The FedEx Cup continues this week, and we are set to make our Deutsche Bank Championship picks. Join us, as 100 of the best golfers in the world vie for the right to continue on the road on the PGA Tour playoffs.

Rory McIlroy (+1155): McIlroy really doesn’t play as much on the PGA Tour as we would like to see him, but when he has this year, he has been remarkable. He started the campaign off with three Top 3 finishes, and now, he also has a win at the PGA Championship to show for his work. McIlroy is clearly one of the best golfers in the world, and we just don’t think that there is ever really a circumstance in which he should be more than 10 to 1 to win any event that he is entering from the get go. Expect a better effort out of McIlroy this week than his -1 last week at The Barclays.

Lee Westwood (+2800): Westy always seems to be a bridesmaid, but he is never a bride. This is a man that has had five finishes this year in the Top 5 of tournaments, but he hasn’t finished better than tied for third in any of them. That being said, we also have to remember that he has only played in 12 tournaments this year, and finishing in the Top 5 in five of them is a remarkable feat. We have seen Westwood play well in big time tournaments before, and we think that he has some great value here at 28 to 1, as he is going to win one of these events sooner than later.

Adam Scott (+3600): Again, we really think that we are getting a nice price on Scott in this tournament. Scott, just like Westwood, doesn’t have a victory this year, but he does have just a slew of great rounds. In fact, a 77 in the third round of The Memorial this year was his only round in which he shot worse than a 75 for the whole year. He also has had a lot of rounds in the high-60s, and that type of consistency is something that we love to see. Scott has three finishes of 11th or better in his last five events entered, and we’ll take our chances with a man this good in a tournament like this all the time.

Our 2012 US Open predictions are officially here at Cappers Info! Some of the best golfers in the world are set to take aim at the links of the Olympic Club, and today, we are going to be taking a final look at our bold predictions for the US Open, including our 2012 US Open free picks.

5Dimes golf

Tiger Woods (+565): We are always keeping an eye on Tiger as he tries to catch Jack Nicklaus for the most majors in the history of the sport, and this is one of the many opportunities that he is going to have. What we have seen out of Woods of late we like for sure, as he was able to win the Memorial, his second ‘W’ of the year. This is a heck of a lot different of a challenge for Woods though, as he has to go to a very difficult course against some of the best golfers in the world. When he was on his game, Tiger was the best in the world. But is he still worthy of being called “our national champion?” We just don’t really think so. This is a man to pass upon for sure.

Rory McIlroy (+1250): McIlroy really made it to the big time at the US Open last year, when he stormed through Washington DC and Congressional to take his first major championship. Unfortunately, we haven’t see a heck of a lot out of the youngster from Northern Ireland this year, and we are wondering whether we are in a position where McIlroy has become overplayed. Is 12 to 1 really good enough for us to want to bet on McIlroy? We definitely think that he can be a contender on this course, but this might be the man to bet on a day or two in the future after seeing how he comes out of the blocks on Thursday.

Bubba Watson (+5000): Watson most certainly made a name for himself earlier this year when he won the Masters in what amounted to be the biggest win of his career. This up and coming star on the links is going to be a contender again here in San Francisco we feel, as Watson just has this knack of always being in contention as the courses, the conditions, and the competition all get tougher. We aren’t so sure that Watson is going to be able to claim yet another major championship this year, but at 50 to 1, we certainly know that the US Open odds are on our side.

Nick Watney (+9500): Remember last year when we were all hopping on the Nick Watney bandwagon, as he was tearing through tournaments left and right? He turned out to be a brutal disappointment for the most part in all of these major tournaments, and last year’s US Open was no exception. That being said, this is a great price on a golfer that has a lot of potential. Don’t be all that shocked if in the end, Watney is the man that is able to stick around in this competition.

Our 2012 Masters predictions are officially here at Cappers Info! Some of the best golfers in the world are set to take aim at the links of rainy Augusta National, and today, we are going to be taking a final look at our bold predictions for the Masters, including our 2012 Masters free picks.

Click Here For All Of The 2012 Odds To Win The Masters!

Tiger Woods (+480): Tiger is going to be the trendy choice in this tournament, and though we don’t think that he legitimately has a one in four chance of winning the event, we do think that he has a great chance to at least stick around. If Woods is within a shot or two of the lead going into play on Sunday, he might be the odds on favorite, depending upon what golfer is in the lead. It is clear that Woods, coming off of that win at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, is playing the best golf that we have seen him play in the last three years. That being said, he won’t officially be “back” until he wins a major. Could it happen by Sunday? We definitely think that there is at least a very viable chance that that is what plays out.

