Published: July 15, 2009
TURNBERRY, Scotland - Here's a news flash: Odds are Tiger Woods will win the British Open.
The William Hill betting house is offering 13-5 odds on a Woods victory, with second favorite Sergio Garcia way behind at 30-1. Woods is such an overwhelming favorite that oddsmakers are trying to find other ways to bring in money on the tournament.
That includes offering 9-4 odds on two-time defending champion Padraig Harrington making the cut. Those who see a three-peat in Harrington's immediate future can get 40-1 on him winning.
Among the proposition bets are 6-4 odds on Woods hitting the fairway with his first shot and 4-11 odds that Woods will win more majors than Roger Federer. Woods has 14, while good friend Federer has 15.
