Tiger Woods recently announced his return to competitive golf. His announcement comes one month after telling the media that he may never play competitive golf again. Since we all know Tiger’s hate/hate relationship with the media, maybe he was messing with people when he said that and maybe he was much farther along in his recovery than he lead on.

Anyway, BookMaker.eu has posted Tiger Woods props for his return to professional golf, as well as the 2018 year. You can find the full list of Tiger props below. As well as my predictions as to what will happen.

Under 2.5

Over 3.5
Under 3.5

Over 6.5
Under 6.5
