A victory Sunday would move Tiger into a six-way tie for third on the list for most Open titles. Bettors are all-in on Woods, as he is currently the biggest liability for the Open at BetMGM, with 5.7% of the tickets (second-most) and 6.7% of the handle (third-most).

Woods bettors also account for 10% of the handle at DraftKings Sportsbook (most).

“Tiger Woods is already a significant liability for BetMGM at The Open Championship,” BetMGM vice president of trading Jason Scott said. “Judging from his last few tournaments, playing four days in a row seems to put incredible stress on Tiger’s body, so we’re comfortable with the huge liability.” 

Tiger Woods says LIV players ‘turned their backs’ on the PGA | THE HERD

Tiger Woods has offered his sharpest criticism yet to the golfers who have abandoned the PGA status quo for the incentive heave LIV tour.

Despite the heavy bets on Wood, he is still a significant long shot to win the tournament. Understandably so, due to his health and recent performances. 

Tiger’s last PGA victory was at the Zozo Championships on Oct. 28, 2019.

He placed 47th at the Masters in April. Tiger was making his first PGA Tour start since the 2020 Masters after his car accident in February 2021.

Tiger shot a 9-over-par 79 during the third round of the PGA Championship at Southern Hills in Tulsa, Okla., in May, then withdrew. It was the third-worst round of his major career and the fifth-worst of his professional career.

Still, Tiger’s issues haven’t dissuaded bettors, as the big bets keep rolling in.
