Sometimes he's as low as even money, but usually he's 3-1 or 4-1 (mix in some 8-1's after a dry spell - like the '99 PGA). So that means you'd break even, give or take. But in '97 at Augusta the odds were very long (must have been 20-1 or more) so you'd be way up overall, just from that bet. He’s won 30% (13 for 44 - WOW) of the majors he’s entered as a pro.

I have a feeling one would be close to even but I’m too lazy to go do the math. I’d like to know what the money made would be if you bet 100 bucks on Tiger in every major since 1998.

Hard to argue with Tiger at Augusta & Torrey. And, as you pointed out, Tiger's due at Augusta. I think a Euro will get in the mix at the British and/or the PGA. That one at the British this year broke their "streak" and there are a lot of talented European players ready to claim a major (Rose, Garcia, etc). Nice picks, I'm going to archive this to see how you did next year. I like the Carnac impersonation, all you need is the hat.
