Ways To Bet On The Masters

Prop Betting On The Masters. Prop bets are a great way to bet on the Masters, and there are always a lot of them going on throughout the tournament. Below you can find some of the Masters lines for some of the most interesting prop bets. Placing an each way bet is placing a stake on a player to win the tournament with an equal stake on that same player to finish the tournament 'placed'. What constitutes a 'place finish' depends on your.

Players and fans alike waited seven months from its traditional April dates due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, but now the 2020 Masters is finally here.

Hopefully, the wait pays off.

But while fans wait for the first round to begin Thursday, there are many bets that can be made so the Masters can pay off in another, more fiscal way.

BetMGM’s Vice President of Trading Jason Scott, from Brisbane, Australia, spoke with Golfweek about the biggest questions when it comes to betting on the Masters, the most interesting storylines to capitalize on and what, if anything, has COVID-19 done to betting odds.

Below are a few of the best storylines entering the 2020 Masters and how they could relate to your bank account.

Tiger repeats

He successfully defended his title at Augusta National before, but can he do it again?

It was more than 18 years ago Tiger Woods defended his 2001 Masters title at the 2002 tournament. After winning his 15th major championship and fifth green jacket last April, Woods returns to Augusta National after holding the title of reigning champion for 19 months.

Woods, the most popular golfer to bet on in any tournament he plays, kept that reputation for the November Masters. But at the Masters, Woods has 40-1 outright odds for defending his 2019 title.

Those odds haven’t changed how many people are betting on the Big Cat this week.

“We’ve written more tickets on Tiger than any other three players combined,” Scott said when he spoke Tuesday with Golfweek.

Betting on Woods as the outright winner isn’t the best bet, so if fans want to put money down on Woods, there are other, safer bets. Scott said a few suggestions for betting on Woods other than outright are Woods finishing in the top 10 or, more realistically, making the cut or not.

Best bet for first-time winner

Some of the best Masters Tournaments have ended with a player grinning from ear to ear as they put on a green jacket for the first time. A few of the favorites in this week’s field are winless at Augusta National.

Between Brooks Koepka, Dustin Johnson and Bryson DeChambeau, Scott picked his favorite for first-time winner.

Koepka is fresh off his knee and hip-related injuries, so his outright odds are 16-1. DeChambeau, who has historically not played well at Augusta National with a best finish in 2016 (21st), has odds of 15-2. Dustin Johnson, who won the Tour Championship and finished T-2 at last week’s Vivint Houston Open, is Scott’s favorite to win with 9-1 odds.

Out of these three favorites, Scott picked DJ. Johnson played at Memorial Park last week after finishing isolation due to testing positive for COVID-19 on Oct. 13.

“He’s had good form. He played last week with his chin up. I thought he hit the ball well last week. His putting was just a bit off. … I was probably nervous about (his positive COVID test) last week and thought he was a good risk last week but … I think he’ll be fine this week.”

Why Koepka, Bryson and DJ headline the potential time winners, there are a few sleepers Scott pointed out.

“I think Hideki Matsuyama has been good the past few weeks. I think 25-1, he has some interest to me,” Scott said. “The other obvious one is (Jon) Rahm who’s been playing well for a long time. … He finished top-10 last year at Augusta and the year before he was competitive as well so his form around the course is good.

“What’s interesting is Bryson’s isn’t. Bryson’s played four times, sixteen tournaments and only broken 70 once. I think he’s odds probably should be a little bigger.”

In addition to his 21st place finish in 2016, DeChambeau has finished the Masters 28th and 29th respectively over the past two tournaments. One thing that’s changed since DeChambeau last visited Augusta National is his major, 30-pound muscle gain and his first major title at the U.S. Open at Winged Foot.

This time may be different.

“It’s always been putting and chipping around Augusta. But yeah, the extra yards are certainly going to help,” Scott said. “He was a different player last year. But if you look at the courses he’s preformed well this year, he had (performed) well there previously.”

Young guys and Augusta National

One of the (few) highlights of 2020 has been watching the young stars play and compete with the world’s top ranked players. Which one should bettors keep their eyes — and potentially bets — on?

“I’d be on (Matthew) Wolff,” Scott said. “It always favors the long-hitters and he proved it at the U.S. Open he can compete when he ran second to Bryson.”

