Hello, friends. Welcome to Masters week.
The biggest week in recent golf history is upon us as the season’s first major is just days away at Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia. This year’s Masters tournament carries even more significance than usual. Not only does it come amid the PGA Tour’s first full season of elevated events, but it also marks the first time Tour and LIV Golf players will compete together at Augusta.
On top of that, there are storylines for days. Scottie Scheffler comes in playing fantastic golf and is looking to defend his 2022 crown. Rory McIlroy also is in fine form, and he’s trying to complete the career grand slam by finally breaking through and earning himself a green jacket. And don’t forget about Jon Rahm, who has cooled off some since a blistering start to the season but would surprise no one if he went wire to wire for his own first Masters victory.
And then there’s Tiger Woods. The five-time Masters winner looked solid at the Genesis Invitational earlier this year, and if he’s physically capable of enduring the four-day grind, he’s always liable to contend.
As always, the Masters is a massive week for golf bettors. Here’s the first look at odds from FanDuel Sportsbook to win the green jacket as the week begins.
