Tiger Woods has been posted at 40/1 odds by the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook to win this week’s Safeway Open in Napa, Calif., Woods’ first tournament in about 14 months.
Odds of 40/1 theoretically translate to Woods having a 2.44 percent chance of winning the PGA Tour event.

Bookmakers, though, typically put a shorter price on Woods than his true odds dictate. That’s because they anticipate lots of people betting on Woods.
Woods’ true price, based on his odds to make the cut and the over/under on his first-round score, are about 80/1, Jeff Sherman, who makes the golf odds at the Westgate, told Omnisport in a text message.
