Tiger Woods didn’t have the greatest start to his PGA Championship Thursday morning, so the folks at FanDuel can breathe easy…for now.

Tiger Woods, after his first major victory in 11 years and first Masters title since 2005, is installed as the favorite for the next two majors, the PGA Championship in May and the U.S. Open in June.

Rory McIlroy is the bookmakers' top choice to complete his career Grand Slam, but American star Dustin Johnson is closing in on him quickly just days before the field tees off at Augusta National. Tiger Woods is near the top of the odds board as well.

Bookmakers have cut Paul Casey’s price to win the Masters on the back of his Valspar Championship success in Florida.

The PGA Tour will now allow sponsorship from gambling companies, though pro golf’s sanctioning body stopped short of allowing pure sportsbooks into its ranks in the U.S. Gambling entities such as casino and daily fantasy sports companies can now serve as sponsors of players and tournaments and official partners of the Tour itself.
