Tiger Woods' accelerated comeback has resulted in him being placed atop the odds of taking home a fifth green jacket.

With the Masters less than a month away, the 42-year-old has leaped ahead of the world's top two golfers, Dustin Johnson and Justin Thomas, and being given the best odds of winning at Augusta National.

Woods most recently finished tied for second at the Valspar Championship, and was also named the favorite to take home the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill this weekend.
