Tiger Woods is not the favorite to win this year's British Open but he is among the ten contenders with the shortest odds out of a few dozen. Woods opened at 20/1 odds to win the 2018 British Open. Dustin Johnson is the favorite, but with relatively long odds of 12/1.
Woods feels confident coming into this year's British Open (also known as The Open Championship).
“It’s my favorite type of golf to play,” he said. “I love playing here, this type of links golf, or a style of links golf down on the Aussie sand belt ... because it is creative. We’re not going to get the most perfect bounces. And I think that’s the fun challenge of it.”
He added: “You don’t have to be long to play on a links-style golf course. You get to places like Augusta National, where it’s just a big ballpark, and the golf course outgrows you, unfortunately. That’s just the way it goes. But a links-style golf course, you can roll the ball. Distance becomes a moot point.”
Get your bets in Wednesday night. Round 1 start time: 1:35 a.m EDT. Goes until around 4 pm EDT.