Rory McIlroy (+650): Going into the final round here at Augusta National last year, McIlroy looked like he was going to be a dead nuts lock to win his first major. That being said, the 22 year old shot a terrible 80 to fall from grace. Many thought that it would take years for him to recover, if he ever actually did. And then came the US Open at Congressional when he basically went wire to wire and looked better and better with every passing shot that he took. The bottom line is that right now, McIlroy might be the best golfer in the world, and the argument could be made that he is the next Tiger Woods. He might prove it by exorcizing the demons of Masters’ past from last year.

Luke Donald (+1475): Donald really is our favorite pick on the odds to win the Masters. McIlroy and Woods are the two trendy picks, and Phil Mickelson isn’t going to be all that far behind either. That being said, it is probably a little known fact that Donald is the world’s No. 1 ranked player right now. Think that that’s a farce just because he plays in a lot of tournaments? Think again. Guess who is the No. 1 putter in the world as well? Luke Donald. Sure, we know that the flashy names are going to be the ones that get all of the pub, but the time is coming for Donald to really make a difference on the PGA Tour for more than just money lists and tour rankings. He could be the really sneaky play in slow conditions with iffy scores in the Peach State.

Graeme McDowell (+8000): McDowell is a long shot to win the Masters to say the least, but we think that he might be able to at least hang around in this tournament. Historically, McDowell is a good putter, and he has the game that really translates to the majors. It hasn’t turned into success quite yet, but we aren’t all that removed from the times when McDowell was one of the favorites to win most every event that he partook in. Don’t count him out this weekend.

Some of the best golfers in the world will be on the course at Bay Hill for the 2012 Arnold Palmer Invitational this week. Join us here at Cappers Info for our 2012 Bay Hill and Arnold Palmer picks!

PGA Tour Event: 2012 Arnold Palmer Invitational
Dates: Thursday March 22nd-25th
Location: Bay Hill Golf & Country Club, Orlando, FL
PGA TV Schedule: Golf Channel, NBC

Arnold Palmer Pick #1: Phil Mickelson (+1250) @ WagerWeb Sportsbook: We know that Lefty should be the favorite to win this event, and we still aren’t all that sure what the heck all of the love is about for Tiger Woods. He has half the odds and probably about a tenth of the chance that Mickelson does of winning here at the Bay Hill. Mickelson has been great all year long, winning at Pebble Beach and nearly doing the exact same thing the very next week at the Northern Trust Open. He is playing great golf, and though there are others that are right on his tail, he is sure to be the man of the hour is if comes down to some big time golf on Sunday. There aren’t many golfers in the world that we would rather have on our side, and knowing that Rory McIlroy, Luke Donald, and others are not here in the Sunshine State, Mickelson might be the man to beat.

Arnold Palmer Pick #2: Bubba Watson (+3000) @ WagerWeb Sportsbook: You aren’t going to find many more golfers on the PGA Tour that have played more consistently this year than Watson has. Sure, he hasn’t found his way to the winner’s circle yet, but he hasn’t finished worse than 18th in any event on the campaign. That is a remarkable feat, even this early in the season. Watson tied for fifth at the Waste Management Phoenix Open, and he was the runner up two weeks ago in his best tournament of the year, the Cadillac Championship. There is no doubt that this Florida native would love to come home and take down the Bay Hill crown, and he might do just that when push comes to shove.

Arnold Palmer Pick #3: Zach Johnson (+6000) @ WagerWeb Sportsbook: Johnson has seven wins in his career, but you have to go back almost two full years to find the last time that he claimed glory. He does have some great finishes, including when he won the 2007 Masters, and this tends to be the best time of year for him on the links. Unfortunately for Johnson, there really isn’t a lot to suggest that he can do all that well at this event. He only has one Top 10 finish all year long, and he didn’t shoot a single round in the 60s last year in this event. Still, Johnson is a golfer that can turn it on in a heartbeat, and he might be able to shock a lot of the top golfers in the world by carding some consistent rounds at the Arnold Palmer Invitational.

The road to the majors has started for golfers from across the globe, and this week, many of them are taking to the links at Pebble Beach. Check out some of our AT&T National Pebble Beach Pro-Am free picks for the tournament!

