Oddsmakers Are Betting That Tiger Woods Will Return to Golf This Year

In recent weeks, in the aftermath of his cheating scandal, Tiger Woods announced that he would be taking an indefinite break from the game of professional golf. Most recently it was speculated that he would not return until 2012. Now, Las Vegas oddsmakers are betting that the golfing great will return to the sport this year, and that he will win.

One of the outfits accepting bets on Woods' return to golf is Station Casinos, the operators of Red Rock and Green Valley Ranch casinos. They believe that there is better than an 83 percent chance that Woods will win a PGA tournament sometime during 2010. Their confidence is so high that they are setting the line at 1 to 5 odds.

There are currently 41 PGA events scheduled for 2010, and Woods typically plays in about half of those tournaments.
