Tiger Woods may be the favorite to triumph at Muirfield this weekend, but don’t count on the world's No. 1 ending his five-year major drought.

The British Open is arguably the most challenging major in golf, and despite the U.S. Open’s incredibly difficult course this year, it wouldn’t be a surprise for the British Open to present equally difficult obstacles.



In 2002, Woods posted a 10-over 81 in the third round of the tournament at Muirfield, and while a lot has changed in the last 11 years, his recent performance hasn’t exactly been a ringing endorsement.

Still, Woods is listed as an 8-1 favorite to triumph this weekend. Bet at your own risk.

Only one player has won multiple majors in the last four-plus years (Rory McIlroy), and there’s reason to believe we could see yet another new champion at Muirfield this year.

Interestingly enough, McIlroy is listed as a 25-1 favorite to win the tournament (along with Lee Westwood), just ahead of last year’s winner, Ernie Els.



Let’s take a look at the 10 golfers with the best odds of winning the British Open and break down a few sleepers who could outplay their odds and challenge for the Claret Jug.
