HUMBLE, Texas – With the official start of Masters week only hours away, Tiger Woods has been supplanted as a betting favorite for Augusta National.
Woods was listed at 100/1 at the Westgate Las Vegas Superbook when odds opened in August, but after a runner-up finish at the Valspar Championship and a T-5 finish at the Arnold Palmer Invitational he became an 8/1 betting favorite in mid-March. Entering the Houston Open, he was one of four co-favorites listed at 10/1.
But with more money rolling on the cusp of the season’s first major, Woods is now listed at 12/1 and behind four other players. Ian Poulter, who won his way into the field in Houston, is listed at 60/1.
Here’s a look at the updated odds, courtesy of the Westgate:
