Tiger Woods may be the best golfer in the world but  not every punter rates him a certainty to win the Australian Masters with many taking shorts odds about the Tiger being tamed at Kingston Heath this weekend.
 
Sportingbet Australia  is offering top odds of $2.60 about Woods  but its CEO Michael Sullivan  said  punters were rushing to back the rest of the field at odds of $1.45.
 
“We have taken  a lot of bets, including one of $20,000 at $1.45 ,  that someone other than Woods will be wearing the gold jacket  come Sunday afternoon.
 
“It is a brave move taking $1.45 that the greatest golfer ever won’t defeat this field.
 
“However, he did blow up in the final round last week and there is a school of thought that the sand belt course won’t suit him.”
 
Punters are also backing that little known Australian golfer Anthony Painter ’s 15 year-old course record of 64 will survive Tiger’s attack on Kingston Heath.
 
“Tiger is a $3.75 chance to break Painter’s record or a $4.50 to equal the mark,” Sullivan said.
 
“ The Punters have lapped up the $2.00 about Painter’s mark  proving too good for Tiger backing it in to $1.50.”
