It is, as Jim Nantz has so often put it, "A tradition unlike any other," filled with incredible views and even more spectacular golf. This year's tournament has an added bit of intrigue with the recent play of Tiger Woods, who is back in the Masters' field after missing the previous two years — and ticket prices have been rising in anticipation of his comeback.

But while Woods will no doubt be the fan-favorite to win coming into the weekend, oddsmakers in Las Vegas have put him amongst eight others as the favorites to take home the green jacket.

Take a look below and see who Las Vegas believes has the best chance to win at the Masters this weekend. All lines are courtesy of Jeff Sherman and the Westgate Las Vegas Superbook.
