Will Tiger master the pressure at masters? | IXGAMES
Tiger Woods has admitted that he will be nervous about how the fans at the Masters will treat him in his first tournament since a sordid sex scandal changed the public perception of him forever: “It would be nice to hear a couple claps here and there,” he said. At Bodog, the online gaming industry’s leader for more than 15 years, you can bet on how Tiger himself will react on his first hole of competitive golf since November of last year. For example, will Woods be able to overcome his nerves and keep his drive on the first hole in the fairway? Bodog’s golf odds make that a -200 favorite. What will Tiger shoot on his first hole? He would help make fans forget his off-the-course problems right away with a birdie, but Bodog sportsbook lists par as the overwhelming 1/2 favorite. Get all your Tiger Woods props at Bodog. It seems improbable that Woods’ lowest-scoring round at this year’s Masters would come in the first round considering he hasn’t played in a tournament in six months. And betting on Tiger to shine in Round 1 at Bodog doesn’t seem like a wise wager at Bodog’s bookie because Woods has never – repeat, never – broken 70 at Augusta in the first round. History shows Tiger’s best round comes on Saturday at the Masters, otherwise known as “moving day.” Since Woods’ historic win in 1997, Tiger shoots on average a 68.9 in Round 3 at the Masters. Perhaps Bodog’s most unique Tiger prop for the Masters is whether at some point during the tournament he is heckled while addressing the ball and steps away to gather himself. Tiger’s caddie, Steve Williams, says he expects his boss to get a good reception at Augusta. And indeed the crowds there are usually well-behaved and respectful because it’s such a hard and expensive ticket to get. Plus, Augusta officials will kick people out for even the smallest transgression. But it seems likely that Tiger hears some heckles during the tournament (will one of his mistresses be in the crowd?), and he has a history of reacting badly to distractions. Will the “new” Tiger be able to keep his focus on the course? Bet on that with Bodog’s golf odds. Bodog has it all covered with dozens of PGA golf props available on Tiger Woods.
