Oddsmakers release special prop bets for Tiger Woods' PGA Tour return
Despite the PGA Tour's 2017 schedule being three events old, many feel the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines this weekend signals the true beginning of the season.
While several top players will be in the field, all eyes will be on Tiger Woods, who will make his first full-field start on the PGA Tour since August of 2015.
Torrey Pines' layout has been generous to the 14-time major winner in the past, as he has won eight events at the storied California track.
