Oddsmakers give Woods 20-1 shot to claim a 2018 major
Tiger Woods hasn't played competitive golf in nearly 300 days, and hasn't won a major since 2008, but Las Vegas oddsmakers aren't particularly pessimistic about his chances of winning a 15th major title in 2018.
Woods is listed at 20-1 to win a major championship next season, while Jordan Spieth and Dustin Johnson are co-favorites at 3-2 to win one of the four biggest events in golf.
Rory McIlroy, who spent most of his 2017 campaign battling a rib injury, is next at 5-2.
