2018 The Masters Favorites:

Jordan Speith +900

Jordan Speith is currently sitting as the favorite to win the Masters, but with some late betting action that could change before the first team tees off on Thursday morning.

For Speith it’s really not a surprise to see him as the favorite as he is one of the best in the world, but it’s going to come down to one thing for him.

The big question is how will he play Sunday if he is in contention. At times he has struggled under the pressure and that can’t be the case if he wants come out ahead.

Justin Thomas +1100

Justin Thomas is coming into this tournament with the third best odds but in terms of his play he is the hottest in the world right now.

In his last three tournaments, he has a 4th, 2nd and a 1st place finish. He has all the confidence in the world coming into this tournament.

For Thomas there is only one issue, he only has made two starts at Augusta. I don’t see that really mattering though, I think he will have a huge weekend.

2018 The Masters Contenders:

Dustin Johnson +1100

For Dustin Johnson the strongest part of his game is off the tee and the Masters really isn’t a place you need to be great off the tee.

I think he will struggle here, and he is a guy I would stay far away from.

Tigers Woods +1400

Is it a true preview without mentioning Tiger Woods? For Woods he is the most experienced off the tee and although he struggles off the tee Augusta isn’t a place you need to be great off the tee.

He is going to have a huge crowd following him all weekend and that seems to be when he performs his best.

If his body holds up and he can avoid the double bogeys he has as good of shot as anyone to win this game. With his price going down too the money is good.

2018 The Masters Sleeper (+5000 or higher):

Kevin Chappell +10000

Kevin Chappell has played only one time at Augusta but had a strong showing finishing for a tied seventh. He did withdraw from his last event with a back injury though.

If his back holds up though he has a good chance to win.

2018 The Masters Picks:

The guy I do really like is – Tiger Woods to have a nice tournament and end up on top on Sunday Afternoon.

He finally gets over that hump and wins a tournament. His golf game is getting refined again and this is a perfect course for a victory.
