Koepka a great bet at these odds . He is healthy .

I bought some +8550 before he won the LIV event .
Now he’s down to +4200 . I still think that’s a great bet
I'm kicking myself not grabbing similar odds on Koepka when in Vegas last month. I do have a 50/1 ticket in hand

some bets to consider

Masters Bets to Target​

Jon Rahm (Golf Betting Odds at FanDuel Sportsbook: +950) - Rahm is the lone name among the top three (i.e. Rahm, Scottie Scheffler, and Rory McIlroy) showing some outright win value, according to my win simulations for the Masters, so I have to take note. Rahm is only a few months removed from feeling absolutely unfadeable, and we shouldn't forget that. He has finished T27, 4th, T9, T7, T5, and T27 at Augusta in his career, and his irons can still get as hot as anyone's: he was fourth in approach strokes gained per round at THE PLAYERS before withdrawing.

Patrick Cantlay (+1900) - Cantlay has the complete game required to solve Augusta National even though his results here are just middling: T47, cut, T9, T17, cut, T39. Across the past two years (for which datagolf has ShotLink data), Cantlay has putted poorly on these greens. He's getting more and more reps at the course, and the form entering includes three top-10s in his past four starts.


Tony Finau (+2400) - Finau was the first bet I made this week. My model thinks he should be +1900. Although he has five straight events outside the top 10, he has 10 straight top-25 finishes, thanks to incredible iron play. The putter has trended up over the long term for Finau, too. As long as he can figure out how to chip well enough, he's a real threat to break through. Finau has finished T10, T5, T38, T10, and T35 at Augusta in his career.

Xander Schauffele (+2500) - Xander missed the cut a year ago here but has a T50, T2, T17, and T3 otherwise. Schauffele is dialed right now with the irons and putter, which always helps when heading a major setup. A lack of high-end stroke play finishes since mid-February (T33, T39, T19) have his odds longer than they should be.

Viktor Hovland (+3700) - Hovland is always a threat to lead any field in strokes gained: tee to green, primarily because he's just that good of a ball-striker. He was fifth in approach at THE PLAYERS and is 17th over the past 50 rounds, according to datagolf. He was T32 in his 2019 Augusta debut to finish as the low amateur, and he has been T21 and T27 with good putting results since then. His pure upside absolutely includes a green jacket.

Masters Top-10s and Top-20s to Target​

Keegan Bradley (Top 10: +900 | Top 20: +310) - Keegan's got the irons to finish well at Augusta, and he's also a balanced driver. In total, he ranks 24th in the field in strokes gained from ball-striking over the past 50 rounds, according to datagolf. Though Bradley's best finish at Augusta is T22 in 2015, we're getting a new, rejuvenated version of Bradley, whose putting is a plus again.

Joaquin Niemann (Top 10: +650 | Top 20: +210) - Though it's hard to quantify things for the LIV Tour golfers, Niemann played really well in the 2022 tournaments and was top-10 at both Asian Tour events in February. Some LIV golfers are still valued as if they're just a tick behind their PGA Tour form, and some we can assume are unlikely to contend. Niemann is in the sweet spot where he is undervalued for what the current form likely is.

Mito Pereira (Top 10: +650 | Top 20: +250) - Another LIV golfer who fits that mold is Mito Pereira. Mito has five top-16s and three top-10s in five events in 2023, including consecutive 6th-place finishes at the past two LIV events since late March. Again, we have to do a lot of assuming with their data, yet these are good value numbers for Pereira and Niemann, specifically.

Masters Group Bets and Prop Bets to Target​

Scottie Scheffler Top Former Winner (+155) - The list of former winners in the field is 13, and none of them are in the same tier as Scheffler right now. Jordan Spieth is dangerous at Augusta, and if Dustin Johnson is in form, he's a threat, too. But Hideki Matsuyama, Tiger Woods, Patrick Reed, and Adam Scott have either legitimate questions about health and/or form. And those at longer odds have those questions in spades.

As for Scheffler, he's the outright betting favorite for the entire event, and we're sort of getting him at +155 over what we can view as more of a five-man group with extra names at the bottom. Value is value, and my model sees it here.

