You know what happens when you come to a golf course you’ve won at seven times after picking up four PGA Tour wins already in a season? You’re the favorite. The heavy, heavy favorite.
That’s Tiger Woods this week at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational at Firestone. Woods, coming off a T-6 finish at the British Open, is a 4-to-1 favorite to add an eighth title at Firestone with Open champion Phil Mickelson coming in second by the oddsmakers at 12-to-1.
This week kicks off a great run on the PGA Tour, with Bridgestone happening this week and the PGA Championship happening the week after. It’s also one of those rare times when Tiger plays the week before a major, hoping the momentum from a golf course that has produced some great Tiger moments in the past can propel him to a major slump buster.
Check out the rest of the odds after the jump and let us know who you like in some of those spots.
