Can Tiger return from his "break" and win first-up? While he is a champion - on the course - reckon he may need the hitout, so to speak, and that would give great value on some others around him.

Matt Kuchar has been in great form this last year and the course looks right up his alley with his game - $71 with the site sponsor.

Chad Campbell was in the playoff last year and has been very solid over the last 12 months, so form is on the board - currently $81

Ryan Moore may be a surprise packet also. Has shown a liking for this sort of course also in the past, currently $126.

Of the Australians, Nathan Green has been sound over the last 12 months on the US Tour and suspect that he may find Augusta to his liking. Should give a sight at the extremely generous odds of $351. John Senden ($201) and Marc Leishman ($251) have also had their moments in the last year, although wonder if a long season is starting to catch up with the latter. Robert Allenby has had a brilliant last six months also - currently $61.

value = betfair. compare the prices

I like Ogilvy top Aussie at $3

I like Cabrera @ $67, McIlroy @ $41, Villegas @ $34. Long shots Oosthuizen @ $126 & Glover @ $126
Would love to see Ernie Els win it.

Ive taken Hunter Mahan @ $41 and Retief Goosen @ $26

Plus a multi of players to make the cut....some good value for that

Don't mind the look of Kenny Perry at $91, no doubt plenty more on Betfair.

Place your Masters bets on at Sportsbet and you get a bit of Tiger insurance....



BOOKIE TO REFUND ALL BETS IF TIGER WINS THE MASTERS
Posted on Wed 7th April 2010

Leading online bookmaker Sportsbet.com.au will refund all bets placed on the outright winner of the 2010 US Masters if Tiger Woods wins.

“It’s fair to say Tiger’s preparation hasn’t been ideal and we’re happy to take him on this week, so much so that we’re prepared to refund bets on everyone else in the field if Tiger wins,” said Sportsbet.com.au’s Haydn Lane.

“Taking a stance against Tiger is normally folly for a bookmaker, but we see this as our chance to finally get one back on him.”

Sportsbet.com.au is also offering the best price available on Tiger to win the Masters, currently at $6, with some other bookmakers posting as little as $4 on a Tiger victory.

In novelty markets, Sportsbet.com.au is offering $3 on Tiger to score 16 or more birdies at Augusta, $15 on him leading from start to finish, and $41 on him re-entering the clinic during the tournament.

Note: In November last year, Sportsbet.com.au paid out early on Tiger Woods to win the Australian Masters after two rounds when he was three strokes ahead. Woods faltered in the third round to share the lead with two others, before he shot clear on the final day to win the tournament.

$5 on Kenny Perry @ $126
$5 on The Cheetah @ $6

Yes Perry would be a good bet and don't let his age concern you as he's played his best golf since he turned 45.
People don't seem to be paying much respect to defending champion Cabrera (in media that is) and on the 20th anniversary of Faldo going back to back I'm tipping Cabrera to do likewise.

If you didn't have to putt I'd be picking John Senden as his tee to green game is as good as anyone's but unfortunately he has to putt.

Like the South African rookie Charl Schwartzel as a top 5 bet

Will be interested to see how British Open specialist Chris Wood goes at Augusta on debut and also 17 year old Matteo Monasseri.

Of the Australians, Adam Scott, Geoff Ogilvy, Nathan Green and Robert Allenby should just make the cut (Currently +3).

Some of the bigger names likely to be missing are Tim Clark, John Senden, Padraig Harrington, Rory McIlroy, Ross Fisher, Rory Sabbatini, Jim Furyk and Vijay Singh. After a -3 yesterday, Sandy Lyle fired a +14 today to go +11 for the tournament.

Ricky Barnes was leading the US Open after the third round last year at $1001. Was around $301 to take out this tournament before tee-off.
