Why Is Tiger The Favorite To Win The Masters???

[taylor13]

You're a fool if you think Tiger's true chances of winning are 1 in less than 11 and an even bigger one if you think someone doesn't know anything about golf just because they're a 25 handicap (or if, like myself, they haven't played in 15 years). So it's just a matter of chipping and putting? It's that way for every pro. What's he been doing for three weeks? Probably the same thing he's been doing between tournaments since he returned a year ago - and without winning. He knows the course? Most pros do as well. Tiger may recapture the magic and win but the odds are far greater than you think. I'll keep fading him until he wins one - don't look for it to happen this week.

It's blatantly obvious that you are the fool. The ONLY golf tourn tiger cares about are the 4 majors. He almost always plays well in them. If you think course knowledge doesn't help him and Phil more so than others, well I really don't know what to say to you about that, he had a T-4 last year, had hardly practiced for 4 months, was his first time in big public setting since the scandal etc. Dude, there are a lot of ppl that could win this week, but there are 4 that have a better chance than most Phil, Westwood, Tiger and Watney.

If your so confident in your bet, I will take that bet and give you better odds at $-1050.... the offer is there big shot

Tiger Woods 100% lock was gambling last week almost everyday at the Atlantis in Bahamas. I thought he was supposed to be prepping for the Masters. O well

Thanks for the props, Tiger is Masters savvy enough to eke out a top 12 or so finish, but his swing is God knows where, and his putting is yippy.

I play, not well, so I have a little idea.

Yes, he is very masters savy. So is Phil even tho I dnt like him, and so is Westwood. Westwood is due there.

I play, pretty well for a twice a weeker. If you play often enough, you know some weeks it your week. So it may be his week. Putting is the only reason he didn't win at doral. And yes, he chipped about as good as me, which isn't very good, at bay hill. Personally, I believe the greatest short game player in the history of the game, has gotten the short game tuned up in the last 3 weeks, the swing is ready. He could have won 2 tourn already this year if his short game was in tiger form.

The majority of his time this past year has been learning the swing. And its good enough to win right now. Do you think Tiger rolls out to Augusta without fixing his short game? I doubt it.

Bill, I think I've followed like 6 or 7 of your hoops plays and only lost one so props are due. Congrats on your Huskies this year

He has been at practicing at Augusta since Sunday....Anything wrong with gambling and getting a little tail?

He only cares about majors? According to my numbers, from 1996-2009 he won 57/198 non-majors (28.8%) and 14/53 majors (26.4%). So does he care more about majors or is (I mean was) he just a great golfer who kicked butt in majors just like he did everywhere else? Granted, majors' fields are tougher and that obviously accounts for the lower percentage but the fact is that when he was winning majors he was also winning everywhere else; right now he's winning absolutely nothing. As far as your bet, I'm confident enough to already be down at several places.

He is now that he won the cakewalk at Houston and America fell in love with his man boobs again

How many cakewalks has Tiger won lately ?

Your boy knows Bayhill last week too, how did that work out for him, especially the weekend ?

Lefty backs up his title with another epic Sunday shot down the strecth to tie Tiger & Arnie as the 2nd most wins ever (4 wins) at Augusta. Sounds like a winner to me. You better believe I will be there 3 of the 4 days. I do enjoy watching Sunday from my couch tho. The Sunday Badges bring a nice little coin to my pocket, so I usually sell those to some donk that wants to say they were there instead of seeing Golf's greatest major unfold (which I enjoy).

I do miss the old Bell South Classic that was played the week before and most of the big boys would be in it. That was always a cheap ticket for some good golf.

Anyways, if you want to bet of a fav, go Phil. He has owned Augusta in his career (remove some bone-head shots and he would have 5 jackets already). I personally am looking forward to seeing Bubba Watson bend the ball around the pines here in Georgia. Should be a great tourney!

Yep. Tiger does have more than a fighters chance tho. Word.

 

[GoSooners]

The biggest difference between Tiger now and Tiger five years ago is Tiger five years ago could scramble and win a tournament even if he wasn't hitting the ball particually well. He can't do that now, which means he's going to have to find something with his putting/short game this week. Sometimes they get lucky and things just click like they did with Phil last week, who hadn't played all that well by his standards leading up to the Houston Open. But Phil pretty much played himself into golf shape with 8 tournaments played already this season. Tiger has only played 4. So I have my doubts that he's got enough competetive rounds under his belt to be able to put 4 good rounds together.

good lord. have we not heard this before? he changes his swing, it takes awhile for him to come into this super high standard that hacks like you hold him to and no one else (which proves your lack of golf knowledge), he's been getting closer and closer his last few tourn. this is the first major he has been ready for since swing change, he will be ready. not saying he wins or doesnt win, but he will contend and you will sweat your "said bet."

why dont you cut and paste your "said bet" lol...i'd bet you didnt make it, and if you did you are stupid.

i bet on longshots this year
sergio +7000
steve marino 10000
jason day, ross fisher, and ricky barnes 12000
i'll prob add one or two more, all longshots...possibly rory sabbatini and maybe anthony kim

4 players have a good chance...phil, westwood, tiger and watney in that order
20 have a chance the mahan/donald caliber golfers
the rest have little chance....the ones i bet on

Thinking of taking a couple of flyers, Like Watney myself, what do you think of Bubba at 45/1 or better ?

 

[GoSooners]

I've already got Watney at +1500. I'm still looking at a few others. One thing I did notice about Westwood the other day, he looked like he had lost some weight. But that's not always a good thing when it comes to keeping the same swing. Anyway, I wish he had finished higher than 17th in his 4 tournaments this year. But he does have the experience at Augusta. Plus he finished second last year. I'm still looking at a few others. Even the field at +150.

 

[REDEYE]

Got Watney at 18/1 at Bet Phoenix,Bubba 45/1 and Mcilroy 32/1, Mickelson +610 at 5Dimes, looking at Kaymer at 20/1 too

Why don't you post all your "said bets" as well as all other bets you ever made? If you truly believe that Tiger will contend as well as all of your idiocy, 10-1 is available and you should snap it up.

 

[REDEYE]

also bought Donald at 30/1 at Phoenix

Im a Bubba Watson fan myself. With what little I know, I think if he doesn't try to get too cute out there, he has a chance. He moves the ball left and right better than anybody else, which can either help or hurt him. I remember the us open at oakmont a few years ago, when he was in the mix, and just kinda said Fuck it at one point when he muffed a chip shot. He's grown up a lot since then, and the rough is usually minimal at Augusta. If we see a winning score of -10 or so, I think its pretty open for a lot of golfers. If we see a winning score around par, it will be the guys like tiger and Phil, Westwood, and even possibly a short knocker that lays up on all the par 5's like immelman and Johnson did a few years ago

Does anybody have a weather report for Augusta this week and are any windy days in the forecast?

 

[steaktartar]

Augusta, Georgia had some rain and cooler temps last week, but The Weather Channel forecast is looking very favourable.

Sunshine and warmer temperatures will deliver ideal conditions for the 2011 Masters Golf Tournament, so let’s hope this weather forecast stays true.
