TIGER ODDS: Tiger Woods has not played since winning the U.S. Open on June 16, and even he doesn’t know when he will return. But British-based William Hill already has installed him as the 9-to-4 favorite to win the Masters.
The bookmaker lists Phil Mickelson at 10-to-1 winning the Masters, followed by Sergio Garcia at 12-to-1 and Padraig Harrington, going for his third straight majors, at 14-to-1.
One other betting option on Woods is how many majors he will win in 2009. William Hill offers 2-to-1 odds that Woods will win at least one major, 11-to-4 that he will win two majors, 14-to-1 that he will win three and 33-to-1 odds that he will win them all. In other words, the odds of Woods winning the Grand Slam are equivalent to Adam Scott winning the Masters.
William Hill also has 11-to-10 odds that Woods will not win any major this year. All of this is predicated on him playing the Masters.

yep, can't bet against him.
Even though he can't take full swings, that may have changed by now, but he has been practicing his chipping and putting for quite some time and that part of his game should be on point when he returns. I have a feeling he is taking full swings by now anyway. This can be scary since he was adjusting his swing to account for the knee, now he should be able to go to a more well balanced swing. We will see.

He has an excellent chance of winning the Masters every time he plays. He has the course "wired" and he should be in good physical condition by that time. Of course ; any sign of the slightest limp and it will become the greatest feat of all time when he wins ! Just yankin yer chains.........well ...maybe not.

We will see. IMO, I think they are holding back on his status. I have a feeling he is ahead of what we are hearing and will come back "Real Strong" !!! Could be wrong, but his mental game will take him there !!!!

Yep, I agree. I think Tiger is being very hush hush on his progress. A guy like that with the shape he is in and the work ethic he has, he is bound to be ahead of schedule. They joked on Approach about Tiger coming back for Torrey Pines, it would not surprise me one bit.

If memory serves me correctly...................Elin may be due right around Torry, or there-abouts.
