Masters 2023: Tiger Woods Betting Preview, Odds, Picks & Predictions

by |

It’s Masters week, the unofficial start of golf season — at least for those of us in the northern parts of the country.

The Masters is the first major of the golf season and arguably the best. Augusta National is a special place — a visually stunning course that tests the mettle of the best players in the world. Augusta requires precision approach shots and a deft touch on pitches and chips. Its lightning-fast greens can make even the best putters in the world look like amateurs.

Scottie Scheffler, the No. 1 player in the world, won his first major at Augusta last year and is among the betting favorites this week, along with Rory McIlroy and Jon Rahm.

As if the world’s greatest golfers taking on arguably the world’s greatest course wasn’t enough, we get some extra spice with some of the prodigal sons of the LIV Tour joining their former colleagues in this week’s field. Players in the Saudi-backed LIV Tour have been banned from playing in PGA Tour events, but they are welcome at Augusta, which means we’ll see former Masters champs Dustin Johnson, Patrick Reed, Sergio Garcia, Bubba Watson and Phil Mickelson.

Welcome to the second annual BettingPros Guide to The Masters. We’re going to drill down on the many wagering opportunities this tournament presents. We’ll take a closer look at the golfers with the best chances of earning the coveted Green Jacket. We’ll examine which bets look like sucker plays and which bets provide better value than a $1.50 pimento cheese sandwich at an Augusta concessions tent.

Tiger Woods Course History

The most dominant active PGA Tour golfer at Augusta National is none other than Tiger Woods. The 47-year-old superstar hasn’t been competing in too many events across the last couple of years but Woods will make his 25th appearance at The Masters in 2023. Woods has won and donned the iconic Green Jacket five times in his career and is chasing Jack Nicklaus to tie the all-time outright wins record at The Masters with a sixth win in 2023. Woods won at Augusta in 1997, 2001, 2002, 2005, and 2019.

Tiger Woods Recent Form

We saw Tiger Woods compete at The Genesis Invitational a few weeks ago, which is the course where he made his PGA Tour debut many years ago. He fared pretty well, logging a T45 finish with two-over-par rounds on Friday and Sunday. He can still hammer the driver and delivers precise ball striking with his irons, but his putter needs to be more consistent to drain birdies and scramble on a difficult course like Augusta National.

Tiger Woods Betting Outlook

We all recall the miraculous win that Tiger Woods pulled off over Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka, and Xander Schauffele at Augusta back in 2019. Woods went nine-under-par in the middle rounds and managed to stay two-under-par in the final round to win his fifth Green Jacket in thrilling fashion. Woods isn’t competing for clout or to have fun, he’s locked in on winning his sixth Masters to tie Nicklaus, so at 66/1 odds for his outright win, it’s worth sprinkling on one of the most consistently dominant players to ever appear at The Masters.

Pick: Tiger Woods Outright Winner (+6600 at BetMGM)
