Tiger Woods’ odds to win the 2023 Masters Tournament are long, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t other ways to have a stake in his performance this week.
If you don’t want to bet on whether the GOAT can turn back the clock and get his sixth win at Augusta, there are countless prop bets that can make it just as fun to follow the five-time Masters champ.

Some props have odds longer than Woods’ chances to win, and some provide bettors a better shot. Here are five props I came across on Woods, and my advice on how to bet them.
Will Tiger Woods make the cut?
Yes: -200 at DraftKings
Nobody knows Augusta better than Woods. So even at less than his physical prime, you don’t bet against him missing the cut. Would you like better odds? Sure, and it’s probably worth shopping around. But at the end of the day, you can place this bet and feel confident he’ll figure out a way to play into the weekend as usual.
Will Tiger finish in the top 10?
Yes: +500 at BetMGM
If you want some action on Woods to have success in this tournament but don’t want to go straight to the unlikely scenario of him actually winning, this isn’t a bad place to start. The chances of him finishing in the top 10 aren’t better than him not, but absolutely nobody would be surprised if he found a way to stick around through Saturday. And once you get red-shirt Woods on Sunday, anything can happen.
Will Tiger have a bogey free round?
Yes: +700 at DraftKings
Round 1 or 2: +2000 at FanDuel
Don’t let Woods’ first round of the 2020 Masters fool you, these are not props you should expect to hit. That round still stands as the last time Woods has gone without a bogey. Even in his Masters career, it’s been rare of late, previously happening in Round 2 of the 2013 tournament.
Will Tiger hit a hole-in-one?
Yes: +6500 at FanDuel
Hole 4 or 12: +18000 at DraftKings
Hole 6: +13000 at DraftKings
Hole 16: +10000 at DraftKings
The thing about holes-in-one is you can’t predict them. They’re incredibly random. So if you make this bet with that understanding, then there’s no harm in taking a swing at some long odds. Woods has two holes-in-one in his career, but none since 1997 and none at Augusta.
Will Tiger have a tournament albatross?
Yes: +20000 at DraftKings
I would put this in the same category of unlikely to happen as the hole-in-one, and the odds tell you the chances are even less than that. That’s because there are only three par-5 holes for Woods to attempt to finish 3-under. So this is another bet you place, wish upon a star and forget about.
