet at 100/1.
Maybe.
Amazing.
