Tiger Woods is on the prowl for his 16^th major championship this week. 

Woods goes for his fifth PGA Championship victory when the tournament heads to Southern Hills, a month after a disappointing T47 finish in the Masters. 

The latest golf odds have Woods at +6500 with DraftKings to win the second major of the year. The same site has him at +1200 to finish in the top 5 and +600 to nab a top 10 for the weekend.

How well would you have done backing Woods in the PGA Championship in each of his 21 starts over his career? Well, backing the Big Cat here would have left you in a sizable hole if you wagered $100 on him to win each time he played. Woods has returned a total of $1,260 in his four PGA Championship victories. But after betting a total $2,100, you would be stuck in heavy rough down $840. 

A more diverse golf betting strategy is necessary to turn a profit riding with Tiger in pursuit of the Wanamaker Trophy. Woods has three second-place finishes in the PGA Championship, with his most recent coming in 2018. His other two runner-up finishes in this tournament came in 2002 and 2009.

Woods Faces Long Odds In Return To Southern Hills

Oddsmakers on betting sites see little chance for Woods to win again this week. 

The PGA Championship returns to Southern Hills in Tulsa, Oklahoma, 15 years after Woods won it on the same course. In 2007, Woods beat Woody Austin by 2 shots after finishing with an 8-under 272. 

Woods sits around the 25^th pick overall this week, depending on the book. His best value is +7500 at FanDuel. That’s the same price FanDuel oddsmakers have placed on Adam Scott, Louis Oosthuizen, Keegan Bradley and Cameron Young. Justin Thomas, Scottie Scheffler and Jon Rahm are co-favorites at +1200 on various sports betting apps. 

Aside from his runner-up finish four years ago, Woods has struggled in the PGA Championship in the past dozen years. Since 2010, he’s missed the cut in four of his eight starts. He has logged a T11, T28 and T40 when playing into the weekend.
