Tiger Woods has returned to competitive golf this year with the TGL, the high-tech golf league he co-founded with Rory McIlroy. 

Woods is expected to play in the 2025 Masters in April at Augusta National. It would be his 27th appearance in the year's first major, an event he has won 5 times. 

Woods underwent his 6th career back surgery in September. He no longer carries the buzz at sportsbooks that he carried just a few years back. Woods is +20000 at DraftKings to win the 2025 Masters at DraftKings. Those are the longest pre-Master odds of his pro career. He stood at +13000 to win at DraftKings and +16000 at FanDuel last year before the tournament. 

Woods, 49, Woods hasn't played in a major or PGA Tour event since the 2024 Open Championship. 

Woods made his 24th consecutive cut in the 2024 Masters before he finished last (60th). He carded a 77 in his 100th round of tournament play on Sunday. 

How much would you have made betting $100 on Tiger each year he has played in the Masters to date? Woods has earned five Masters green jackets in 24 tournament appearances as a pro. As one might expect, his price was significantly steep in three of those wins.

The answer is a whopping $400. We'll show you the math below.

In 2023, golf betting data showed a sober approach toward Tiger. A majority of the handle (51.8% at BetMGM to win the Masters. He withdrew before during the third round. 

Woods won his first Masters 28 years ago. His final score of 18-under 270 in 1997 was the lowest in Masters history at the time. Woods' 12-shot victory was the Masters’ most lopsided, as well. It electrified the sports world and launched him into superstardom.

Woods was nearly killed in a one-car wreck near Los Angeles leaving the Genesis Invitational at Riviera Golf Course in Los Angeles in 2021. Woods suffered serious injuries and underwent extensive physical rehabilitation. It was initially believed Woods would have trouble walking again, never mind playing a major tournament at a competitive level.

Looking at the numbers, if you'd bet $100 on Woods to win each time he played the Masters as a pro, based on the line closest to the start of the tournament, you would be up a not-so-whopping $400 since 1996.

In Woods’ five Masters wins, he went off at +800 (1997), +150 (2001), +200 (2002), +350 (2005) and +1400 (2019). That leaves you with $2,900 in winnings after wagering $2,300 over the past quarter century.

A TICKET UNLIKE ANY OTHER: Masters Ticket Lottery Odds

Hardly the stuff of betting legend, or of golf greatness.

But a profitable and fun ride for sure.

Woods has delivered multiple Masters memories. Some are “better than most.” His roll-in, stop, and drop-in chip shot on 16 in 2005 continues to find its way on the air and across the internet and social media every year. In 2019, Woods avoided the water on the 12th hole during the final round, only to watch those in pursuit splash and crash. He would go on to beat Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka, and Xander Schauffele by one shot.

And pay off at +1400.
