Tiger Woods is back but the oddsmakers obviously believe he has lost his touch. Woods is an 18-1 long shot to win the 2014 British Open at Sportsbook.com.
Ahead of Woods with shorter odds: Adam Scott with 12-1, Rory McIlroy 15-1, Justin Rose 15-1, Henrik Stenson at 18-1 and Martin Kaymer at 18-1.
Tiger Woods is looking to win his first Major win since the US Open in 2008. But there are doubts as to whether he can win at Royal Liverpool.
Woods competed in the Quicken Loans National last month and shot rounds of 74 and 75 but went on to miss the competition. That was his first and only appearance on the golf course since undergoing back surgery on March 31.
“Playing at Congressional was a big boost to me,” Woods said. “The fact that I was able to go at it that hard and hit it like that with no pain. It wasn’t like that the previous times I had played.
“Playing at both the Honda and Doral, I did not feel well. But to come back and be able to hit the ball as hard as I was able to hit it, [and] I’ve gotten stronger since then. I’ve gotten more explosive. I’ve gotten faster since then. That’s going to be the case. I’m only going to get stronger and faster, which is great.”
