Tiger Woods is expected to go off as a heavy favorite to win the 2008 U.S. Open, which begins Thursday at Torrey Pines in San Diego.

Woods, playing for the first time in two months after undergoing knee surgery, is listed as a 2-1 favorite to win the tournament, according to odds at the Las Vegas Hilton sports book.

Woods is also a minus-240 favorite (risk $2.40 to win $1) against Phil Mickelson in a head-to-head matchup at the Hilton.

Woods, trying for his 14th major championship, is also featured in several betting propositions, including an over/under on his finish, which has been set at 3.5. (If he finishes first, second or third, the "under" wins.)
