LAS VEGAS — A year ago, Tiger Woods authored an inspiring comeback story by winning the Masters and capturing his first major championship in more than a decade. In a perfect world, he would get the chance to repeat this week.

This is a much different world, of course. As summer approaches, no baseball, basketball or hockey games are on the horizon. All three golf majors staged in the U.S. are postponed and rescheduled, and the British Open has been canceled. But golf might be making a big comeback in the near future, if Tiger has his way.

According to reports, Woods has expressed interest in participating in another head-to-head duel with Phil Mickelson. It would be a made-for-TV fundraiser to help relief efforts related to the coronavirus pandemic. If it happens, there will be a betting line on it. Westgate SuperBook golf oddsmaker Jeff Sherman already has posted a line.

“The betting handle would be huge for something like that if it’s up against no other sports,” Sherman said. “On an island by itself, it would be enormous. You have already got people yearning for live sports to watch.”

People are wagering on Russian soccer, pingpong and video games, so it’s obvious there would be heavy action on a Tiger-Phil rematch. In November 2018, Mickelson banked $9 million in “The Match” at Shadow Creek in Las Vegas. The golf was far from spectacular. The sequel should top the original — unlike “Caddyshack II” — if it’s the only game going.

Tentative plans are for their second match to happen in Florida with a couple of superstar quarterbacks along for the round. Tom Brady would play with one golfer and Peyton Manning would side with the other. Sherman opened the Woods/Manning team as a -150 favorite over Mickelson/Brady, if those are the pairings for the 18-hole match.

“You would go nuts on propositions and give people plenty of betting opportunities,” Sherman said. “I would like to see it.”

The focal point is to just put some sort of event on TV. In these times of social distancing, golf is more plausible than most other sports because it’s played in open spaces.

The PGA Tour is scrambling to revise its schedule and salvage the three postponed majors. It was announced Monday the PGA Championship in San Francisco is moving to Aug. 6-9, followed by the U.S. Open at Winged Foot Sept. 17-20 and the Masters Nov. 12-15.

Any event involving Tiger would draw strong TV ratings, even if he’s not in peak form. Woods has not played competitively since mid-February, when he complained of back stiffness and finished a dismal 68th in the Genesis Invitational.

“He could be in decent form and in better shape with the Masters in November,” said Sherman, who recently adjusted Woods’ odds to win the Masters from 20/1 to 16/1.

After Woods won his 15th major last year, the Westgate posted a prop on his total major wins by his 50th birthday (Dec. 30, 2025). No more major wins is the -145 favorite. There are options to bet the Over on four numbers — 15.5 (+125), 16.5 (+250), 17.5 (+500), 18.5 (+1000). A 19th major would put Woods one above Jack Nicklaus’ record.

“There’s no reason Tiger can’t contend every year at the Masters,” said Brian Blessing, a Las Vegas radio host and golf handicapper. “You have a run for your money at a plus price for the next five years or so.”

A year after Tiger’s triumph at the Masters returned order to the golf world, everything about the sports world is out of order. The NFL draft will happen this month, and there might be occasional UFC events. Otherwise, only golf appears set to fill part of a gaping hole in a dry summer.

“I’m trying to be hopeful for sports coming back,” Sherman said. “There is too much uncertainty in every aspect. You couldn’t even imagine this in our lifetime. It’s unbelievable. This is something you would see in a movie.”
