With the Masters quickly approaching in a couple months I thought it would be fun to write a post predicting how many Majors each of the top men on the tour will win in 2015. Online sportsbook Bovada.lv (Bodog for Canadians) has the odds available for several of the top golfers, as well as a futures wager for a golfer to win at least one major on the tour that includes all of the notable players.
Rory McIlroy
You have to start with Rory McIlroy. The only player that Bovada considers to have a better chance at winning a Major than not this season. Here are his odds for the number of majors he will win this year.
- None 2.20
- One 2.25
- Two 6.00
- Three 21.00
- Four 81.00
Rory is in great form, but Majors are extremely hard to win. He did win the last two Majors on the Tour though so it might not be completely out of the question that he keeps his streak alive and wins the Masters this year (the only Major to elude him so far). I like the odds for two here. I’m a believer.
Tiger Woods
None 1.14- One 5.00
- Two 34.00
- Three 201.00
- Four 501.00
Woods is so far removed from when he was in top form that it’s somewhat surprising he is still the second golfer listed by Bovada for these bet opportunities. Tiger hasn’t won a major championship since the US Open in 2008 and it’s been all down hill since then. He didn’t even win a tournament last year.
Phil Mickelson
None 1.07- One 7.00
- Two 67.00
- Three 301.00
- Four 1001.00
I’m surprised that Mickelson is being given less of a chance than Woods to win one of these Majors. He won the Open Championship just two years ago so he isn’t that far removed from Major success. That said he also didn’t win any tournaments last year and I don’t expect him to rectify that with all the new strong golfers on tour today.
Adam Scott
None 1.20- One 4.33
- Two 34.00
- Three 251.00
- Four 751.00
Scott is the golfer that Bovada is giving the second best shot at winning at least a major this season. He has one major win in his career, back in 2013 at the Masters. He also hit one win last year on the Tour. The safe money is on Scott not winning a major this season.
Bovada also has Major Wins odds for Bubba Watson, Jordan Spieth, Rickie Fowler, Justin Rose, Jason Day and Henrik Stenson at the site. To find these odds visit Bovada.lv and click on ‘Golf’ followed by ‘Futures’ in the left sidebar.