Pebble Beach Pro-Am Preview
Dates: Thursday, February 9th – Sunday, February 12th
Location: Spyglass Hill, Pebble Beach, CA


Phil Mickelson (+1800) at SportBet.com: Though it normally doesn’t pay to bother with some of the big time favorites, we do think that Lefty is worth a look this weekend. He is in a heck of a lot better shape than some of his cohorts right now, but there is no doubt that he isn’t playing all that well at the moment. Mickelson might be ready for some big time progress, as this is the time of year that he usually starts to shine before the majors begin. Lefty is the only man in this field that has won this tournament three times in the past, and he could make it No. 4 this weekend at Pebble Beach.

Brandt Snedeker (+2500) at SportBet.com: Snedeker won the last tournament at the end of January at Torrey Pines at the Farmers Insurance Open. He also has an eighth place finish in his first tourney of the year and was respectable last week at the Phoenix Open. Snedeker is going to be a challenger this week for sure, and he has a decent history here at Pebble Beach. Don’t be all that shocked if Snedeker ends up being the man of the hour come Sunday afternoon when this tournament is said and done.

Aaron Baddeley (+5000) at SportBet.com: Baddeley won right around this time last year at the Northern Trust Open, and that came on the heels of finishing sixth in this tournament last year. Baddeley has been one of the most consistent golfers on the PGA Tour really since that point last February, turning round after round in the 60s with just a few missed cuts. This year, starting with the Farmers Insurance Open, Baddeley has only had one round over par, and if he can keep that up through the weekend, he might all of a sudden have a fantastic price tag on the odds to win the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.

There’s one last major golf event this year, and that goes this week at the East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, as the 30 top golfers in the FedEx Cup vie for what amounts to be the last tournament title of the weekend at the Tour Championship!

Tour Championship Preview
Dates: Thursday, September 22nd – Sunday, September 25th
Location: East Lake Golf Club, Atlanta, GA


Nick Watney (+1700) at SportBet.com: A nice price here on Watney, knowing that these golf odds weren’t too far off from what he had for a lot of the majors from this past year. Now, he only has to best 29 others to get the job done. He was a hot commodity at the BMW Championship last weekend, though he did get off to a slow start that he never truly recovered from. From the back nine in the third round to the front nine in the fourth round, Watney shot a -12 (58) last week. We aren’t willing to go against a golfer in that fine of form.

Jason Day (+1800) at SportBet.com: A good scrambler, this tournament sets up well for Day to do some damage. He knows that he is going to have to win this event to win the FedEx Cup, something that a slew of golfers know, but Day has the goods to get the job done. Any guesses as to who leads the PGA Tour in Par 3 scoring this year? Yep, that’s right. Day could be a hero come Sunday, and he might have a lot of hardware to bring home with him.

John Senden (+4200) at SportBet.com: Senden is one of these golfers that has consistently been playing better than average golf, but he has yet to really bust onto the scene for that big victory. He did finish second last week at the BMW Championship, a result to be proud of against what was a very, very tough field. He finished 10th here two years ago, his only appearance at East Lake, and we are sure that Senden can get the job done again and compete, giving him an above average chance of taking down the Tour Championship.

Some of the best golfers on the PGA Tour are going to be in action this week in Akron, OH for the 13th annual WGC-PGA Championship. Here are our PGA golf picks to click on the odds to win the PGA Championship!

PGA Championship Preview
Dates: Thursday, August 11th – Sunday, August 14th
Location: Highlands Course, Atlanta Athletic Club, Johns Creek, GA


Tiger Woods (+2500) and Phil Mickelson (+2500) at SportBet.com: Last week, we said that we were going to go against both Tiger and Phil, and this week is no exception. Sure, Mickelson played slightly better golf last week at the Bridgestone Invitational, and everyone is going to remember that run that he put on at the British Open in the final round before falling apart in the final few holes. There’s no doubt that there are a lot of special moments in both of these golfers. Unfortunately, their “names” are carrying them to this point, and there is just no way that we can back either one in a spot like this against a very, very tough field. We’d be surprised just to see Woods make the cut, and we don’t foresee a Top 20 finish coming for Lefty either.

