Zozo Championship at Sherwood 2020 odds: Are the expectations unfair for Tiger Woods?

Another week, another limited-field event rescheduled from the Far East to the West Coast, as the Zozo Championship has been moved from Japan to Sherwood Country Club to be held this week. Tiger Woods will defend his title at the Thousand Oaks, Calif., venue that hosted the Hero World Challenge 14 times (2000-2013). In his 12 appearances in the event, Tiger won it five times and finished runner-up another five times—and he defeated David Duval in the “Showdown at Sherwood” in 1999, a made-for-TV competition.

Though he had the same 33-1 odds at last year’s Zozo Championship, Tiger had just won the Masters earlier that year. The circumstances are a bit different this year. Tiger hasn’t finished better than 37th in six starts since February, and he hasn’t seriously contended since the restart. Oddsmakers haven’t seen consistency in Tiger’s game this year, thus the middle-of-the-pack odds for the 15-time major champion.

Jon Rahm is the slight favorite over Xander Schauffele, who was beat out by Jason Kokrak last week at Shadow Creek. They are followed closely by Rory McIlroy and Justin Thomas. Dustin Johnson would likely be either a co-favorite with Rahm or an outright favorite, having played here dozens if not hundreds of times with the father of his fiancée, Wayne Gretzky. DJ withdrew from last week’s CJ Cup after testing positive for covid-19.

Here are the complete odds for every player competing in the 2020 Zozo Championship at Sherwood Country Club.
