Because so many bettors are absolute idiots. At Harrah's properties you can find futures odds on who will be the leading money earner on the PGA Tour in 2011; despite currently residing in 99th place and obviously not intending to play more than a handful of tournaments, Woods is currently the even-money favorite. He's the best fade in the business right now.
Very simple. It is the Masters at Augusta National where Tiger ALWAYS plays well. If you recall, last year the Masters was his first tournament after all the hoopla with his breakup and he still finished tied for 4th. He will finish top 5 again this year and possibly win, thats why he is the favorite...
His swing is a mess, his putter has the yips, he stunk up Dubai and Doral, courses he eats up easier than Augusta, and now all of a sudden he's going to fold his arms, blink and nod his head like Barbara Eden in Jeannie, and poof, he's magically going to win the Masters?
Not bloody likely.
