The campaign of American golfer Tiger Woods for the 2008 PGA Tour is on a perfect start. Just a few weeks ago, Tiger Woods played in his first tournament of the 2008 PGA Tour, and won the 2008 Buick Invivational. And just over the weekend, Tiger Woods played in his 2nd tournament of 2008 and won the 2008 Dubai Desert Classic (not a PGA Tour event), bringing him to a perfect start of 2-of-2 in tournaments and championships. Undoubtedly, the world’s number 1 golfer is on a hot streak, and surpasses the record of Arnold Palmer in most tournament wins.

With this top form, Tiger Woods looks like he might be set to win a Grand Slam, which means to win the Masters, the U.S. Open, The Open Championship and the PGA Championship in the same year.

We know it’s been predicted and said before, but with a roaring start to 2008 as Tiger Woods has had, this time it looks more seriously possible. In fact, it’s so serious, there’s even a bet on how many Majors will Tiger Woods win in 2008.

Odds on how many Majors will Tiger Woods win in 2008:

Zero wins 3/1

One win 33/20

Two wins 11/4

Three wins 6/1

Four wins 12/1

Meanwhile, Tiger Woods has not confirmed his participation in the upcoming 2008 AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, which is the next stop of the 2008 PGA Tour. The AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am tees off on February 7 up to February 10 at Pebble Beach, California.
