<b>TIGER WOODS 3/1 FAVORITE TO WIN FIFTH MASTERS TITLE</b>
<a href="http://www.pinnaclesports.com/?refer=xulticap">Pinnacle</a> Releases Odds On Golf’s First Major
WILLEMSTAD, CURACAO (April 3, 2006)—When the 70th Masters tees off this
week at Augusta National Golf Club, all eyes will be on Tiger Woods as he
attempts to win his fifth green jacket. Only the third player in history
to win four green jackets, a win this year will pull Woods within one of
Jack Nicklaus’ record six Masters titles. Already the only multiple winner
on tour in 2006, PinnacleSports.com lists Tiger Woods as a 3/1 favorite to
continue his mastery of Augusta National in this year’s first major
championship.
The largest sports betting site on the Internet, <a href="http://www.pinnaclesports.com/?refer=xulticap">Pinnacle</a> has
calculated odds on 75 golfers expected to participate in this year’s
Masters with Woods listed as an overwhelming favorite to win the
tournament for the fifth time in 12 years. When making Tiger such a large
favorite in the Masters, the odds makers at PinnacleSports.com took into
consideration his current play, past performance at Augusta, ability to
perform under pressure, public sentiment and statistics for the year among
several other factors.
<a href="http://www.pinnaclesports.com/?refer=xulticap">Pinnacle</a> lists 2004 Masters champ Phil Mickelson with the
second-best odds to win this year’s tournament at 13/2 odds after his
historic 13-shot victory at last weekend’s BellSouth Classic. Despite
winning four majors between them, South Africans Ernie Els (9/1) and
Retief Goosen (11/1) are still looking for their first green jackets. The
oddsmakers at PinnacleSports.com have listed Vijay Singh, the 2000 Masters
winner, at 13/1 to dethrone Tiger at this year’s tournament. Other leading
contenders at Augusta National this weekend include: Sergio Garcia (25/1),
Luke Donald (28/1), Jim Furyk (30/1), Jose Maria Olazabal (30/1), and
David Toms (35/1). PinnacleSports.com has installed 2003 champion Mike
Weir at 40/1 along with last year’s runner-up Chris DiMarco.
