2009 Masters Golf Tournament
Why
It does not surprise anyone that Tiger Woods is the Favorite at Augusta National this week now that he is back from his knee injury. With 14 majors victories under his belt, Tiger Woods is listed at +160 odds and the 2009 Masters Golf Tournament Odds Favorite at online sportsbook BetUS.com. This will be the 15th appearance for Woods in the Masters. "I wanted to feel the rush again on the back nine," stated Tiger Woods. "There was a lot of uncertainty over the months upon months of rehab, and it felt great to hit shots in those conditions again. There are no problems with my knee. I know what I can do." Woods holds the Masters Golf Tournament record for aggregate score (270) which Tiger shot in 1997 when he finished –18 and took his first of four green jackets. Woods also set another record that year at August with his margin of victory of 12 strokes in 1997, becoming the youngest Masters winner and the first winner of Asian-American or African-American descent. Woods set a total of twenty Masters records and tied 6 others and went on to win three PGA Tour events that year and was named the PGA Player of the Year, the first golfer to win the award the year following his rookie season.

BetUS.com has Trevor Immelman listed as a +6500 long shot to win the tournament outright. Those looking to back Immelman will receive a huge pay day since every $100 bet will yield $6,500 should the defending champion pull it off again.

It's a tournament that creates a lot of excitement in South Africa." South African Gary Player was the first non-American player to win the Masters Golf Tournament in 1961.
