Tiger Woods finally got that winning feeling again for the first time in five years as he drove his way to the TOUR Championship title on the weekend in Atlanta. It has been hailed as one of the great sporting comebacks because at one point he said that he may not even be able to play competitive golf again after having undergone so many back surgeries.
But on the weekend he took the TOUR Championship, his first title since 2013, winning by two strokes and the scenes on the 18th green were incredible. He was followed by massive crowds which spilled onto the green as he completed his title-winning round and the golfer admitted that he struggled not to cry on that final hole.
Ryder Cup insights
His return to top form comes at a perfect time for Team USA as they take on Team Europe in the 2018 Ryder Cup later this week out in France. That injection of having a fit and firing Tiger Woods in the team could be a big factor in morale and confidence of Team USA. They are are looking for their first away win in the Ryder Cup since 1993. The USA have been supported into 5/6 odds with bet365 to win the 2018 Ryder Cup* (betting odds taken on September 24th, 2018 at 6:40 pm).
Tiger Woods himself has been cut from 9/1 down to 13/2 to be the Top American at the Ryder Cup 2018* (betting odds taken on September 24th, 2018 at 6:40 pm) because of the extra support which has come in for him following Sunday’s success. Without a shadow of a doubt “Tiger Mania” has reared its head again and just his win has given punters more belief in a win for Team USA.
Woods to win another Major
After looking increasingly likely that we would never see Tiger Woods get another Major title, the hype has swung totally the opposite way and now he is at 8/1 odds in from 12/1 to win the 2019 Masters. Woods is at 7/2 to win a Major during 2019* (betting odds taken on September 24th, 2018 at 6:40 pm). Currently, Woods stands three back of Jack Nicklaus’s record of 18 career Major wins.
Woods to get 2 or more Majors during 2019 can be supported at 16/1 odds* (betting odds taken on September 24th, 2018 at 6:40 pm). It is remarkable the level of support that was there for him on Sunday on that 18th green. This is a legend of the game and he has given a glimmer of hope to his fans that he isn’t done yet.
