Masters 2018 prop bets: Tiger Woods odds options adding intrigue to Augusta this week
Excitement around Tiger Woods playing at a high level comes with plenty of prop betting options at the sportsbooks with the Masters getting underway on Thursday.

Woods is a co-favorite to finish as the Top American in the field at +550 at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. Dustin Johnson is also going off at +550, with other Americans on the list including Justin Thomas (+600), Jordan Spieth (+700), Phil Mickelson (+900), Bubba Watson (+900) and Rickie Fowler (+1100).
Thomas and Spieth are both bigger favorites on the odds to win the Masters than Woods, but the consistent play of Woods of late has some bettors believing he can outlast his fellow countrymen.
Tiger is paying +1400 to win the Masters while bettors can take the field against him at -5000. The field would cost -2000 against Jordan Spieth, who would pay +900 if he is able to win the Masters. A dream team of Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas and Dustin Johnson pays +250 to win the tournament while fading these three superstars with a field bet would pay -350.
Bettors that are racking up Tiger Woods prop bets might consider betting him to record an eagle at some point in the tournament at +125, with odds of him hitting an eagle in the opening round going off at +400. Woods is also one of five golfers (along with Spieth, McIlroy, Thomas, and Johnson) the bettors can wager at +2000 to have a bogey-free round on Day 1.
What score will it take to win this year’s Masters Tournament? A score of 279 or higher is the favorite at +115 with “276-278” at +210 and “Under 275” at +225. Bettors that expect the winning score to be extremely low may consider taking a shot on the prop of any player in the tournament shooting all four rounds in the 60’s, which pays +1100.
Other general Masters 2018 prop bets include a wager on will there be a hole in one? “Yes” is a -150 favorite over “No”. Bettors can also wager on how many players will finish the tournament under par with “12-16” favored at +150 over “11 and Under” at +175 and “17 and Over” at +200.