Adam Scott (+2300) at SportBet.com: Talk about poetic justice! Wouldn’t it be something if for a second straight week, Caddy Stevie Williams was able to say that he caddied for the winning golfer? Adam Scott has definitely been playing better golf, and it is unfortunate for us that he won last week’s WGC Bridgestone Invitational, because his PGA Championship betting lines came tumbling down after that event. However, we know with Scott’s consistent play and the help of a proven winner of a caddy that this golfer has a tremendous chance ot be able to claim glory at a major championship.

Nick Watney (+3500) at SportBet.com: Watney has sort of been the pick du jour over these last few majors to come up big, but all of a sudden, it is like everyone has forgotten about him. This is still one of the up and coming golfers on the PGA Tour, just like Rory McIlroy. In fact, we’d put Watney’s chances of winning this tournament right there with that of the Northern Ireland native. Don’t be surprised if Watney shoots some consistent scores over the first three days of this tournament, and without making any noise whatsoever, finds himself near the top of the leaderboard going onto the back nine on Sunday.

Ricky Barnes (+20000) at SportBet.com: This is the type of tournament where you take a few long shots and hope that it all works out for you. In the case of Barnes, there has to be at least a 1 in 200 chance that he wins this tournament. This is a man who finished fourth at both the Honda Classic and The Heritage this year, and we know that he has the goods to be able to find his way to the winner’s circle. Sure, there’s a good chance that he ends up missing out on the cut, but at this price, we’ve got to take a stab on Barnes to pull off the biggest weekend of his life.

Some of the best golfers on the PGA Tour are going to be in action this week in Akron, OH for the 13th annual WGC-Bridgestone Invitational. Here are our PGA golf picks to click on the odds to win the Bridgestone Invitational!

Bridgestone Invitational Preview
Dates: Thursday, August 4th – Sunday, August 7th
Location: Firestone Country Club, Akron, OH


Tiger Woods (+1950) and Phil Mickelson (+2100) at SportBet.com: We’re going to start with two golfers that we wouldn’t back right now if our lives depended on it. It is very clear that the “names” aren’t going to be winning this event. Lefty was only able to hit the backside of a barn for those few holes at the British Open, and Tiger is just coming back to the fold after a long absence. Woods is especially poisonous, knowing that he has had the long layoff, off of a hard injury to his Achilles, firing his caddy, and adjusting his swing. There’s just no way that either one of these two golfers deserves to be anywhere near even 100 to 1, let alone in the 20 to 1-ish range.

Rory McIlroy (+1300) at SportBet.com: McIlroy really feels like he has the ability to be the next chosen child of golf, replacing the two aforementioned golfers, and he definitely has the game to back it up. McIlroy already has a major illustrious title under his belt this way, running away from the field at the US Open, and he really wants to make a statement going into the PGA Championship next week. This is the most dangerous golfer on the tour this week, and he is definitely the man to beat as long as he is playing his game.

Steve Stricker (+1700) at SportBet.com: Stricker hasn’t had that one absolutely major triumph this year, but he has had his share of minor victories to make him one of the most decorated golfers on the PGA Tour. Stricker won both the Memorial Tournament and the John Deere Classic this year, but this would be the best result that he had on the year. Remember that Stricker finished in the Top 20 in each of the last four majors, making him a real threat to not only take the PGA Championship, but this year at Firestone Country Club as well.

Some of the best golfers on the PGA Tour are going to be in action this week on the shores of West Virginia for the second annual Greenbrier Classic. Here are our PGA golf picks to click on the odds to win the Greenbrier Classic!

Greenbrier Classic Preview
Dates: Thursday, July 28th – Sunday, July 31st
Location: The Greenbrier, White Sulphur Springs, WV


Phil Mickelson (+810) at SportBet.com: It’s really hard to ignore just how strong the favorite really is in this event. No, Lefty doesn’t have a win in quite some time on the PGA Tour, but in this event, he’s going up against a relatively weak field without an of the normal big hitting suspects. Mickelson went on a great run on Sunday at the British Open two weeks ago, and he has the ability to do even more damage this week on a course where scores should be incredibly, incredibly low. As we saw in Jolly Ol’ England, no one is going to want to get in the way of Mickelson if he starts to catch fire, and we’ll take our chances that he can do just that this week.

Sergio Garcia (+1700) at SportBet.com: Normally speaking, Garcia is a bit of a taboo bet, because this is a man that we were counting on to be the Spanish edition of Tiger Woods. Over the past several years, wins have been hard to come by for Garcia, but this week, he has a great opportunity to find his way to the winner’s circle. The Spaniard has had a whopping 11 Top 25 finishes in his 15 starts this year, and we know that he is going to have a consistent showing once again this weekend as well. All we want in this event is a player that has the ability to have a round in the low 60s, and Garcia is just the man for the task.

