PGA Tour golf betting gets underway with the Farmers Insurance Open. A familiar face is atop the odds, as Tiger Woods is expected to start 2011 with a bang.

Woods, an 11/4 favorite this week, will be making his first appearance of 2011. Last year’s uneven performance has been well documented, but there are plenty of signs for hope. First, most of his divorce fallout is behind him, allowing Woods to concentrate on golf. Woods also closed out the year very strongly — he finished second at the Chevron World Challenge in December, losing a playoff to Graeme McDowell. That followed up a sixth-place effort at the HSBC Champions in November. Those marked the first Top-10 finishes for Woods since finishing fourth at the U.S. Open in June.

Predictably, Phil Mickelson is next in line with 14/1 odds to win the Farmers Insurance Open. Mickelson won’t be carrying any momentum into this season. He won The Masters last year but reached the Top-10 just once in his last eight tournaments, never finishing higher than eighth. “Lefty” placed 41st at the HSBC Champions and is undoubtedly looking for a fresh start.

Dustin Johnson rounds out the top three contenders with 16/1 Farmers Insurance Open odds. Johnson has already hit the links once this season, finishing ninth at the Hyundai Tournament of Champions. After a strong 2010 campaign, Johnson is poised to make some noise in 2011.

With 20/1 golf odds, Nick Watney is expected to be in the hunt this weekend. Watney failed to win a tournament last season, but he collected eight Top-10 finishes, including seventh-place efforts at The Masters and the British Open. Watney also cracked the Top-10 in two of his last four tourneys
