Tiger Woods is the new oddsmakers favorite to win 2019 Masters
Tiger Woods isn’t just leading this weekend’s Tour Championship – he’s now the favorite to win the 2019 Masters.
The Westgate SuperBook in Las Vegas shortened his odds from 12-1 to 9-1 on Saturday after Woods extended his lead to 12-under at the Tour Championship.
Dustin Johnson, Rory McIlroy and Jordan Spieth are just behind Woods at 12-1 and Justin Thomas is fifth at 14-1.
Woods shot five-under in Saturday’s third round to extend the lead over Justin Rose and McIlroy who are three shots behind him.
It’s been five years since Woods has won his PGA Tour event – the 2013 WGC-Bridgestone Invitational at Firestone Country Club in Akron, Ohio – and 10 years since his last major win at the U.S. Open in 2008.
Woods has had six top-10 finishes this year, including a runner-up finish at the PGA Championship in August.
