All Eyes on Woods and Mickelson as Bodog.com Tees Up for The MastersApril 5, 2006With The Masters set to tee off Thursday at Augusta National, much attention will be centered on four-time green jacket winner and defending champion Tiger Woods. Bodog.com has posted the odds for one of golf's most prestigious tournaments. Will a lengthened course at Augusta give the long-hitting Woods the necessary edge to defend his championship? Odds are in his favor. Bodog.com has listed Woods at 2/1 to win The Masters for a fifth time, a feat that would put him within one win of the record held by Jack Nicklaus. Competition, however, will be fierce. Phil Mickelson is coming off a dominating performance at the BellSouth Classic and working toward his second major in a row. Having posted a 13-shot win - the third-largest margin of victory on the PGA Tour in more than 50 years - Mickelson is certain to carry the momentum gained from the BellSouth into The Masters. Bodog.com bookmakers have Mickelson at 11/2 odds to win the tournament. "The Masters brings the world's greatest golfers together in an exclusive tournament that can best be described as a show of sporting precision and finesse," says Calvin Ayre, Founder and CEO of Bodog.com. "We're happy to offer the odds on the first major of the year, and one of golf's most difficult and unpredictable competitions." How will the other three members of golf's "Big Five" fare?
