The Masters sees Tiger Woods attempt to tie Jack Nicklaus’ all-time record of six green jackets with back-to-back victories at Augusta National Golf Club.
Tiger Woods was on his way to play golf with NFL stars Drew Brees and Justin Herbert when he was involved in a one-car accident Tuesday that saw the golf legend hospitalized with leg injuries. Tiger Woods’ Odds: Currently 28/1 The site of Tiger’s third U.S. Open victory in 2008 also stands as one of the greatest golf duels of all time: Woods beat Rocco Mediate in the first hole of a sudden-death playoff after the duo stood tied after four rounds and were still tied after an 18-hole Monday playoff. Even McIlroy, the favorite, has just a 12.5 percent implied probability. At 14-1, Woods’ implied odds of winning the 87-man tournament are 6.67 percent. But there’s no reason to think Woods is even.
A victory will also give him sole possession of the PGA Tour’s all-time wins record at 83.
Below, we look at Tiger Woods’ odds to win the 2020 Masters and make predictions for his most interesting prop bets for the year’s final major.

Tiger has long excelled in par 4 scoring. While his putting has been wildly inconsistent over the last year, the greens of Augusta National are a test unlike any other, and he has aced it many times before.
Best bets, predictions
To win the Masters: +4000The profit margin is high enough to warrant a wager on Tiger to win his second straight green jacket. No one has gone back-to-back here since he did so in 2001-2002, but there’s no fun in a total fade.
Woods and Phil Mickelson both to make the cut (+110)Woods hasn’t missed the cut at the Masters since 1996 after finishing as the low amateur in 1995. He won the next year and has never looked back. Mickelson has won the Masters three times with 12 other top 10s. He last missed the cut in 2016 but finished T-18 last year.
Top 20: +125The top-20 placing is still offering plus-money with a wide margin of insurance. Woods finished outside the top 20 just three times in 20 appearances since 1997.

Patrick Reed (+300), Bubba Watson (+350) and Adam Scott (+500) all have lower odds than Tiger in this pool. While Reed and Watson, especially, are entering in much better form and are both +2800 to win outright, Woods is a strong value as he shoots for the green jacket record.
Lowest score over 72 holes – Group D: +375Woods is grouped with Collin Morikawa (+275), Wolff (+300), Tommy Fleetwood (+400) and Louis Oosthuizen (+450). The first two are both making their Masters debut and no one has won here in their first attempt since Fuzzy Zoeller in 1979.
