Tiger Woods crashed his car into a fire hydrant during the extended Thanksgiving Day weekend and managed to damage a neighbor's tree in the process. Talk about a "non event". Then rumors began surfacing that Woods may have been trying to escape his raging wife, furious over reports that the world's leading golfer has been "seeing" another woman. Initial reports had Tiger Woods wife smashing the car with a golf club and quite possibly causing scratches on his face.
It didn't take long for most online bookies to pull their future odds on the 2010 Masters.
SportsInteraction.com appeared to be the lone exception.
"They had Tiger Woods as a +225 favorite to win the 2010 Masters with a payout potential of $225 for every $100 bet or $22.50 for every $10 bet," acknowledged Gambling911.com Senior Editor, Payton O'Brien.
But with the domestic strife, Woods might be expected to perform poorly in the coming year.
"More sports bettors were expected to eye Phil Mickelson," said O'Brien. "He promises a payout of $600 for every $100 bet or $60 for every $10 bet."
All other golfers would pay out double digit numbers or greater.
Sports Interaction did remove odds on the number of Masters Tiger Woods will win in 2010.