The most impressive young stars in the field are Matthew Wolff, who won his first Tour title at the 2019 3M Open and finished second at the U.S. Open at Winged Foot; Viktor Hovland who won the Puerto Rico Open last season and has three top-25 finishes in the first four events of the season; and Collin Morikawa won his first major at the PGA Championship, his second Tour title of the year and third overall.

Has COVID affected betting odds at the Masters?

What has COVID affected at the 2020 Masters? Try everything.

No fans on site, no in-person Masters shop, no Par 3 contest. The list goes on and on. But has it affected betting odds? Scott says not really.

“I think really minutely (odds have been impacted,)” Scott said. “The players at the disadvantage are Tiger and Phil (Mickelson) and Rory (McIlroy) and DeChambeau, the ones that have huge, big galleries that bounce off them and keep the ball from going in the rubbish. So that’s always been a big advantage for those guys.

“I’ve spoken to caddies and I know for a fact sometimes they’ll overclub because they know if they go too far, it’ll hit the crowd.”

Despite some of the disadvantages to now having a crowd and the irregular golf atmosphere, Scott said not to read too much into it since players are largely used to it since golf’s restart in June.

If you want to bet on the Masters 2021, you have come to the right place. The 2021 Tournament is scheduled for April 5th to 11th, 2021 at Augusta National Club in Augusta, Georgia.

Bet on the Masters

Betting on the Masters is extremely popular as this tournament is one of the most popular golf events worldwide. It is the first golf major in a calendar year, and all those who enjoy betting on golf are excited in anticipation of this big event.

The Masters 2021: Tournament schedule

Even though we are months ahead of the 2021 tournament, you can already find the Masters schedule for this event. Take a look below as this info will surely help you if you want to bet on the Masters 2021.

Pre-tournament: 5 – 7th April 2021

Although the main event is scheduled not until April 8th, 2021, the pre-tournament events start earlier. They begin on Monday, April 5th when the Masters’ schedule begins.

The first three days of the week are reserved for Practice Rounds when cameras are allowed on the golf course. On Monday and Tuesday, the gates open at 8 in the morning for the Practice Round to take place. The same goes for Wednesday, except for the fact that Par-3 Contest also takes place then on the Par 3 Course.

Ways To Bet On The Masters Degree

This contest attracts lots of attention both when it comes to its attractiveness and when betting on the Masters is concerned. The contestants head to the par-27 course and compete in a single round on a nine-hole. Maybe the most exciting thing about the Par-3 contest is that the contestants usually bring their family members as caddies and even let them play shots.

Rounds 1 & 2: Thursday, April 8th, and Friday, April, 9th, 2021

Thursday, April 8th, brings the beginning of competitive rounds and from this day on no cameras are allowed on the golf course. Each of the four rounds that are going to take place during the next four days consists of 18 holes. The contestants play in groups of three or four Rounds 1 and 2 (the first 36 holes).

After that cuts are made based on their results. If you are interested in watching this tournament and place a bet Masters, you can do it during these first few days. The betting markets will be the largest since there will be no cuts yet.

Round 3 & 4: Saturday, April 10th, and Sunday, April, 11th, 2021

After the first two rounds, a score is calculated to determine which players will make it to the weekend rounds. They either need to be among the top fifty (including ties) or have a maximum of ten strokes of the score that the current leader has.

The most exciting day is the last one, on Sunday, as the winner is determined then. If there is a tie, or many contestants have identical scores, they enter a sudden-death playoff. The first stroke is on the 18th hole, and then on the 10th, which is next to it. This goes on until there is one remaining player.

Bet on the Masters 2021 types

Everyone who wants to bet on the Masters needs to know a thing or two about the type of bets you can place on golf. There are many different types of bets available. We have decided to include the most popular ones and go into more detail about them below.

Outright bet

One of the most popular bet types in golf (or any other sport for that matter) is betting on the winner. If you think that you know who is going to win this tournament, you can place a bet on this golfer even now in the ante-post betting markets. These bets are available the minute a betting market for a golf tournament opens. They typically remain available for the duration of the event.

First-round winner

When looking at options for betting on the Masters, you can take this bet into consideration. Given that golf tournaments have several rounds (as does the Masters) you can place a bet on the golf player you believe is going to come at the top after the first round. This means after the first tournament day or April 8th in this case.

Double bets

If you believe that you know who is going to be placed first and second after this tournament ends, you can place a double bet. You need to select two golf players and predict their finishing order correctly.

Double chance

When you have two potential favourites to win the Masters but are unsure which one of them will come on top, try placing a double bet. If one of them wins, you can receive some solid returns. On the other hand, if neither of them manages to do this, your bet will be lost.

