Tiger Woods, the world’s top-ranked golfer who has not won a major championship since the 2008 U.S. Open, will head to the first tee as the clear-cut favorite in Thursday’s opening round of the Masters Tournament in Augusta, Ga.
Woods, the PGA Tour’s only three-event winner this season, has been a near-unanimous selection among oddsmakers around the globe and has been assigned 5/2 odds of winning by Bovada Sports Book (www.Bovada.lv).
Rounding out the website’s top five favorites are Rory McIlroy (8/1), Phil Mickelson (10/1), Justin Rose (20/1) and Charl Schwartzel (22/1).
John Peterson, a Fort Worth native who won the 2011 NCAA individual championship while competing for LSU, has been assigned 500/1 odds to win in his Masters debut. Peterson, 23, is a Fort Worth Paschal graduate who earned his spot in the Masters field by finishing tied for fourth at the 2012 U.S. Open.
The player with Texas connections given the most favorable odds this week is Hunter Mahan (40/1), who moved from Colleyville to Dallas in the off-season.
Below is a look at the individual odds assigned to all Masters competitors heading into Thursday’s opening round:
