Here's the latest odds on the Australian Masters this weekend. Is Tiger really worth the investment?
Tiger Woods may be the best golfer in the world but not every punter rates him a certainty to win the Australian Masters with many taking shorts odds about the Tiger being tamed at Kingston Heath this weekend.
Sportingbet Australia is offering top odds of $2.60 about Woods but its CEO Michael Sullivan said punters were rushing to back the rest of the field at odds of $1.45.
“We have taken a lot of bets, including one of $20,000 at $1.45 , that someone other than Woods will be wearing the gold jacket come Sunday afternoon.
“It is a brave move taking $1.45 that the greatest golfer ever won’t defeat this field.
“However, he did blow up in the final round last week and there is a school of thought that the sand belt course won’t suit him.”
Punters are also backing that little known Australian golfer Anthony Painter 's 15 year-old course record of 64 will survive Tiger's attack on Kingston Heath.
“Tiger is a $3.75 chance to break Painter’s record or a $4.50 to equal the mark,” Sullivan said.
“ The Punters have lapped up the $2.00 about Painter’s mark proving too good for Tiger backing it in to $1.50.”
