Tiger Woods is the new favourite for next year’s US Masters at Augusta after he secured his first win on the PGA Tour in five years.
Woods sealed his 80th PGA Tour title in the Tour Championship at East Lake with a final round of 71 and was welcomed with joyous scenes on the 18th hole as a par wrapped up a 2-stroke victory from Billy Horschel.
...which makes him the favourite ahead of 9/1 Jordan Spieth and 11/1 Rory McIlroy.
Woods is also joint favourite for the US Open alongside Dustin Johnson after he went from 14/1 into 9/1 for the tournament which will be held at Pebble Beach, the scene of his record-breaking 15-stroke annihilation of the field in the US Open in 2000.
