Tiger Woods announced yesterday that he recently underwent back surgery for a fifth time. That could jeopardize his ability to play in the Masters, or at the very least, hinder his form if he does tee it up.<\/p>\n

A statement from the 45-year-old Woods said the 15-time major winner underwent “a microdiscectomy procedure to remove a pressurized disc fragment that was pinching his nerve.”<\/p>\n

\n

As a result, oddsmakers are lengthening their lines on Woods winning a sixth green jacket. In December, the SuperBook had Tiger at 40\/1 to win at Augusta National in April. That line today is 50\/1.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Other books aren’t so convinced that Woods’ latest back procedure will keep him from contending in the first major of 2021. BetMGM and PointsBet have him at 40\/1, FanDuel at 31\/1, and DraftKings the shortest at 28\/1.<\/p>\n

A $100 bet even on the shortest odds still nets $2,800.<\/p>\n

The 2021 Masters favorites are defending champion Dustin Johnson<\/a> (7\/1), Bryson DeChambeau (8\/1), and Rory McIlroy (9\/1).<\/p>\n

Documentary Blames Vegas for Tiger Scandal<\/b><\/h2>\n

Writer Armen Keteyian, whose book “Tiger” is the basis for the HBO<\/i> documentary, says Sin City is where Woods lost his morals, and followed in his father Earl’s adulterous ways.<\/p>\n

In the second part of the biography, Tiffany Masters, appropriately named to cater to the young Masters winner, worked as a casino VIP host when Tiger arrived in Southern Nevada in the late 1990s. Woods was in the company of Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley<\/a>, two former NBA superstars known to let loose and indulge in what they had deemed to be the finer things in life.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“In that entourage, Tiger was a bit of a geek,” Masters states in the documentary.<\/p>\n

Masters says casino VIP hosts brought attractive women to Woods, Jordan, and Barkley in a nightclub. But Tiger, she claims, was unsure how to approach them. He allegedly asked Jordan what to say to the ladies.<\/p>\n

\n

Michael, to his ever-loving credit, goes, ‘You tell them you’re Tiger Woods,” revealed Keteyian. “His ability to live a double-life, it started in Vegas.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In December of 2009, Woods admitted to infidelity with his then-wife, Elin Nordegren. Woods’ longtime agent, Mark Steinberg, disputed the claims and statements made in the documentary.<\/p>\n

“Just like the book it is based off of, the HBO<\/i> documentary is just another unauthorized and salacious outsider attempt to paint an incomplete portrait of one of the greatest athletes of all-time,” Steinberg declared.<\/p>\n

Vegas Charity<\/b><\/h2>\n

Though Sin City might have allegedly been where Woods’ escapades started, the golf superstar has done much good in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

The TGR Foundation, Woods’ charity, has held its annual Tiger Jam in Las Vegas for more than 20 years. The weekend-long event includes a poker tournament presented by the World Poker Tour.<\/p>\n

Since its creation in 1998, Tiger Jam has raised more than $22 million for TGR Foundation’s college financial assistance programs. Over one million students have received assistance because of the annual charity event in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
