Tiger Woods has been heavily backed to break his five-year major drought in this week’s US PGA after a stunning seven-stroke win in the Bridgestone Invitational.
“Tiger firmed from $4.50 into $4.25 this morning but the punters have come again, he is now into $4 and is a clear favourite for the PGA. The punters love backing Tiger and he is getting into the odds he used to be when he dominated the Majors five and six years ago,” Centrebet’s Michael Felgate said.
Woods is the only player under double-figures at $4 with British Open winner Phil Mickelson second favourite at $15. Aussie Masters winner Adam Scott is on the next line of betting at $19 followed by US Open Champion Justin Rose and defending PGA Champion Rory McIlroy at $23.
“Scott and Mickelson have had some support to beat Tiger but no-one is interested in last year’s winner McIlroy who would struggle to hit the side of a barn at the moment,” Felgate said.
