You can bet on Tiger Woods to win the 2022 Masters—with the possibility of a refund
J.D. Cuban
With the 2021 Masters in the books, oddsmakers are posting odds for the 2022 Masters … and there’s obvious intrigue with a certain 15-time major champion who did not tee it up last week at Augusta. Tiger Woods is recovering from serious injuries sustained after his February single-car accident, and for some, even thinking about him playing golf sometime soon might be stretch.
But not for gamblers.
William Hill is among a number of sportsbooks posting odds for Woods to win the 2022 Masters, giving him 40-to-1 odds on winning his sixth Masters title in 2022. The obvious question is whether Woods will be able to play a year from now. To remedy those fears, a William Hill spokesman said it will refund any bet on Woods if he does not tee it up next year. Other sportsbooks in the U.S. also have promised the same.
Woods recently returned home to Florida to continue the rehab process after suffering numerous injuries to his right leg. Woods initially had a rod inserted into his tibia to stabilize the fractures, as well as screws and pins inserted into his foot and ankle, according to reporting by Golf Digest’s Daniel Rapaport. Additionally, trauma to the muscle and soft tissue of the leg required a surgical release of the covering of the muscles to relieve pressure due to swelling.
