Tiger Woods to have the lowest accumulative score for the 4 Majors.
I think this is a certainty. Skybet went 6-1, Coral 4s, unfortunately no one else priced it up, and it seems very fu8kin difficult to get a decent bet on with Skybet.
Back in Tigers prime years he won this nearly every year. But to take amore recent look at it, including some of his good and not so good years, in the last 9 years he has finished top twice. That being in 2005 and 2007. He missed a cut in 2006, which disqualifies a player from this market. He was also miles clear after the US Open in 2008, until injury curtailed his season.
In Tigers bad years2009-2012, he would have won it easily in 2009 had he not missed the cut in British Open, finished 2nd in 2010, missed a cut in 2011 when he was playing awful, and finished 5th in 2012. Last year, when starting to find his form, he fin 6th.
At first glance it seems he has an awful lot of players to beat, and so why the short price? In truth he really only has about 5 or 6 real challengers for this. There is a cut od the top 50 and ties in the Masters, so that limits the field straight away. Tiger does not miss the cut at Augusta.
On average, only about 10 players make the cut in all 4. Yes Tiger himself has missed the odd one, but there have been very valid excuses for them. This year there will be no excuses.
The new Tiger seems to excel on courses where he has played well or won previously. This is what makes this a massive year for him in his quest for Jacks record, and what makes him a cracking bet to top the table. You wont be able to kick him out of the top 5 at augusta. Pinehurst the venue for the US Open, he finished 2nd in 2005. Hoylake for the British Open suited him down to a tee when winning in 2006, and Valhalla where we go for the USPGA also has happy memories having won there in 2001.
Throw in the fact that he now looks to be back in 2005/2006 form, with 5 wins last year, and you wonder who is going to stop him. Realistically only Adam Scott, Stenson or someone like G Mac or Zach have a chance. Rory, Phil, serg, Rose, Luke......they seem to always miss one cut, or have one complete mare. Tiger wont, not on these tracks. He is finding it hard to win one, but he will never have a better chance than this year, and I would be very surprised if he was outside the top ten in any. That will win this on the bridle.
The chance of a missed cut is sweet **** all, but it will help eliminate most others along the way.
If you can get on , and have a few spare bob, then do. You will have a while to eait to collect, but collect you will!!
If I could fast forward to August, I would take anything over 7-4, so 6s is a great bet, and a great interest for the season.

A good bet the 6s gone now. Even during the latter half of 2013 when he wasnt winning Tiger was in contention in most tournaments. Just hate leaving money with a layer for so long.

Agree a very good bet,maybe Stenson looks the danger to it, other slight worry would be Tiger getting injured, getting older now and starting to collect the battle scars in recent years, all in all as you said looks a fair bit overpriced and best of luck with it.
