2011 US Masters Golf Betting – Cash in on Tiger, Tiger Woods Masters Specials Odds

Bookmark and Share by Eric Williams

So what Tiger Woods clearly isn’t the golfer he used to be when he was routinely winning majors en route to what looked like a sure-fire 20 career majors, but that doesn’t mean that BetUS golf betting enthusiasts can’t cash in on Tiger Woods when he takes to the course at Augusta National for the 2011 Masters Tournament.

Thanks to my in-depth analysis and handicapping analysis, BetUS golf bettors will get a great idea of just what they can expect from Tiger Woods when the 75th annual Masters Golf Tournament gets underway on Thursday.

Woods has won four Masters titles in 16 career starts while making the cut 15 times, including consecutive titles in 2001 and 2002 after winning it all in his initial appearance as a professional back in 1997.

Woods however, hasn’t won at Augusta since 2005 and is currently working on the third swing change in his career. The 2011 Masters Tournament field consists of 93 professionals and six amateurs from a total of 22 countries.

Tiger Woods 1st Hole Score

Par -200
Bogey +275
Birdie +400
Double Bogey or Worse +1500
Eagle +8000

Analysis: Woods will be playing in Group 16 along with veteran golfers Graeme McDowell and Robert Allenby and I’m going to say that Woods nails a par on Hole No. 1, The Tea Olive is a par 4 that’s a comfortable 445 yards from the tee. The dogleg right plays uphill and Woods could even record a birdie here as the approach shot is the most important on this hole – and a strength for Woods, who can still hit it a ton.

I’d play the ‘Par’ pick here first and foremost as Woods may choose to play it safe, but a Birdie is more than possible on this hole.

2011 Masters Pick: Par

Opening Tee Shot to Hit Fairway

On the Fairway -200
Not on the Fairway +150

Analysis: The fairway on the opening hole is as wide as a football field (or so it seems on the fly-by) and there’s just no way Woods misses the fairway to start his bid to win his first major since taking the U.S. Open back in 2008.

2011 Masters Pick: On the Fairway

Tiger Woods to Make the Cut

Yes -800
No +425

Analysis: C’mon people, I don’t care whether you love him or loathe him, Woods has missed the cut just once in 16 starts and almost assuredly won’t miss the cut here in this ‘lock’ selection.

2011 Masters Pick: No

Tiger Woods – Lowest Completed Round Shot

Over 68½ Strokes +120
Under 68½ Strokes -150

Analysis: Woods has not shot a single round under 68 in his last five Masters appearances and with the changes he’s been going through the past 18 months, I just don’t see it happening!

2011 Masters Pick: Over 68½ Strokes

Will Tiger Woods Lead at the End of Any Round

Yes +350
No -500

Analysis: Pressure busts pipes – and Woods has got a ton on him right now. Sure, he could lead after a round or two on this difficult course, but I’m just so skeptical right now, I just can’t see it happening. I like the No here BetUS online golf betting members!

2011 Masters Pick: No
