A playoff win in Mexico snapped a five-year victory drought for Phil Mickelson, but it still left him behind Tiger Woods when talking betting odds for the upcoming Masters.
Mickelson opened at 30/1 at the Westgate Las Vegas Superbook back in August, and last week his odds for a fourth green jacket were 25/1. But after he outlasted Justin Thomas at the WGC-Mexico Championship, Mickelson’s odds were trimmed to 18/1 – just behind Woods, who is sitting steady at 16/1.
World No. 1 Dustin Johnson remains the favorite at 8/1, followed by 2015 winner Jordan Spieth and Thomas, who are now level at 10/1 following Thomas’ Honda win and Mexico runner-up. Here’s a look at the latest odds, courtesy of the Westgate:
