Topic: The worst odds of winning... - page 2. (Read 251 times)
^^ He was still considered on the best in any sports, comparable to Michael Jordan of Basketball and Tom Brady of Football because of their approach and mentality towards the game. That they take every challenge and negativity against them and turn it into positive and win against all odds. So who knows? maybe Tiger has still some in his tank to win another tournament at least end his career in a good note.
I think that what happened in the Master of Augusta (2019) excited us all to believe a possible return... an accident "again" changed everything, age and old injuries are taking their toll on one of the greatest athletes of all time, you may not know anything about Golf but you surely know who Tiger Woods is.
The news this time isn't his big chance to win but that for the first time he's up against the odds, even the worst for a first-time Major winner.
There is a possible return of what is considered the most dominant player in the history of golf and even of any sport in its comparison, at the level of stars like Michael Jordan.
I think a withdrawal is seen in the short term at least in the PGA.

A little offtopic but I'll say this: I've never been interested in golf, but of course I heard about Tiger Woods. I have great doubts that his dominance is commensurate with other sports, since the number of players who completely devote their lives to golf is much less than chess players, football players, basketball players, etc. I think that if you come up with some kind of universal ELO coefficient for different sports, then Woods will not even be in the hundreds of top athletes.
If I remember correctly, there was a thread about Tigers' comeback in 2019 but I can't find it. Anyhow, after that he suffered another devastating injury so I doubt that he can make a great comeback and win another masters. So I think it's jus about right what are the odds for him this year. It's a long shot, but I wouldn't bet on him though, seems to be that he is already no longer in his prime obviously and golf looks very simple but it is very taxing to the body.

I would bet on him based on the odds,I know it will be difficult now for him knowing his age and condition but he is the best golf player or was the best golf player in the world.Most probably the bookies know more than use when it comes to publishing odds but there are certain times when they make errors as they are humans just like us,it would be nice if we for once take profit from some bookie error when we know that they profit from our errors daily.I don't think the physical condition will impact him a lot so why not give a shot when the odds are good.
Lots of factors to consider, player status, age, injuries regardless if it's minor or major, improving opponents, post-prime performance, etc.
Definitely it was the age factor + injury that is the main reason for this odds. Assuming all players has the same skill set, age and injuries always play the bigger part overshadowing experience and other previous achievements. Tigerwood is a Legend yes, but legends are destined to be replaced by younger bloods or rising star of that field.
That assumption will make the potential of the athlete unable to bring out his abilities to the fullest and can make him lose.
Nothing lasts forever in this world, and neither does sports.
All of them will surely be replaced by those who are younger and have more abilities than the previous generation.
So it's only natural that the previous generation can experience defeat against the new generation.
It's bound to happen at some point and like what the others have mentioned already the same thing goes with the other good players that are playing different sports. Eventually, their performance will regress, it's already out of their control and I think it's one of the reasons why some players tend to retire early as it's better for them to retire before reaching that point of regression while others prefer to really push it until the end. The odds might not look good for him but it's not the lowest based on what i've seen from the outright markets.

I think most of the people in this forum would agree that age is indeed something we should take onto consideration before betting on someone close to being too old for the game. Some younger players can still play and practice for 8hours a day and grind to make his body fit to a certain point of perfection for the game. Yes, not all of us know Tiger Woods or Golf or both, but in terms of sports in general, the age is always taken onto consideration.
Some might say that Tiger Woods is a legend and his experience and skills on this field is boundless, but we also know that the more you get old the lesser you can be better at something. Even Efren Bata Reyes, Michael Jordan, Mike Tyson, all are getting old and cannot be the same person as they are when they where younger. Hence, I cannot say that I wouldn't bet on Tiger Woods, but would consider his current status.
Not just Tiger Woods but there are other big names in Sports who are dominating in their respective sports and later on, they will be against the odds as the Favorite. Not just that they already falling off of their prime but there are always competitors who will try to take their spotlight.
After all, Tiger Woods' reputation will be cemented forever as one of the greats. Placing money for him might be worthy too with the right analysis or just a simple reason that placing a bet for him as a support.

First, most of us really know who Tiger Woods is even if we say we are not familiar with other golfers. I guess, when you say golf, one name that we always connect is Tiger Woods. That's how popular he is. But just like you said, age and other factors will contribute to giving such odds to him. He is not always at his prime in this sports. Just like Pacquiao in boxing. They won't hold the title forever. Let us accept the fact that younger blood will replace them sooner or later.

But if you believe in the legendary Tiger Woods and you think he has lots of fuels left in the tank, that's a great opportunity to bet for him as you don't see that kind of odds being put on top players of All-Time on their respective sports.
It's common for great players that are already past their prime as their some rising stars who are now taking the stage.
