Tiger Woods is back and this week he’ll be looking for the 15th major championship of his career when he tees it up at Augusta National Golf Club.

Not only is Tiger stalking his 15th major, he is also trying to win his fifth Masters title.

Of course Tiger is the big favorite, but Australian Geoff Ogilvy is getting some attention from punters, as his recent form play warrants keeping an eye out for him. South African Trevor Immelman is the defending champion.

He won last year with the highest final round for a Masters champ in the history of the tournament. Immelman posted a 75 on Sunday during the 2008 tournament, a three-over par round that didn’t sink his day, as he still won by three strokes.

American Phil Mickelson is always going to be a player bettors back in the majors and the masters is no different, as he has had steady action heading into Masters week. Lefty won the first major of his career at Augusta back in 2004 when he birdied five of the last seven holes to grab the green jacket…it was a very impressive performance.
