Tiger Woods Leaves Golf: Payout for Bettors Could be Big

With Tiger Woods announcing through a statement that he plans to leave golf "indefinitely", sports bettors are jumping all over Tiger Woods 2010 Masters Win odds, the assumption being he will not play in a majority of the tournaments.

The odds of winning zero Masters in 2010 paid close to 2/1 odds or $200 for every $100 bet at Sportsbook.com late Friday, even after the announcement. 

Tiger Woods said Friday he is taking an indefinite leave from golf to work on saving his marriage, using the word "infidelity" for the first time in a statement posted on his Web site.

"After much soul searching, I have decided to take an indefinite break from professional golf," Woods said. "I need to focus my attention on being a better husband, father, and person."

The announcement came two weeks after a car accident that set in motion a shocking downfall for the world's No. 1 player, which has included sordid allegations of numerous extramarital affairs. One woman even shared a voicemail she said Woods left her two nights before his Nov. 27 accident.

Woods has not been seen in public since the accident.
