Schedule, Tee Times, Golf Odds For Tiger Woods And The Field At Augusta National

The Masters is nearly here and the golfing world is abuzz about Tiger Woods’ return to the sport at Augusta National on Thursday.

After practicing for the past few days, Woods revealed on Tuesday that he’s planning to tee off at the first major of the season tomorrow.

The five-time Masters champion is expected to be one of 91 participants in the field this week. Despite his success at this event—no active golfer has won more green jackets than Woods—he’s far from the favorite this year.

That distinction belongs to Jon Rahm, the surging Spaniard who broke through and won his first major at the U.S. Open last year. He’s looking to add more hardware to his collection at a tourney he’s never finished better than fourth at.

Despite his lack of victories at Augusta National, there’s arguably no one playing better golf going into April. Rahm has placed in the top-10 in four of his eight events this year, only once finishing outside the top-21.

The 27-year-old is currently +1300 to win the 2022 Masters based on FanDuel’s golf odds. That puts him slightly ahead of a crowded group of front-runners that also includes Cameron Smith (+1400), Justin Thomas (+1400), Scottie Scheffler (+1600), Dustin Johnson (+1600) and Jordan Spieth (+1700).

There’s plenty of notables further down the list as well. Reigning Masters winner Hideki Matsuyama is going off at +4200, giving him rather long odds of becoming the first repeat champion since Woods accomplished the feat in 2001-02.

Rory McIlroy, still missing a victory at Augusta National to cap off a career Grand Slam, is +2000. Colin Morikawa, the 25-year-old sensation who won the 2020 PGA Championship and 2021 British Open, is 20-1 to win his first green jacket.

Brooks Koepka will be looking to break through and win a Masters after tying for second three years ago. The four-time major champion has +2000 odds this week to accomplish that goal. Viktor Hovland may yet to finish in the top-10 at a major, but the Norwegian is also near the front of the list with the same 20-1 odds.

Woods is only tied for the 22nd-best odds of winning at Augusta National this year. He’s been installed as a +5500 long shot, odds that are equal to those of Louis Oosthuizen and Daniel Berger at the 2022 Masters.

With that in mind, here’s a list of odds for all the top contenders:
