Tiger got off some good shots at last year’s Masters but is he in any shape to even tee it up this year?

I know there’s a Tiger betting frenzy right now.

Despite his withdrawal from Bay Hill, despite his announcement that there is no timetable for his return to golf, Tiger’s listed in the 2017 Masters field and his fans are already betting on him.

Golfweek reports that Tiger is leading the 2017 Masters field in money wagered and number of bets placed at Las Vegas Sportsbooks. Ahead of Dustin Johnson.! Ahead of Jordan Spieth! Ahead of Jason Day!

The odds are fluctuating for the man who’s won 4 green jackets, but at the current 22/1 odds, if Tiger wins some of you are going to make some big money off small wagers. That’s true even if he only finishes in the top 10.

But he’s going to have to get to the first tee. I don’t look for that to happen.

My Prediction: Tiger Will Withdraw from the 2017 Masters
