MASTERS BETS (FINAL)
Hideki Matsuyama 25/1 — Only one player currently rivals Scheffler’s form entering Augusta, and that’s the former champ. Whatever issue he had with his driver in 2023 has been solved and, just like that, he found himself back in the winners circle for the first time in two years. He’ll always be an inconsistent putter, much like a lot of great players, but routinely gaining on the field off the tee, while mixing in upside spike weeks with that putter is a lethal combo with how good his irons have been and his all-world short game. He played C- golf a year ago and still managed to finish no worse than T32 in any Major. With a win and three straight Top 10s entering the year’s first Major.
Shane Lowry 50/1 — The Irishman’s tee-to-green game is among the world’s best, but the putter simply lets him down far too often. Yet, he’s one of three players with Top 25 finishes each of the past three years and he comes in averaging +5.4 SG: APP over his past three starts. He’s won a Major before, maybe he can just luck into a few putts over the weekend.
Sahith Theegala 60/1 — Top 10s in three of his past five, a lone missed cut on the season, and a silver medal at one of the biggest crossover over courses to kick off 2024 at Kapalua. Plus, he’s got the magic beans gene; the most unquantifiable skill for Augusta. You know it when you see it. Spieth has it. Cam Smith has it. Bubba has it. Scheffler has it. The more the shot, somehow, the better he becomes. We witnessed it in his debut a year ago when he finished Top 10. He’s a better player now.
Cam Young 66/1 — Yes. I got grifted into Scam Young. I got a 66/1 hung in front of me and I couldn’t resist. It was easier for Eve to pass on the apple. Young has seven second place finishes in two years, along with Top 10 finishes in four of his last seven Major starts. That resume looks like someone’s who’s going to win at some point. A lot. It’s not unheard of that The Master would be someone’s first win, but it’s not impossible either. The ball striking is among the elite, and he proved he can mage the short game a year, in his second Augusta appearance, finishing T7. If you need can more tips on how to light a $100 bill on fire, I’ll be here all week.
NOTE: I bet these guys all to win at Bet365 to take advantage of their Top 8 each ways. To use an example, Taylor Moore’s Top 8 as a part of the each way pays 60/1. To merely bet him Top 10 is 16/1. I get to invest less money for a much larger payout along with the lotto ticket of the win. Makes no sense to do the other way.
Chris Kirk 150/1 (8 Places)
His latest form would suggest a quick exit, but long term, he’s been a consistently excellent iron player and his win at Kapalua shouldn’t be over looked. Rahm, Reed, Spieth, Dustin, and Zach Johnson have all won there in the past 10 years. And they all have green jackets. I’ve come up with worse reasons to lose money on someone at the back of the field. Kirk returned to Augusta 12 months ago after seven years and finished T23. That puts him at 3 of four cuts made with a pair of Top 25s.
Thorbjorn Olesen 200/1 (8 Places)
One of the few players in the field who ha actually won a tournament in 2024 (Ras Al Khaimah Championship in January). Since coming to America he was having a tougher go than Prince Akeem, until last week. A T14 may not be all that great, it was encouraging to see the Dane spike his best approach and around the green week of the PGA season so far. It’s been a while since he’s played at Augusta, yet he remains 3/3 in cuts made with Top 20 finishes in two of those starts.
Taylor Moore 300/1 (8 Places)
Top 20 in the field in approach over the past 24 rounds in addition to a Top 10 ranking around the greens. Moore cut his teeth in his first Augusta appearance a year ago finishing a respectable T39 as a debutant. He hasn’t missed a cut since last year’s Open Championship and rides in with consecutive Top 12 finishes. Moore’s got plus distance and horrendous accuracy which should actually benefit him here with the extendo fairways and lack of tough as long as he misses on the proper part of the hole. The big thing with him, though; the touch around the greens. Moore’s ability to control his ball speed green side has turned him into an excellent scrambler while his lag putting has been some of the best on tour in 2024. The short putts, they still remain problematic.
Corey Conners Top 20 all 4 Majors 40/1 (Bet365) — Number seemed too big for someone as consistent T2G as Conners. Pinehurst has a bunch of crappy putters and short game guys at the top in 2014, he’s proven he can handle Augusta, and his game sets up perfectly for recent PGA Championship set ups. Does he have the feel to navigate an Open? Probably not. But at this number I’ll gamble he ends up in aa good wind wave and roll the dice.
13 Things About The 2024 Masters
1 time in the 2000's have we had consecutive Masters champs born outside of the USA (2008-09 with Trevor Immelman and Angel Cabrera). Spain's Jon Rahm won last season.
2 eagles for Hideki Matsuyama through the first two days of his 2021 win. In those two rounds, he was -7 on the Par 5's and +3 on the other 28 holes heading into the weekend.
3 of the past four champions had a Round 1 eagle on their scorecard.
4% (just under, 3.7% to be exact) of Jordan Spieth's career starts have come at The Masters, but 14.3% of his career events in which he gained 11+ strokes total on the field have come at Augusta
5 straight winners at this event have played holes 4-5 over par for the week
6 straight champions have been within four shots of the lead after Thursday (Rahm last season and DJ in the November edition held a share of the Day 1 lead)
7 straight champions have played holes 13-15 at -2 or better in multiple rounds.
Of the 8 easiest holes on this property, four come in succession on the back 9 (Holes 13-16)
9 of the Top 10 PGA TOUR finishers at the Masters last season avoided bogeys better than the field in at least 60% of their rounds for the calendar year as a whole (Cam Young was the exception.)
10th place. That is Rory McIlroy's average finish in the event prior to his past five wins.
11th in the OWGR, Matthew Fitzpatrick has seen his finish at the Masters improve in back-to-back-to-back seasons (46th in November, 34th in the standard 2021 edition, 14th in 2022 and 10th a season ago)
12 of the top 13 in Good Drives Gained at The Masters last season walked away with a top 20 paycheck (Zach Johnson was the lone exception)
13, the number of top 5 finishes Scottie Scheffler has produced since the 2023 Masters
