Third Master Question: How Is Tiger Going To Play?
/We're about to be hit with a bunch of Masters preview stories and a boatload of Tiger talk. So as the bookies make him the favorite, it'd be nice to think ahead a bit and make some completely useless predictions about Tiger's play based on little fact or inside knowledge about his game. (That said, I find it astonishing he's been installed as the favorite when he hasn't teed it up since November and by most honest accounts is said to be understandably rusty.)
The bookies are also offering some bizarre bets.
“We’ve got a whole host (of markets), the funnies around to the serious,” Ladbrokes spokesman Nick Weinberg said. “Obviously, (we’ve) priced him up to win the major, to miss the cut, to have a fight with a fan on the first tee, to kiss an anonymous blonde – which doesn’t include (John) Daly, we point out.”
Despite any off-the-course problems, both Adams and Weinberg said that bettors will stand behind Woods with their money.
“He could have 10 years off the sport and there’d be punters backing him,” Weinberg said. “Even a 50 percent-75 percent Tiger Woods should have more than enough to see off the field.”
But I'm curious how you all would wager (if you were to succumb to a life of sin). Personally, I'd have to think about a bet where he's missing the cut, though Tiger knows the course so well he could probably get around there in 144 with one arm tied behind his back.
Your predictions please.