Webb Simpson (+2300) at SportBet.com: One might want to get better PGA Tour odds on a golfer that has never won an event in his career, but there is no doubt that Simpson is due to make it to the top of the charts in one of these tournaments. He has had five straight Top 20 finishes, and many of the golfers that have consistently been finishing in front of him aren’t around this weekend. This just might be Simpson’s lucky week, giving him a great chance, certainly better than 23 to 1, to take down his first title.

With two major tournaments in the books, PGA betting fans should be all set for arguably the most exciting of the big time events on the calendar, the British Open. We’re set to make our British Open picks for the fourth and final major of the year, starting on Thursday!

British Open Preview
Dates: Thursday, July 14th – Sunday, July 17th
Location: Royal St. George’s, Sandwich, Kent, England


Rory McIlroy (+665) at SportBet.com: Simply put, there’s no way that we can make our British Open Picks without at least thinking about including McIlroy in the bunch. The youngster has really done a great job replacing Tiger Woods as the face of the PGA Tour at this point, and he is sure to be a contender in this one as well. Remember that it isn’t just the US Open that McIlroy played that well at. He really should have won the Masters before choking away the title on the final day. However, he really has made no mistakes since that point and should be considered a huge threat to take down the title once again. McIlroy is absolutely a deserved British Open favorite.

Phil Mickelson (+4800) at SportBet.com: Doesn’t it seem odd that Lefty is this much of an underdog in this tournament? It almost seems like it’s cliché to take Mickelson in this tournament, but we know that he does have the goods to win a career Grand Slam, and this is one of the jewels that he is missing. We know that the game where even par might win the tournament isn’t really one which suits Mickelson the best, but at these British Open odds, we simply cannot pass. Mickelson has a great price here at 48 to 1.

Steve Stricker (+4000) at SportBet.com: For three straight years now, Stricker has been the hot golfer on tour, winning the John Deere Classic in the lead up week to the British Open. This year, Stricker has really been playing some of the best golf of his life, and he really due to be able to shine in a major. This is a bit of a trendy golf pick, just as Nick Watney was in the Masters at the outset of the season, but in this case, we definitely feel that 40 to 1 justifies taking Stricker to be able to stay in the limelight in one of the biggest events in his career.

Handicapping the Masters can be one of the most frustrating things in the world because there are just so many golfers to choose from. Though at this will seem a lot like a crapshoot, there are definite ways to handicap golf odds in a great light. Remember that these picks are all based upon percentages of winning plays. A man that is 100 to 1 only needs to win this event one out of 100 times to make us a winner. There are a number of different golfers that strike our fancy this week at one of the biggest events of the year. Here are our picks to win the green jacket in Masters betting action!


We have to start by saying that we hate these odds on Tiger Woods. Sure, we know that getting 8.50 to 1 at BetUS Sportsbook is probably about as good as you’re going to get on Tiger, especially with his history, but the bottom line is that he is just done. There’s no way that he is all of a sudden going to win this event one out of eight times after not winning anything in two full years. We just have no confidence in Tiger right now, and though he has a great history of Top 10 finishes here at the Masters, this probably won’t be the week that he suddenly busts out. On the same type of note, we think that the odds to win the Masters on Phil Mickelson are blown out of proportion at 6 to 1. Lefty is good, and he does have three green jackets to his credit, but there’s no way that he wins this event one out of six times.

Instead, we’ll look at some of the other great golfers in the world, most of which have never won this event before.

Check Out All Of The Great Masters Odds at BetUS Sportsbook And Collect A Huge 100% Deposit Bonus Just By Clicking This Link!!!

The interesting name on this list could be Graeme McDowell. At 40 to 1, McDowell makes for a great play. Sure, McDowell really hasn’t played all that well of late, but he has been one of the hottest golfers on the PGA Tour over the course of the last eight months or so. Forget about that awful tournament that he had at the Arnold Palmer two weeks ago. There’s no way that he is going to be shooting an 80 in the first round here at Augusta.

