Tiger Woods odds to win: +2000 The British Open, or Open Championship as they like to call it across the pond, was the only major to cancel entirely and set its sights on 2021. Woods will be aiming for his fourth Claret Jug and first since he went back-to-back in 2005-2006. Tiger and Peyton have seen their odds move early Sunday afternoon, jumping from -180 at FanDuel to currently -205. There are also a variety of prop bets for today's match, including whether players will birdie holes, who will have the longest drive and more. Our staff gives their favorites below. Tiger Woods, who is recovering from a devastating car accident that left him with a shattered leg, describes in an upcoming documentary how he has had to overcome his 'inner demons to perform.'

Tiger Woods' Odds: Currently 28/1 The site of Tiger's third U.S. Open victory in 2008 also stands as one of the greatest golf duels of all time: Woods beat Rocco Mediate in the first hole of a sudden-death playoff after the duo stood tied after four rounds and were still tied after an 18-hole Monday playoff.
Introduction
Tiger No Commission Baccarat is a commission-free baccarat variant that pays 1 to 2 on a winning banker total of six. The game can be found at the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore. What sets it apart is that it adds five new side bets, all of them high house edge sucker bets. This page explains all the rules and breaks down the odds of the new bets the game brings to baccarat.
Rules
As usual for baccarat games, I capitalize the names of bets, including Player and Banker, and use lower case for the people playing the game, to avoid confusion.
- Tiger No Commission Baccarat follows the standard drawing rules as in conventional baccarat, which I will assume the reader is already familiar with.
- The 'Nepal variant' of Commission-Free Baccarat is followed on winning Banker bets, in which wins pay 1 to 1, except a winning total of six pays 1 to 2.
- As in conventional baccarat, the Player bet pays 1 to 1 and the Tie bet pays 8 to 1.
- The following side bets are added:
- Tiger Pair — This bet shall win if the Player and or Banker hand form for a pair in the initial two cards, according to the pay table below.
- Tiger — This bet shall win if the Banker hand has a winning total of six, according to the pay table below.
- Small Tiger — Pays 22 to 1 only if the Banker has a winning two-card total of six.
- Big Tiger — Pays 50 to 1 only if the Banker has a winning three-card total of six.
- Tiger Tie — Pays 35 to 1 only if the hand ends in a 6-6 tie.
Following is the pay table for the Tiger Pair bet. Wins are on a 'to one' basis.
