Although Tiger Woods hasn’t won a major in more than five years, he continues to be the heavy favourite for the British Open just 10 days away from competition.

Woods was favoured even more at the US Open (9-2 to Rory McIlroy’s 20-1) and less so at Augusta (3-1 to Rory McIlroy’s 12-1).

The interesting part about the British Open is that this is the first time all year McIlroy hasn’t been the clear cut No. 2 favourite heading into a major.

It’s a reflection of his play, obviously, but it’s also a reflection of the fact that nobody was betting on him. (He opened at 12-1.) – Eye on Golf
