The oddsmakers at Bovada.lv make Rory McIlroy the favorite to win the 2013 Masters, even ahead of Tiger Woods.
McIlroy, the 2012 PGA Tour Player of the Year, has never finished in the top 10 at Augusta National. He finished tied for 15th in 2011 after leading after the first three rounds but melted down on Sunday, coughing up a four-stroke lead.
This past season, McIlroy finished tied for 40th. But McIlroy started the 2012 season slowly before eventually finishing on top of both the PGA and European Tours Money lists. McIlroy also won the PGA Championship. He has won a major in each of the last two years.
