Tiger Woods' 2018 Tour Championship win will have a number of different implications for the rest of 2018 as well as 2019. Some of those will be obvious, like this week's Ryder Cup. Others less so, like what it means for next year's Masters. Regardless, this win was not contained to the singular day of September 24, 2018. It will reverberated for months and possibly years.
We got a glimpse of that on Sunday evening when Woods became the betting favorite for the 2019 Masters. Tiger, who has won four green jackets, leapfrogged other players like Jordan Spieth and Dustin Johnson to become the 9-1 lead horse in the race for the first major of the new season.
