Tiger Woods US Masters 2012 Betting Favorite
One thing about Americans is that they love a 'comeback kid', and the fact Tiger Woods won his first tournament in two and a half years last week, has golf pundits scrambling to back him to win next week's 2012 US Masters at Augusta National Golf Club in Atlanta, Georgia.
Love him or hate him, Tiger Woods is no doubt the greatest golfer that ever lived, and although he may have lost some of his fans because of shocking revelations in his personal life, in a perfect world he would only be judged on his performance on a golf course.