Rory McIlroy Top Great Britain/Ireland Player (+120) - This is a very fair number for McIlroy, who is grouped up with some overvalued options.

The biggest fear I have is with Justin Rose (+650). But Matt Fitzpatrick seems to be dealing with an injury still, Tyrrell Hatton is a great fit but doesn't like the course, and after that, we have some names unlikely to contend here with Rory.

My model thinks Rory should be +105 here.

Viktor Hovland to win Group E (+200) - Group E comprises Hovland, Sam Burns, Hideki Matsuyama, and Brooks Koepka. I like Hovland well enough on his own despite his iffy chipping, yet there are also reasons we can be lower on his groupmates here, too.

Burns won the WGC-Match Play and was solo sixth at the Valspar Championship. But his tee-to-green game is largely neutral, and he's doing a ton of damage with the putter.

Matsuyama's irons are still good, but his overall tee-to-green game is not quite what it has been at his peak, and the putter isn't making up for it. Combined with enough health concerns, we can bump down Matsuyama.

Koepka is a wild card here. He won the most recent LIV Golf event in Orlando this past week, and we know what he is capable of in majors -- or what he used to be capable of, at least.

But as for Hovland, he's the best golfer of the quartet over the past 50 rounds and the past year, according to datagolf, and my model thinks he should be around +185.

Kurt Kitayama. The top 50 and ties make the cut. He is 46th in strokes gained and 49th in strokes gained approach. Long shot to make the cut I think he is good odds. Like your Na one too. He is a grinder

First Round Leader

Looking Back to 2010...

The PM later groups Crush. To be more exact the 12:30-1:30 range is money

Speith has beed Round 1 leader 3 times and twice as super late tee time
Rose has punched Round 1 leader 4 times

The weather Thursday looks best for late tee times. Warmer and less wind.

Greens should be fairly soft compared to typical years for day 1.

The last 5 to 6 groups seems to be the sweet spot for leaders from what I saw going back to 2010. If a believer the conditions will be best later in the day and into early evening as it appears then some good value is out there

Odds vary soo much but few possible flyers

+2200-2500 Spieth last group off 2pm. RD 1 leader 3 times already since 2015

+3500 Rose 1:12 tee time 5th to last group off. RD 1 leader 4 times before

+2800-3500 "OBD" Johnson 1:12 tee time been RD 1 leader before last was 2020 in what may set up similar conditions.

+5500 Tom Kim 1:48 2nd to last group off. Debut but soft course should help for a guy who can fire some super low rounds

+3500 J Day 12:48 tee time and 7th to last group off.

Just a few possible looks. Plenty of other bigger odds guys who may be in good position for RD1 leader who go off in last 7 groups

Finau
Will Z
Hatton
Niemann
Morikawa

Tom Hoge is a pretty aggressive pin hunter who can go low starts of 12:00 pm group. Straka and Woodland same boat as possible odd ball type names to shock after day 1 leader and finish T48TH. Kind of fit the Green gloves Charley Hoffman mold imo.


Considering the long odds and the possible way better late draw which favors past leaders going back to 2010. Target a few golfers in maybe the last few groups. For just a few bucks you could toss darts considering some of the odds. Grabbing a half dozen golfers or so

Check out the par 3 contest today if you cant wait to see some action

Before the Masters begins in all its high-stakes pretense, Augusta National Golf Club will host the Par 3 Contest on Wednesday, April 5. A light-hearted family event that precedes the tournament, the Par 3 contest invites former champions, both participating and non-participating, as well as golfers from the current year’s field to play nine holes at the Par 3 course also on the grounds of Augusta National Golf Club.
And while it’s long been considered as one of the most beautiful courses in the world, the Par 3 has undergone significant changes since last year’s contest. Big changes to the first five holes will be tested for the first time.
The golfers often invite parents, wives, girlfriends, and children to be their caddies for the event, even occasionally inviting their caddies and guests to hit a shot or two in the tournament. And the image of little ones toddling around in their all-white caddie uniforms is absolutely adorable, while sometimes one of the kids even sticks it in the hole.

