Tiger out to break Oz duck

World Number 1 golfer Tiger Woods arrived in Melbourne earlier this week ahead Thursday's JBWere Australian Masters at the Kingston Heath Golf Club in Heatherton, Victoria.

Woods, who is only played in 3 previous events in Australia - the 1996 Australian Open, 1997 Masters at Huntingdale, and most recently the 1998 Presidents Cup at Royal Melbourne, is yet to record to a win on Australian soil and is determined to break the duck.

While Woods comes into the event in solid but not startling form, having placed sixth at the World Golf Championships tournament in Shanghai, TAB Sportsbet has installed the American as $2.50 favourite in the early stages of betting. Other golfers who could challenge Tiger include Geoff Ogilvy ($10), Adam Scott ($15), Michael Sim ($17), Aaron Baddeley ($21), John Senden ($21), Rod Pampling ($23), Matthew Goggin ($26) and Stuart Appleby ($34).

Further to the usual markets, TAB Sportsbet will also be offering the options of Top 5, Top 10 and Top Australian as well as daily features including 3 Balls for the first two days of the tournament and 2 Balls for the weekend along with special markets for Tiger Woods.
