Tiger Woods (File)

Cape Town - Despite his off-course extra-marital troubles and a change of putter, Tiger Woods is the bookies' favourite to win the 150th British Open at St. Andrews starting on Thursday.

Leading SA bookmakers, GreatOdds, have the world No 1 on offer at 6/1 to win a 15th Major title.

Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy is next best at 16/1 while Ernie Els, searching for a second Open title after his win in 2002, is the leading South African hope at 20/1.

Other SA players to warrant a flutter include Retief Goosen at 50/1 and Charl Schwartzel and Tim Clark at 100/1.

Woods, who has struggled to perform to his high standards since he returned at The Masters at Augusta back in April, has switched to a Nike putter in an attempt to improve his putting on the slow Old Course greens.
