Just when you thought you’d seen and heard just about everything in golf, we now learn that Bookmaker Bovada has added a new betting line entry for gamblers who think they can determine if Tiger Woods will ever shoot 85 again.

Yep, that’r right.  You can now bet on it. According to SportsBettingSites.org, the Bovado gaming site is exclusive to the US market and they accept players from 47 US states – excluding only Maryland, Washington State and New York for legal reasons. They are now geared up to see how many patrons will take their chances on a Tiger Woods’ 85 ever happening again.  Good money is on the line and some will win big, perhaps.   Though there are doubters.

The history of the Bovado bookmaker dates back to 1994 and they have a great track record. Gamblers can bet matches both in play and also do live betting while watching games on TV. New players are welcomed with a 50% up to $250 initial deposit match in the form of free play credits and Bovada accepts US VISA debit and credit card deposits. In February 2015, Bovada was the featured US betting site for SportsBettingSites.org.

After Tiger’s reputation took a major hit following his play at the Memorial, where he shot his worst career round as a pro. This now puts Tiger at  33-1 to win the U.S. Open, 14-1 to win the British Open, 20-1 to win the PGA Championship and 150-1 to top the PGA Tour’s money list by season’s end.  Oddly enough, perhaps the only reason the bets are so low is maybe because people love to bet on a 14-time major champion, irregardless of how he played most recently.

One thing is for sure, the world will be watching Tiger’s upcoming rounds to see if he will ever shoot another 85 (or higher) in a PGA Tour event this year.

Tiger Woods wrecked his own career by switching swing coaches too many times, says Golf Channel analyst Brandel Chamblee.

Tiger Woods, who carded a career-worst 85 on Saturday, and on Sunday finished in last place at the Memorial,  “destroyed” his “great golf game” by fiddling with his swing too many times, according to Brandel Chamblee.

The outspoken Golf Channel analyst has taken the winner of five Memorial tourneys to task over a variety of issues over the years. So it was hardly surprising that he had a few opinions to share about Woods’ wayward shot-making last week at Muirfield Village.

“Time hasn’t robbed Tiger Woods of his game, he’s done this to himself,” Chamblee said of the oft-injured 39-year-old former world No. 1. “He’s traded his genius for the ideas of others. He’s changed his body in the gym for bulk. Everything that we see here is the result of what he’s done over the last four, five, six, seven, eight years.”

Chamblee has long been a proponent of the belief that the origin of Woods’ woes began when he ditched swing guru Butch Harmon in 2003. The 14-time major champion won eight of his grand slam titles with Harmon, six under the watchful eye of Hank Haney, and none as an acolyte of Sean Foley or current coach Chris Como.

The revolving door of swing coaches is what has wrecked Woods’ career, Chamblee averred.

“His complete and utter belief in the ideas of others, turning over that great game of his, that’s mysterious to me,” he said. “His desire to build a great game and destroy it, and build a great game and destroy it … destroyed the method that led to his dominance.”

Tiger intimate, Chamblee’s Golf Channel colleague, and the person who persuaded his Stanford teammate to hire his new swing consultant, Notah Begay III, conceded there were “some shortcomings” in Woods’ game over the last few days.
