If you're looking for a long shot at the 2015 U.S. Open, it may be hard to fathom, but Tiger Woods might be your best option. Did you ever think you would see the day when one of the greatest golfers in history had 50-1 odds to win the U.S. Open?
| Player | Odds |
| Rory McIlroy | 7-1 |
| Jordan Spieth | 8-1 |
| Phil Mickelson | 16-1 |
| Dustin Johnson | 18-1 |
| Justin Rose | 18-1 |
| Rickie Fowler | 18-1 |
| Tiger Woods | 50-1 |
Woods is coming off the worst 72-hole performance of his career at the Memorial, a tournament he once seemed to own. Obviously, confidence in him winning a major isn't particularly high in the golf community. That's exactly why he's a solid betting option in this tournament.
Don't get it twisted, he's not a guy you should be plopping down huge chunks of cash on. But he is still Tiger Woods.
We've seen him in stretches this season still display the skill level that once separated him from every other player in the world. The problem is a lack of consistency. After a nine-hole practice round at Chambers Bay in University Place, Washington, the site of the 2015 U.S. Open, Woods sounded optimistic about his prospects of improving his play through some key adjustments.
Per Bob Harig of ESPN.com, Woods said:
I had to make those. It's more of a commitment than anything else. I had to make a commitment and I have. And things are starting to come together piece by piece. All the big change is already in and now it's just refining it and actually now playing more golf, playing more tournament golf.
Do you trust that Woods can put it together? Golf is a cruel game. There's no doubt Woods has put in the work, but hard work doesn't always render results on the golf course. Yet at 50-1, Woods is still a tantalizing option that I couldn't pass on if I were looking for a player who could produce a huge return on a small investment.
