Tiger is +250. That's an awfully low payback for any golf tourney. Vijay and Phil are 12-1, but if you are going to bet before a tourney, I think picking top five or top ten finishes are better paybacks than buying win tickets. But there's no value in betting Tiger. But then, after he wins, somebody will claim there was no value in betting anyone else.
But I have taken a new approach to golf. I prefer waiting until Sunday and will buy 1 or more contenders through live betting on WSEX. I'll likely get somebody within two shots early on Sunday at 20-1 or higher.
