Tiger Woods finished in third place in his 2012 debut overseas at the HSBC Championship two weeks ago.
It was a dsiappointing finish for woods, who held a share of the 54-hole lead and failed to capitalize with a victory.
This week, Woods will make his 2012 PGA Tour season debut at Pebble Beach, for the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.
Given his recent performance, oddsmakers have installed Woods as an assertive favorite to win this week.
Just how big of a favorite?
Woods is going off at 5/1 on the Latest PGA Tour Betting Odds at Bovada Sportsbook, which is four-times the favorite as his next-closest compeition, in Phil mickelson, Dustin Johnson and Hunter Mahan. That trio of talent has been set with odds at 20/1 to win this week.
Woods has still yet to win an official PGA Tour event since 2009, but clearly oddsmakers belive that he is getting his game back, and playing in a tournament he has won before, on a golf course that he has also won a Major Championship on.
His most-recent finish at Pebble Beach was a top-five perfomance in the 2010 U.S Open.
Woods will be playing with Dallas Cowboy quarterback Tony Romo this week as his teammate on the Pro-Am side of things.
Coverage of the 2012 AT&T pebble Beach National Pro-Am will begin on Thursday afternoon and Friday on the golf channel, with CBS picking up coverage on the weekend
