Tiger Woods is now the favourite to win at Bay Hill

As he makes his comeback to upper reaches of the golfing arena Tiger Woods has become the favourite to win the Arnold Palmer Invitational this week, according to SB Nation.

Woods is trying to make his return to success in the sport after a long time away following back surgery and recently finished joint second in the Valspar Championship just behind England’s Paul Casey.

Golf is often tricky to pick in terms of the odds with there being so many individuals who can win a certain event, with a field often being up to 150 at the start.

As a result Woods being the favourite doesn’t mean he will definitely win, it just means that he has a strong chance of coming out on top in the event come the end of day four.

Woods has been one of the greatest to ever grace the courses and is the heavy favourite to win the PGA Tour event this week priced at 6-1.
