Masters betting props on board for week include Tiger Woods odds

There will be plenty of prop wagers for bettors to choose from at the sportsbooks this week at the Masters in Augusta.

Tiger Woods won the TOUR Championship last year to show the world that he could still play at an elite level. Woods will be looking for his first major championship since 2008 in the Masters Tournament this weekend.

Tiger is going off at +1400 on the odds to win the Masters at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. But in addition to his odds to win the tournament, there are also a handful of Tiger-related props for his backers to choose from as well.

Will Tiger birdie the first hole and win the Masters? Bettors who want to take a shot on this prop will get a +5000 payout if it comes to fruition. The line on Woods’ lowest completed round at Augusta is set at 68.5 with the OVER 68.5 a slight underdog at +100 to the UNDER 68.5 at -130. Woods is a slight favorite at -130 to have OVER 11.5 holes with a bogey or worse in the tournament while the UNDER 11.5 would pay out +100.

Woods is a -500 favorite on the Masters betting props to make the cut (and +350 not to make the cut). His odds of making the top ten are +160 (to -195 that he will not) and his odds of finishing in the top five are +350 (to -500 that he will not).

Moving on to some general tournament props at online betting sites, will the leader after 54 holes go on to win the tournament? YES and NO are each going off at -115. Will the cut line be set at OVER 148.5 strokes (-105) or UNDER 148.5 strokes (-125)? How many players in the tournament will finish under par? The total is set at 17.5 with the OVER paying out +105 and the UNDER 17.5 paying -135. Last year saw 27 players finish the Masters under par.

Bettors looking for some long shots with big paydays might consider betting that someone will record all four rounds in the 60’s or that a new course record of 62 or lower will be set. Both of these props would pay +1400 if they hit and are heavy chalk favorites of -4000 not to hit. The odds of a wire-to-wire winner or a rookie winner both pay +1000 on a YES and -2000 on a NO.
