although you might have a point there. Lots of Tiger money out there, I'm sure.

You out typed me. Once I thought about it for a second... There's a difference between the person who's the Vegas favorite and the best bet. Tigers showing this week ups the value on a lot of other players.

Yes, that’s what I was getting at, but also who do you think has a better actual chance?

Just making what I believe to be a factual statement....I haven’t looked at any actual odds but I would have to believe he is/will be the betting favorite. 

I understand that Vegas odds for Tiger have gotten a bit of ahead of themselves at times during his prior comeback attempts but it’s Bay Hill and Tiger. He could have won this week on a course not particularly well suited for him so I’ve got to believe he will be and deserves to be the favorite at a course that he has (arguably) played better than anywhere else during his career.

Not sure exactly who is in the field of the top guys. I know Tigers history at this event, but golf is not a sport where I think a chalk is a smart bet, especially in a regular season event. Maybe in a major, where the better players/favorites have been through the gauntlet. Even then, there's always so many value bets available.

You would know a lot more about this then me, but I thought Tiger looked a little tired today. probably as much mentally as physically. He's played a lot for someone who's been out such a long time. I'm really not expecting as much good play next week from him as he showed the last two. That said, with the next week off, I can't wait to see him at the Masters.

The bet isn't Tiger or the field, though, either. I'm asking which golfer you think has a better actual chance.

That's not got to do with betting or gamblers or the squares.

Think you missed my reply. I'd say Justin, Dustin, Rahm, and a few others have a little too much game for Tiger right now. BTW Hope you can reply to my post about Tiger looking a little "tired" today...

The staff deleted that reply because you put it in a quote and it linked back to a different post. It has no actual content.

Dustin Johnson isn't in the field next week. Nor is Rahm. And Tiger just beat Justin Rose, and has a great history at Bay Hill. 

So again what player do you think has an actual better chance, chalk betters aside, at Bay Hill, a place where a tiger has won seven times or so?

Scratch that. Eight times.

He did look tired, I agree, but I think that's the mental grind of hitting the ball pretty freaking well and not getting the putts to drop.

Tiger owns Bay Hill. That course is suited for his game so well. And he knows just how to pick it apart.

I don't see much of any one sticking with the GOAT if he brings the game he brought to Palm Harbor with a few more putts dropping.

Ok. I asked you, figuring you would know better then me if Tiger looked tired today mentally or physically. I'm not expecting a lot from him next week, I think he needs some rest right now.  But as far as who will be better next week? I just saw the field. What's up with these guys? It's like when Byron Nelson died, after that no one shows up. At best, Fleetwood, Reed, Fowler never impresses me where I think he'll win. Hell, even our buddy "Lumpy" Herron is in this field. I guess if Tiger can carry his play for one more week, he should contend.

So, what's your answer? Who has a better chance to win than Tiger, actual ability, betting completely to the side?

OK, so Iacas sent me a link earlier which showed who's in the field. What a horrible lineup. This has to be the weakest field of the year. I know it's a Invitational, but c'mon. Goydos Herron, Love, Els and more is this a Senior Tour event? Rory, Tiger, Rickie, Fleetwood, Reed and nobody else. UGH! Making late tee times this weekend, nothing to see here.

    • I was going to start a thread, but this seems like the place.  Yesterday I played my matchplay match at my local club.  My opponent is a notorious sandbagger by reputation.  The pro once pulled his tournament rounds from the past several years and said that it is impossible his tournament rounds are legit based on his handicap. here is what happened last night.  I am getting 4 shots from him.  His current handicap index is 15.3 i shot 45 on the front.   Was down 4 after nine, he had three birdies and shot even par. I was closed out on thirteen, we halved with a bogey.  That bogey put him one over par for his round.   He then took a triple on 14 and then left. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he lied about his score.   I wrote down on my scorecard what the score was.  He put higher values that didn’t affect the outcome of the match to pad his score and apparently make it not look as obvious.   He shot 36 on the front, but claimed 40.  The higher values for his score were in the online scoring app our club uses.  He did it this way: I won #7. He had a 2 foot putt for par that if he made would still lose the hole.   He picked up and said it didn’t matter since I won.  He took a 5 instead of a 4 after picking up a gimme. on #8 his approach shot on this par 4 was 8 inches.  I verbally conceded the putt but I had hit into a hazard.  I finished the hole with a 6.  Instead of birdie he put in for par. on #9, another par 4, his approach was to 18 inches.  I missed my par putt and then knowing how close I verbally conceded the putt.  I missed my bogey putt, he never conceded mine.  Instead of birdie he put down a bogey. He padded his score by 4 shots on the front.  And then did again on 10.  I rinsed one and made 6 on a par 4.  I putted out and he was fishing balls out of the lake so I drove off to the next tee.  He had 15 feet laying two but claimed a 5.     love to know the odds of a 15 handicap being even thru 12 holes on a round of golf.
