It’s already the biggest tournament in golf. A storied history, legendary holes, bright pink azaleas and a green jacket at the end. The Masters has plenty of panache on its own. But this week it gained even more with the news that Tiger Woods will be playing in the tournament at Augusta National, which begins at 7:57 a.m. Thursday morning.
The Masters will be Woods’ first tournament since suffering serious injuries in a car crash in February of 2021. And despite his long odds of +4000 to win, the money is pouring in on him at PA online sportsbooks.

Tiger Woods favored among bettors; Jon Rahm odds-on favorite to win 2022 Masters
Hideki Matsuyama won the 2021 Masters. He was +5000 at the start of play and +1600 at the beginning of round 3.
Heading into the 2022 Masters, Matsuyama is not a favorite to repeat, with odds of +3500. Unsurprisingly, Woods has become the favorite among bettors.
According to BetMGM Sportsbook, Woods was leading, by far, in both percentage of tickets and amount wagered as of mid-day Wednesday.
Highest Ticket %:
- Tiger Woods 12.4%
- Justin Thomas 5.7%
- Scottie Scheffler 5.3%
Highest Handle %:
- Tiger Woods 14.8%
- Justin Thomas 7.0%
- Brooks Koepka 6.6%
Needless to say, sportsbooks’ liability is high when it comes to Woods at the Master’s.
At press time, Woods’ odds to win are as high as +5000 at some books. Jon Rahm is the favorite with odds around +1200. Find the best Master’s odds in PA below.
