McIlroy first, Woods last in Japan Skins betting odds

As Tiger Woods gets set to return to the spotlight, he'll do so in the unfamiliar position of longshot.

Woods headlines the four-man field in for The Challenge: Japan Skins, which will be played Monday afternoon in Japan and will be broadcast in the U.S. on Golf Channel beginning Sunday at 12 a.m. ET. Woods has not played competitively since the BMW Championship in September, and according to oddsmakers at the Westgate Las Vegas Superbook he's least likely to walk away with the most skins money.

The betting favorite for the 18-hole exhibition is world No. 2 and reigning FedExCup champ Rory McIlroy, who is listed at 2/1 odds.
