Sports Books Will Be Rooting Heavily Against Tiger Woods At PGA Championship This Weekend

While pretty much any casual sports fan will be rooting for Tiger Woods making his return to the top of the golf pinnacle, one particular group will be rooting against him this weekend: the betting industry.

With Woods teeing it up at the PGA Championship for the first time since his up-and-down performance at Then Masters last month, many people have flocked to sports books to toss not their favorite PGA star.

Obviously, this means sports books will be losing a lot if Tiger Woods were to pull of a miraculous victory this weekend.

“If Tiger were to win, it would be the biggest losing result in BetMGM history,” BetMGM’s Jason Scott said to Yahoo Sports. “Tiger missing the cut would be a good outcome for the sportsbook.”

Scott’s statement is further proof that Tiger Woods is still one of the most popular athletes int he entire world, and flips the whole PGA on its head every time he competes.

This weekend, Woods is a long shot at +6500 to win the PGA Championship. But as more and more people have been riding with him, the number continues to get higher.

As it stands, he sits at -125 to make the cut, up from +115 earlier in the week.

Surely, fans are betting with their hearts when slamming Tiger Woods on the sports books this weekend, which would just make it all the more special if he were to pull off something incredible.
