Not out of the Woods yet; Can Tiger Mount a Comeback?
If you were an offshore bookmaker, would you make him an odds-on favorite, or would you best prop would be that he doesn’t throw his back out during a tournament? Most sportsbooks seem to be leaning toward the latter. LL Cool J said “don’t call it a comeback;” Tiger has not only called it a comeback, but has called it that twice. He was slated to return to competition in October’s Safeway Open, but he pulled out three days after committing to play. Tiger Woods is now scheduled to appear at the Tiger Woods-hosted Hero World Challenge in December, which is a benefit for the Tiger Woods Foundation.
Radiocaddyshack: I, Robot am the Legend of Bagger Vance
When you bet on golf at a sportsbook, you put your money on human beings, but there might come a day when golf robots like LDRIC (Launch Directional Robot Intelligence Circuitry) will have taken over the world’s courses in lieu of your Tiger Woods and your Jason Days. Of course, by then Skynet will most likely be online and humanity will have been replaced by machines, so there will probably not be a lot of golf betting going on. So what or who is LDRIC? A seven-foot tall, 600-pound, moveable robot which top club speed is designed to max out at 130 mph – but could go as high as 152 mph.
2016 Safeway Open on notice: Here there be Tiger Woods
The golf betting odds of whoever participates in the upcoming Safeway Open have just received a blow. Fourteen-time major champion Tiger Woods hopes to play in the tournament that will open the 2016-17 PGA Tour season, and which will take place at the Silverado Resort and Spa in Napa, California on October 13th-16th. Woods seems poised to make up for lost time. He hasn’t played a competitive round on the PGA Tour since August 2015 when he finished in a tie for 10th place in the Wyndham Championship, but now he has the Turkish Airlines Open, the Tiger Woods Foundation-run Hero World Challenge, and the Tiger Woods Invitational all lined up for the fall.

Mickelson Missed Making Memories
No one would’ve bet on golf legend Phil Mickelson coming within one put of making history – and missing. No one in the history of modern majors has ever been able to shoot 62 at an open. That’s 156 years of history including 116 US Opens, 144 Open Championships, and 80 Masters. In fact no one in that tenure has been able to come as close as Mickelson did on Thursday at the Royal Troon in Ayrshire, Scotland. The 46-year old golfer played “one of the best rounds of his life” but ultimately admitted that he “felt like a higher power was working against him”. After re-watching the footage, those who bet on golf might just agree.
