I'd take those odds over Mickelson's 20-1.........
Mickelson's peak years are over, his age and his back problems are taking their toll.....he's currently 22nd on the tour.
What I've admired most about Woods throughout his career was his obsession with physical conditioning and weight training, something that was pretty much unheard of in the world of professional golf. Others have trained but not to the extent that Woods did. The intensity of his workouts could have been his downfall since you only stay young for a short period of time before your body stops responding to the stresses being put on it.
Phil Mickelson is now 44 with a back problem. Woods is 39 with a head problem. In terms of physical conditioning, Woods is by far in better condition to resume and continue winning on the PGA tour than Mickelson is.
Tour players say that golf is 90% mental and if Woods can regain his mental confidence again, there's no reason not to expect him to return to the top of the tour players.
But I think he can still put together four rounds and contend and hopefully win a major. Two years ago he came out of nowhere to win the British Open, and I would have said his game was totally unsuited for winning a British.
