It should come as no surprise that oddsmakers have set Tiger Woods as the favorite to win the 2009 Masters at 7/4 Mickelson follows at 6/1, and then it’s a big gap to Padraig Harrington (16/1), Geoff Ogilvy (16/1), Retief Goosen (25/1), Sergio Garcia (20/1), Ernie Els (28/1), Anthony Kim (28/1), Jim Furyk (33/1), and
Sean O’Hair (33/1)
My brain tells me Tiger’s likely to win this thing, but emotionally, I’m pulling for Harrington. A win at the Masters would make the following US Open the most exciting thing in golf in years: someone trying to break into the exclusive “Tiger Slam” club.

Three of the major bookies in oz had Ogilvy at $17 yesterday while the fourth had him at about $23 – either they’re taking a bit of a risk or they know something we don’t.
For anyone who’s interested in betting on Ogilvy the website is http://www.canbet.com.au
They seem to have taken the odds down at the moment so I’m not sure what the deal is – worth keeping an eye on. $23 is a great price for Ogilvy.
Well, since I have a TaylorMade R9 on the line, I am pulling for Sergio.
If it weren’t for that, I would be for:
Couples, Snedeker and Woods, in that order.
Oh, and Tiger at better than 2/1? Come on. He is the smart bet, but it has gotten a little out of whack there. He did win on Sunday, and yes, it was amazing – but not THAT amazing, he came up 3 on that day, and O’Hair came down 3.
I’m with Martin. My allegiance can be bought and TaylorMade bought mine with their “free driver if Sergio wins” campaign.
Tiger, Phil, Padraig will come with their ‘A’ game. They’re very consistent at Augusta. My money is on Jim Furyk.
