Tiger Woods<\/a> remains a favorite to win the 2019 Masters, but he now has company at the top of Westgate Las Vegas Superbook’s board.<\/p>\n

Following a poor performance at the Hero World Challenge<\/a> in which Woods, the tournament host, finished 17th in the 18-man field, Westgate downgraded him from 10-to-1 odds at Augusta National to 12-1. The 14-time major champ is now a co-favorite with Jordan Spieth<\/a> and Justin Rose<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Woods is a four-time time Masters champ, but hasn’t slipped on the green jacket since 2005. Spieth matched Woods’ Masters scoring record during his 2015 win, and has four top-three finishes in five starts at Augusta National.<\/p>\n

Rose is currently highest-ranked of the three at No. 2. The Brit is fractions of a point off the top spot<\/a>, which he has already held at three different points since September, but is currently owned by Brooks Koepka<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Speaking of Koepka, the three-time major champ and reigning PGA Tour Player of the Year is part of a foursome at 14-to-1 odds. Koepka is joined by fellow major winners to have held the No. 1 spot, Rory McIlroy<\/a>, Dustin Johnson<\/a>, and Justin Thomas<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Rickie Fowler<\/a> is next at 16-1, followed by Jon Rahm<\/a>, fresh off his four-shot win at the Hero<\/a>, at 18-1.<\/p>\n

Two-time Masters champ Bubba Watson<\/a>, Jason Day<\/a>, Bryson DeChambeau<\/a>, and Tony Finau<\/a>, who moved into the top 10 of the Official World Golf Ranking for the first time<\/a> with his runner-up in the Bahamas, all check in at 25-to-1 odds. Defending Masters champ Patrick Reed<\/a> is 30-1, while reigning British Open champ Francesco Molinari<\/a> is 40-1. Three-time Masters winner Phil Mickelson is 50-1.<\/p>\n

Woods got as high as a 9-to-1 favorite following his win at the Tour Championship in September, but has struggled since. He lost all four of his matches at the Ryder Cup, <\/span>fell to Phil in “The Match<\/a>,” and nearly finished dead last in his tournament this past weekend. Woods isn’t expected to tee it up again until the Farmers Insurance Open in late January.<\/span><\/p>\n