Play Master Bet

Three-ball bet

Players begin this tournament in groups of three (and sometimes four). This is why this bet can come in very handy. It allows you to bet on the winner of one of these groups.

2019 the Masters’ results

Ways To Bet On Horses

The Masters Tournament brought lots of excitement in 2019. It started on April 11th and ended on April 14th, 2019. The winner was Tiger Woods who managed to record his fifth victory on this tournament and is now only one Masters title shy of the current record holder Jack Nicklaus (6).

However, Woods is likely to appear in the 2020 Masters, so he will have a shot at tying this record. If he manages to win he will also repeat his record from last year – the second oldest Masters champion (after Nicklaus once again who is still the record holder after winning at 46 in 1986).

If you are interested in day-by-day results, keep on reading to learn more. Each day brought lots of excitement, with Woods coming at the top of the very last day.

First-round results

A total of 87 players qualified to appear at the Augusta National Golf Club on April 11th, 2019. There were 42 players from North America, 25 from Europe, 7 from Asia, 6 from South Africa, five from Oceania, and two from South America.

The golfers started competing under favourable weather conditions. It was partly cloudy, with the 10-15 mph SE wind and pleasant 29 °C. As many as three American players finished the first day in top three positions. Bryson Dechambeau and Brooks Koepka tied for the first spot with 66 and -6. Phil Mickelson was third with just one point more – 67 and -5. Woods was in the eleventh place with nine other contestants at 70 and -2.

Second Round results

The weather was not in the contestants’ favour on the second day. Scattered showers caused the suspension of the play in the afternoon for almost half an hour. However, the golfers managed to complete all their holes. At the end of the day, as many as five players tied in the first position.

Jason Day, Brooks Koepka, Francesco Molinari, Louis Oosthuizen (best round of the day), and Adam Scott finished with 137 points and -7. Woods had a solid score of 68 and -4 putting him in a good position for the weekend rounds.

Third Round results

The weather on Saturday was the same as two days before, cloudy with a light wind blowing from the South-East. After the first two qualifying rounds, 65 contestants made the cut and appeared on the course on Saturday. This was the new record with the highest number of players in the third round since the introduction of this cut in 1957.

Francesco Molinari ended the third round at the top of the leaderboard with 208 points and -13. Two Americans were tied in the second position with 205 and -11, Tiger Woods (with four birdies in this round) and Tony Finau.

Fourth round results

All eyes were on the first five contestants in anticipation of the big finish. Both Woods and Molinari managed to birdie their 13th move and came at the top together. However, Molinari hit the branch in an attempt to strike at the ball from an uneasy angle.

It landed in the pond on the 15th. Woods took the lead at this moment by hitting a birdie. All he needed to win the tournament was to bogey the 18th, which he did. Having waited for 11 years for this moment, Woods managed to make one of the greatest comebacks in sports history.

He has automatically qualified for the 2020 Masters (together with 11 other top finishers). We’re eager to see whether he will manage to win this tournament back-to-back and tie the six-title score with Nicklaus.

Here’s a table with the top ten finishers that you can consider if you want to bet on the Masters. They will all be coming back to Augusta in 2020.

US Masters tournament history

Masters history is certainly rich and eventful. The first Masters took place in 1934, with Horton Smith becoming the first champion and receiving the prize of $1,500 (for the sake of comparison, Tiger Woods received a check on $2,070,000 in 2019). The first nine holes at the time were today’s 10 through 18, and today’s first nine were the second back then. However, in 1935 their order was reversed to the one that we know today.

As the course was once a plant nursery, the names that were given to the eighteen holes are those of trees and shrubs that are native to the area. The first one is Tea Olive and the eighteenth Holly.

This tournament has the smallest field among the majors, with approximately 85 to 100 contestants. To participate in it, golfers need to receive an invitation and there is no other way they can enter. Those who are in the top fifty on the Official World Golf Ranking list need not worry.

They automatically qualify, and so do those that make it to the top 12 of last year’s tournament. This info is very handy if you are interested in the Masters betting on the ante-post markets.

The most notable winners in the history of the Masters include Jack Nicklaus (six wins), Tiger Woods (five), Arnold Palmer (four), and Nick Faldo, Gary Player, Jimmy Demaret, Phil Mickelson, and Sam Snead (three). The winner of the Masters Tournament receives the gold medal, a cash prize and the honorary green jacket.
