The golf world is astir and the sportsbook is open on this year's Grand Slam winner. Could Tiger beat the other favourites like Phil Mickelson (odds to win the Masters 8/1, he has taken his place as the world's No. 1 golfer and is certainly very popular around the world. To pull of a modern day Grand Slam, a golfer has to win four major tournaments and even Tiger admits that that is a tough call. Sportsbook makers are pretty confident in his abilities and have given him a 1/1 odds to win the year's first major and 9/1 to capture all four.
Golf is not a newcomer to sports betting and this year the sportsbook is hot and heavy. Phil Mickelson is in top form and nobody knows Augusta better than he. So far this year he has won the Northern Trust Open and had three top-10 finishes. Those interested in the sportsbook should check up on Mickelson’s form before backing him at Augusta.
