Tiger Woods’ odds to win the 2018 Masters plummeted after he took the solo lead at the Valspar Championship during the second round. While Woods went on to drop a shot and finished tied at four-under for the co-lead and has since been surpassed by Corey Conners and Kelly Kraft, the excitement for his return to the Masters is obviously there.
Woods is now behind only Dustin Johnson and Justin Thomas in odds to win the event.