The man that is really due to bust onto the scene in a big time way is Matt Kuchar. It feels like we’ve been talking about Kuchar as the “up and coming” name on the PGA Tour for over a decade, but this year’s fantastic finish at the WGC Accenture Match Play Championship really might have been just the swift kick that Kuchar needed to get going in a major tournament as well. These 30 to 1 odds could be a blessing on a terrific golfer that is ranked in the Top 10 in the world.

Youngster, Rickie Fowler still has a heck of a lot of learning to do to make it on the PGA Tour, especially in this type of an event, but at 55 to 1, we are getting a great price on a man that already has five rounds of 68 or better this season. Fowler finished in the Top 10 both at the Accenture Match Play that we were discussing previously with Kuchar, and at the WGC Cadillac Championship just a month ago. Fowler was playing relatively well at the Arnold Palmer going into the final day of the event, and he picked a terrible time to come up with his worst round of golf of the year. Even just a par day within two strokes of the leader, and the Masters odds would have definitely changed dramatically. Fowler is due for a tournament win, and this would be a heck of a venue for him to get it in.

Does anyone even realize that Robert Allenby already has over $700K banked this year in nine events played? Sure, Allenby got off to a slow start in his first two events of the year, missing the cut in both, but he hasn’t missed a cut since that point. He’s coming off of a great weekend at the Shell Houston Open last week, and he is one of the few golfers that can say that he had three rounds in the 60s in that event. Don’t be shocked if he comes on very strong and is in contention on Sunday, and at 100 to 1, that’s absolutely all that we could ask of him.

Tiger Woods returns to PGA Tour betting action on Thursday morning at Augusta National for the 2010 Masters. The odds to win the Masters are posted at JustBet Sportsbook, and here at Cappers Info, we're going to answer the question that is the hottest on the minds of sports betting fanatics everywhere. Tiger or the field?

At JustBet, you can find Woods at +420 and the field at -620.

Tiger looks great in his Green Jacket, but will he get to wear it again come Sunday night?

Let's start by stating the obvious. Tiger Woods is the best golfer in the world, and he absolutely should be the favorite to win this event regardless of whether or not he is coming off of a six month absence from the PGA Tour or not. Tiger has tamed the course at Augusta four times in his career, including by a whopping 12 shots in 1997, his first ever major victory. In total, he has 14 majors to his credit.

Those are accolades that any golfer in the history of the sport would be proud of. Inevitably, assuming that he keeps his wits about him, Woods is going to become the most decorated golfer ever, surpassing Jack Nicklaus' 18 major titles and Sam Snead's 82 PGA Tour victories, and he's going to do it in less time (and quite possibly far less time) than any other golfer ever accomplished such goals.

However, Tiger has looked more like a kitty cat at times in recent major tournaments. He missed the cut at the '09 Open Championship, and was caught from behind on the final day of the PGA Championship by little known Y.E. Yang, putting his consecutive majors without a win at *gasp!* five straight.

Now, between the injury that cost him both the Open Championship and PGA Championship in 2008 and this whole sex scandal and infidelity to his wife floating around in the media, there's every reason to believe that the almighty Tiger might not be at the top of his game.

In the words of ESPN's Lee Corso, "Not so fast, my friend."

Laying worse than 1-6 against Woods seems to be a foolish idea in basically any event. He won six of his 17 starts in 2009 coming back from that knee injury that cost him the end of the 2008 season. He has been especially solid in majors, as he has lifted the trophy in 13 of his L/25 entries.

Beyond that fact, we now have a motivated Tiger Woods on our hands. Everyone is telling the greatest golfer in the world that he can't figure out how to come back straight from a long layoff to win a major championship, particularly at Augusta. Woods still appears to be in great shape, and he's going to be one of the biggest drivers on the course at all times. That'll come in handy for the five holes of at least 500 yards that this course offers.

If you believe what he said at his Monday press conference, Woods feels like the weight of the world is off of his shoulders now that the entire world knows about his off the course escapades and that he doesn't have to worry about hiding his personal life.

This writer has never been one to stare into the eye of the Tiger. Ernie Els may have won two straight tournaments that he has entered. Phil Mickelson may have broken that major hex and has captured two Green Jackets in the past. The rest of the field may feel like it has a bit of a psychological edge on him as well.

But at the end of the day, Tiger is still the one that is feared most in this tournament, and if it comes down to a Sunday at Augusta National, it isn't going to matter how many women claim that they have slept with him or what his status is going on at home.

He's still Tiger Woods, and we're not betting against him.
