903 Tiger Woods (1st Rnd) -145 <small>vs</small> S.Cink/J.M.Singh (1st Rnd)

Does that mean he has to beat Cink and JM Singh?

I think so. Maybe all three are playing in the same group and he has to beat them both because they're playing together. I'm guessing because I haven't looked at the pairings.

They are all in the same grouping. I assume the bet just means he has to win the grouping today.

If he is -1, Cink is -1, and J Singh is +1, for example, I assume this is a push?

I think he has to beat them both. According to the pairings, Tiger tees off at 1:52 PM with Stewart Cink and Jeev Milkha Singh.

At European books it would be settled under dead heat rules.

It means he must beat both players. If he beats one and ties one, it should be a push but if he ties one and loses to one, it is a loss.
