A bettor at Circa Sportsbook made a significant bet of $222,000 on Tiger Woods to not win the Masters at -11,100, for a payout of only $2,000. The bettor made this significant bet, predicting that Tiger Woods would not take home his sixth Masters championship. After one day of action, Woods seems to have proven this bettor right. Woods finished the first round with a 2-over-par 74 while his playing partners Viktor Hovland and Xander Schauffele posted a 7-under-par 65 and a 4-under-par 68, respectively.

Before his poor performance on Thursday, Woods would have required a miracle to win his sixth Green Jacket. FanDuel placed Woods at +7,000 to win the tournament and just -176 to make the cut. The favorite to win the tournament on Friday was Jon Rahm at FanDuel at (+350), followed by Scottie Scheffler (+490) and Brooks Koepka (+750). The bettor's bet puts them in a good position for a payout unless Woods manages to make a drastic comeback in the following rounds.
