Tiger Woods goes for green jacket No. 5 at Augusta National Golf Club on Thursday, as the 2008 golf season kicks into high gear with the first round of The Masters.

Woods is so heavily favored in the first major of the season that he’s almost not worth betting on. At BodogLife.com, the greatest golfer of our generation is listed Woods as a 1/1 favorite to tame Augusta for the fifth time. Tiger had to settle for a second-place tie in last year’s Masters, and he hasn’t been fitted for a green jacket since 2005. Woods also won in 1997, 2001 and 2002.

Some bettors may not remember that Zach Johnson won last year’s Masters after shooting one-over par for 72 holes. Johnson has had a rocky start to the new golf season and so far only has one Top 10 finish to his name.

The chances of him returning to the top of the leaderboard at Augusta again look unlikely, and the golf oddsmakers have set Johnson as a 66/1 longshot underdog.

After Woods’s ridiculously low odds at , the odds climb quickly with Phil Mickelson next at 10/1, followed by Vijay Singh at 18/1. Mickelson has won twice before at Augusta in 2006 and 2004, while Singh has one green jacket hanging in his closet after winning back in 2000.

If Woods does end up wearing the green jacket over his red shirt on Sunday again, bettors can still make some profit off a Tiger win by betting on some props at .

Just a few of the numerous props being offered include ‘how many birdies will Tiger get?’, and ‘what will Tiger’s first-round score be?’ The birdies total was set at 16.5 with both the over and under coming in at -120, while the first-round score total was set at 70.5 with the over being favored at -188 and the under at 138.

At The Masters last year, by way of comparison, Woods recorded only 10 birdies and shot a 73 in the opening round, just in case you are in a Masters pool where you can only pick Tiger on one day of the tournament.