The current reigning champs of the contest are Mike Weir and Mackenzie Hughes. No Par 3 Contest winner has ever gone on to win the Masters in the same year, so a win is considered to be something of a curse. The 2023 Par 3 contest will be available to watch on ESPN at 3:00 p.m. ET on Wednesday.

Looking to bet after Day 1 and guys going off early Friday. And peppering the board bunch of PM tee times last 7 groups.

Weather throws a wrench in pre bet imo. I’d probably hold out to after round 1. Past 20 years only Tiger has been outside top 10 after day 1. And won Masters. May catch shorter odds but after rd 1 may be the board to target Plus better scoop on weather and LIV guys

Imo the PM/AM guys having advantage. If the weather is raining and storms maybe delays, then day two guys should be able to finish and get soft conditions. Possibly day two pm guys don’t finish who knows. Having to try and finish early Saturday when worst weather looks to pop. Maybe more delays

1st Time Major Winner angle along with other trends show. Previous winner this year. OWGR top 15. Two biggest trends.

Homa
Finau
Hovland Best fit
Burns

Others exclude first time major trend
Rahm
Rory

Brooks and OBD liv guys check a bunch

1st major winner minus few trends keying in on OWGR inside top 15.

Young
Finau
Burns
Hovland
Zalatoris
Homa
Xander
Cantlay (pass! Cold and East coast. If delays may be lost. Guy has a 3 hr warm up before each round)

Hard gauge the liv guys and stats and finishes so obviously a twist.

Few of big trends past 15 masters
Top 20 OWGR
Top 6-12 OWGR Sweet spot
First time major
Winner this year
T10 in two of last 3 starts.
Good Florida swing two top 15
Top 35 masters last year
Top 50 Driving distance
Top 50 Gir
Played in 3+ masters
Played in 3-5th masters the sweet spot
Favorite never wins (Rory Scottie Rahm) all sorta fave really
Past winner rarely B2B

Best fits so far but nobody checking 90% of boxes
Finau
Hovland
Rory basically the Fave
Rahm close enough Fave


Considering the weather and Drama liv guys etc.

Imo after RD 1 is the spot to target so many variables.

Rumor n reports of guys battling injury or two

Will z
Louie ooooie
Nasty yams
Cam Smith
Hatton


The best wave first two days draw imo notable guys worthy

Spieth
Zalatoris
Finau
Rose
DJ
Brooks
Burns
Morikawa
Fleetwood
Day

He mentioned his game isn’t there like last year. Hasn’t practiced like he did. Been kinda going through life chilling really.

Probably his drop.

So I have about 20 snake drafts of various 3,6 and 12 man varieties......ended up pretty heavy on Cam Smith and Keith Mitchell and Shane Lowery

About 10 other regular draft lineups and this one I like the best top to bottom....more Lowery and Mitchell and I didnt even play Cam Smith 1 time out of 10.....he is the 4th highest priced golfer on regular draft but I was getting him usually no lower than 9th and often at 10-15th on snake drafts.

Hope he isnt to fkd up.

Like the card! Id want another Euro guy in there maybe. Good mudder maybe a Fleet, Rose, Willet, Hatton, Hovalnd

dfs wise been going heavy

Spieth
DJ
WIll Z/Finau

mixing in next two with
Hatton
Rose
Fleetwood
Kim
Niemmann

finishing up with
willet or Brooks

Tyically I like to paint the board as I say. Aussie, two Euro and three americans. Or maybe asian S african guy in there. Looking back at majors the top 10 and top 5 is pretty spread out. Always like a good Aussie at the masters but Cam draws the AM/PM wave and not sold on Day price plus looking at 20%+ ownership. Pricing makes it hard to work em in for my builds.

Big Gpp need em all inside top 12 for good shot at decent money. Unless you get 1-3 finishers another top 7 guy and 2 guys who may finish T20 but bang in scoring points not finishing points.

Risky but fading the big 3 if they shit the bed can be huge. Been staying pretty tight with going only PM/AM groups.
