Tiger Woods with best odds on the AT&T National

Despite the fact that Tiger Woods just became a father, the bookmakers still have him at the top of the props.

Tiger Woods with best odds on the AT&T National Tiger Woods has always been a family man, but the oddsmakers believe that the recent birth of his daughter would not affect his game on any level. Woods skipped the Buick Open because of Sam Alexis, but he is still on the board for the 2007 AT&T National.

The PGA Tournament will start on Thursday, July 5th at the Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, MD. And Tiger Woods still tops the 2007 AT&T National odds list. Woods has the odds on winning at 3/1, according to Bodog Sports.

Odds like this on Tiger Woods could eventually fill up the pockets for the bettors. When we compared the odds of Woods to other golfers starting on Thursday, and Jim Furyk comes second with odds on winning the AT&T National at 11/1. Phil Mickelson has odds of 14/1. Meaning that Mickelson, if he wins the AT&T, would pay almost five times more than Tiger Woods.

Keep in mind that Woods, although currently the greatest golfer, is also a human. The new member of his family would likely play a significant role on his concentration in Bethesda. Enormous pressure would also lay on his shoulders to prove that he is still as focused on his golf career as he is on his family.

We believe that a bet on a golfer other than Tiger Woods is not as risky as it would have been a month ago.
