How good will Tiger Woods when he comes back this year? Pretty good, if you believe the Las Vegas oddsmakers.

Out more than eight months following knee surgery last year, Woods' odds of winning this year's Master's Tournament are listed at 2-1. The next closest is Phil Mickelson at 10-1. This, all, of course, before anyone has seen him play at the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championships at the new The Ritz-Carlton Golf Club, Dove Mountain in Marana, Ariz.

The 2009 Masters, which begins April 9, will be the first major for Woods since his dramatic 18-hole playoff win over Rocco Mediate last June on the South Course at Torrey Pines.

After Mickelson, by the way, the next closest is Padraig Harrington, who won two majors last year. He's listed as 14-1, along with Sergio Garcia.

Former Masters champion Vijay Singh is 15-1 to win the Masters, while Ernie Els and Anthony Kim are 20-1.

The following players are all listed at 25-1 to win the 2009 Masters: Jim Furyk, Adam Scott, Camilo Villegas, Geoff Ogilvy, Henrik Stenson, K.J. Choi, Luke Donald, Mike Weir, Stuart Appelby and defending champion Trevor Immelman.
