Bet on Tiger Woods at The Masters
You can bet on Tiger Woods to win The 2020 Masters, and why wouldn’t you?
Woods is a five-time Masters winner and the defending champion. He is within three major titles of Jack Nicklaus’ record 18 and always ups his game at Augusta in pursuit of that.
Plus, Woods is, at last check, available at odds of up to +4500 to win ahead of the tournament. Some TN sportsbooks may even run various Tiger Woods betting specials and odds boosts to entice you to bet on him.
At the very least, you may find a few Tiger Woods prop bets attractive, including bets on Woods to finish in the top five, to make an Eagle in any round, or earn a spot in the last group in the final round.
Remember, though, Woods is 44 and one of the older golfers on tour. He’s well past his prime and a decade or older than the top golfers today. He’s also coming off a 72nd-place finish at the ZOZO Championship at the end of October 2020.
US Masters 2020 favorites
Outside of Tiger Woods, here’s a look at other favorites to contend in The 2020 Masters:
Bryson DeChambeau
Everybody is talking about Bryson DeChambeau and how he beefed up and is now dominating the PGA Tour. He won his first major at the 2020 US Open and is now the longest driver on tour after gaining 40 pounds. That said, at The Masters, driving is for the show, and putting is for the dough, so DeChambeau will need to show up on the greens to preserve his status as the favorite to put on the green jacket.
Dustin Johnson
Dustin Johnson has already been voted 2020 PGA Tour Player of the Year and is No. 1 in the Official World Golf Ranking. He finished second at the 2020 PGA Championship but won the Tour Championship and the FedEx Cup. He also finished tied for second in the 2019 Masters and is a good bet to compete again this year.
Xander Schauffele
Xander Schauffele has never won a major, but he did finish tied for second in The 2019 Masters.
Brooks Koepka
Brooks Koepka has won four majors over the past four years, including the 2018 and 2019 PGA Championship and 2017 and 2018 US Open. He’s also the third player that finished tied for second at The 2019 Masters.
Patrick Cantlay
Patrick Cantlay finished in the top 10 at the 2019 Masters. Plus, he’s coming off a win at the ZOZO Championship at the end of October 2020.
Tips for betting on the Masters tournament
Here are three Masters betting tips you might want to pay heed to this year:
- Do some research: Consume everything you can about the PGA Tour heading into The Masters. Look for who’s hot and who’s not. Find out whose game sets up well for Augusta. Good research is the key to making informed and educated golf bets.
- Take the odds: Nobody is an odds on favorite to win The Masters. That means you’ll get a good price on just about anyone. The odds are so good for most it pays to bet on more than one golfer to win.
- Bet futures early: The Masters futures market is filled with decent odds on even the consensus favorites. However, once the first couple of rounds are through, those odds will drop dramatically for the real contenders. That’s why it’s a good idea to get in the market early and take advantage of all the attractive pricing.
