Bookies running scared but stay on the Tiger’s tail

THE bookmakers are running scared of Tiger Woods ahead of the WGC-CA Championship at Doral Golf Resort and Spa in Miami.

Some firms have issued odds-on quotes about the world number one winning a fifth straight event this season — a clear indication they have had enough of punters forming an orderly queue every Monday morning to collect on his latest victory.

But should cramped prices put us off? Woods is in the form of his career, and with the Masters less than a month away, the layers are already wary that the player who scored his 64th PGA Tour win at the weekend will go on and claim the grand slam — Boylesports are offering a best price in the village 12-1 that he wins all four majors this year.
