Will Tiger Woods Make the Cut at the 2022 Masters?
It wasn't that long ago that absolutely nobody thought that Tiger Woods would be teeing it up at the Masters this week, just a little over a year he got in a serious car accident that almost caused him to lose his legs.
But yet here we are. Tiger Woods will be teeing it up on Thursday for the first time since November 2020, when he finished T-38 at the delayed Masters.
So, the question remains, how will Tiger Woods perform this week? WynnBET has recently released odds on whether or not he'll make the cut, so let's dive in.
Will Tiger Woods Make the Cut at the Masters?
- Yes -120
- No +100
WynnBET has Tiger's odds to make the cut this week at -120, which is an implied probability of 54.55%. That makes it a near coin flip for whether or not we'll see him on the weekend.
If you want to bet on "yes," then history would be in your favor. Tiger has never missed the cut at the Masters as a professional. The only time he missed the cut was back in 1996 when he was competing as an amateur.
Also, it's relatively easy to make the cut at the Masters compared to other events, as weird as that sounds. There's 90 golfers competing, and the top 50 plus ties at the end of Friday make the cut. So, in theory, you have a better than 50% chance to make the cut.
Not only that, but there are a handful of golfers that are near locks to miss the cut. If you win the Masters, you're able to play in the tournament every year for as long as you'd like. Golfers like Fred Couples, Larry Mize, Sandy Lyle, won't be playing on the weekend, and the majority of amateurs competing will miss the cut as well.
I think Tiger's experience alone will be enough to make the cut this week, but his injuries will likely slow him down on Saturday and Sunday.
