Tiger Woods won't break his five-year major championship drought at the 2013 British Open. 

To nobody's surprise, Woods has the best betting odds to win the Open Championship at Muirfield, but circumstances don't favor the current No. 1 player in the world. 

Woods isn't the only favorite who will disappoint, either. There are a couple of others who are more likely to miss the cut than they are to win the tournament. 

Here's a quick look at the current betting odds:

 

Rank Golfer Odds 1 Tiger Woods 13-2 2 Adam Scott 18-1 3 Justin Rose 18-1 4 Rory McIlroy 18-1 5 Lee Westwood 20-1 6 Luke Donald 20-1 7 Graeme McDowell 22-1 8 Ernie Els 25-1 9 Jason Day 25-1 10 Phil Mickelson 25-1 11 Sergio Garcia 25-1 12 Brandt Snedeker 33-1 13 Charl Schwartzel 33-1 14 Dustin Johnson 33-1 15 Louis Oosthuizen 33-1 16 Padraig Harrington 33-1 17 Ian Poulter 40-1 18 Matt Kuchar 40-1 19 Rickie Fowler 40-1 20 Seven Golfers  50-1 Note: Odds Courtesy of Bovada

 



While it's easy to understand why these men are being considered favorites, we know from past major championships that underdogs and long shots have just as good a chance to win. 

Furthermore, as sure as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, you can bet that at least a few of the top golfers will struggle badly and miss the cut altogether. 

With that in mind, here's a closer look at a few favorites who can't be trusted to contend for a British Open title.

 

Tiger Woods (13-2 Odds)

Woods has suffered through two terrible showings in his last two events, but there are a couple of more alarming reasons for doubting him at the 2013 British Open. 

Woods is recovering from the elbow injury he re-aggravated at the 2013 U.S. Open (it was originally hurt at the Players Championship).&...
