Who is going to win the Masters this year?!
When was the last time we came into a Masters without a standout dominant player? With LIV Golf and the PGA Tour separate and playing arguably totally different games on totally different courses, how can you judge who is at the top of their game? Here’s my thoughts on the top players in the world, and maybe a couple you haven’t thought of! At the end of this, I’m going to give you my picks for the week! We talkin gambling!!
Rory McIlroy (To Win: +675, Top 10: -138)
Rory is betting with the heart for most of us! I want him to slip on that green jacket on Sunday so badly! I think if he wins he could go on an absolute RIP for the rest of the year! Rory has demons at Augusta however. He’s never been able to play to his potential there. Is it his wedge game? Is it his putting? Or is it that he just doesn’t hit it close enough to score well on the Augusta greens? Whatever it is, I think he’s been playing the best heading into The Masters so I’d expect to see his name at the top. CMON RORS!!!!
Bryson Dechambeau (To Win: +2000, Top 10: -162)
Bryson….. Love him or hate him, I think a lot of people have changed their tune with Bryson over the last few years! At one point he called Augusta a Par 67, to which the golf gods laughed and he missed the cut that year. Don’t tempt the golf gods buddy! I think he’s made a turn and matured as a player. He absolutely BOMBS it and smashes the ball. Augusta is a relatively short course which means he will have a lot of short clubs into greens. I think this is a guy who’s starting to understand Augusta. He’s got a US Open, maybe he gets a green jacket.
Brooks Koepka (To Win: +3500, Top 10: -138)
You can’t ever count out Brooks in a Major, the guys a stone cold killer! Absolute athlete mentality. BUUUUUUUUT I’m not putting any money on him this week. I think he makes the cut, but doesn’t do much beyond that. Sorry Brooksy Baby.
Colin Morikawa (To Win: +1500, Top 10: +130)
Maybe flying under the radar a little, he’s having himself a nice little year so far. He hits irons amazingly accurate. He’s clutch with a driver. Not the longest guy on tour but he doesn’t miss very often. I think if he has a hot putting week he could find himself in a battle at the top!
Scottie Scheffler (To Win: +460, Top 10: -200)
World #1! What have you done for me lately though Scotty?! Nuthin! His late in the game charge last week on tour was fun, but does that mean he’s ready to dominate Augusta? Maybe good vibes as a past champion elevate his game? I don’t think Scotty does it this week, but I could be wrong!
Joaquin Niemann (To Win: +2700, Top 10: -210)
If you listen to Phil Mickelson, this is the #1 player in the world! I’m sure he’s great in a limited field and over 3 days but I don’t see old Jaco contending at a venue like this. Who knows though! I haven’t seen the guy hit a shot since he went to LIV.
Jon Rahm (To Win: +1700, Top 10: +150)
Not much to say here. Past champion… pissed that he’s on LIV and not playing against the best in the world. You made your choice bud. I don’t think Rhambo does much this week. What’s the line on a missed cut? I might take that bet.
Ludvig Aberg (To Win: +1700, Top 10: +150)
Remember Ludvig at the top last year IN HIS FIRST EVER MASTERS?! This guys got game! He’s doing alright this season so far but if good vibes make a player do well, I think Ludvig has chance! He hits it hard and strikes it solid. If he hadn’t dunked one on 11 last year I think he may have won! This is a “Horses for Courses” bet here! I like it!
So what are you taking out of that? “Who knows! Anyone could win?” That’s where my heads at a little too! We’ve gotta make a bet though because golf without gambling is just a great nap isn’t it! So here’s what I’m betting!
Rory to Win
Fleetwood & Bryson to top 10
Rham to miss cut
Spieth to miss the cut
Akshay Bhatia, Xander, Corey Conners, Shane Lowry, Lucas Glover, Bryson, Hideki to Top 20. (I love a good parlay)
What do you think?! Who are you betting on this week?
