Will Tiger Woods Return to Professional Golf at The Masters?

Tiger Woods might be primed to make his return at The Masters. Woods has not participated in a PGA Tour event since the November Masters in 2020 as a result of a car accident that nearly ended his career. The greatest golfer of this generation has spent the last 15 months recovering, and he might finally be able to tee off once again. His potential return has set the golf world abuzz, and BetOnline has listed a bevy of props for this weekend’s tournament.

Will Tiger Woods Participate in The Masters?
Yes -650
No +475

There is a lot of optimism that Woods will tee off on Thursday. Fans charted his private plane to the Aiken area last week, and he has been playing practice rounds at Augusta National over the last few days. The rumor is that he has not had many health hiccups, so it’s only fitting that he returns to the site of his last great triumph. Woods came out of nowhere to win the 2019 Masters, claiming a green jacket for the fifth time in his career.

Will Tiger Woods Make the Cut?

Yes -125
No -105

This prop opened with even odds, but the early action has been on Woods to make it to the weekend. That would make the golf world, CBS, and all the sponsors happy considering what Woods means for ratings and interest. Woods is easily the most popular golfer even though he has not taken a shot in over a year.

What Will Tiger Woods Shoot in the First Round?
Over 74.5 -125

Under 74.5 -105

Interestingly, the early action has been on Tiger Woods to shoot three-over or higher on Thursday even though most bettors think he will make the cut. Augusta National Golf Club is one of the most difficult courses to play in the world, and the groundskeepers have done their best to make it tough on players after Dustin Johnson shot -20 at the November Masters. Woods is likely going to struggle in his first round back, so the over is probably the best play.

Will Tiger Woods Withdraw? (Must tee off in First Round for action)
Yes +500
No -900

The ‘No’ feels pretty safe here as Tiger Woods is unlikely to withdraw if he decides to participate in this year’s Masters. Woods will cherish the opportunity to play at one of his favorite courses, and it is the best practice possible for him to have as he still holds out hope he can chase down Jack Nicklaus. The only way he would likely withdraw is if he aggravated an injury.

Tiger Woods’ Finishing Position

Over 35.5

Under 35.5

While the sympathetic play is to take the Over, Woods will likely have a hard time in his return to professional play. He hasn’t gotten any younger over the last year and change, and he is now 46 years old. Woods has had a ton of success at Augusta National over the years, but he finished T32 in 2018 and T38 in 2020.
