The Players Championship 2012 Sees Tiger Woods the Favorite Among Bettors
Despite missing the cut last week, Tiger Woods (20/1 to win) is the most popular wager (by a lot), getting 18 percent of betting action on The Players Championship 2012 at Sportsbook.
Mickelson (20/1) was the 2nd most popular at 8 percent while McIlroy (10/1 to win) was the 3rd most popular at 6 percent.
Woods blamed his latest setback on short-term frustration, saying it is all part of the process for him as he continues to work through a swing change with coach Sean Foley.

"Guys, I've done this before. I've been through this," Woods said during a news conference Tuesday at TPC Sawgrass, where The Players Championship begins Thursday. "Actually a lot of you guys actually lived it with me, went through those periods where I wasn't quite where I wanted to be. I had some pretty good runs after that, and this is no different.
"It takes a little bit of time, and I keep building, and things eventually come around to where they feel natural and efficient. I think that's probably the most important word is that you get out there and you feel efficient in what you're doing."
