Lay the juice: Dustin Johnson (+950)
Need we remind you, he’s the defending champion and the best player in the world.
And he arrives this week as the betting favorite.
So while we’re aware it won’t make you rich, the prospect of laying even a little something down on DJ and getting a near 10-to-1 return for your trouble is hardly a terrible proposition.
Sprinkles: Xander Schauffele (+2500), Patrick Reed (+3500)
Somehow, we’ve managed to get this far along without mentioning Schauffele, the world’s sixth-ranked player, and Reed, its No. 7 competitor. But it’s not because they don’t deserve consideration.
Schauffele was tied for second behind the resurgent Tiger Woods in 2019, while Reed was a winner just three years ago and was back for a tie for 10th last fall.
Getting either of them at their respective prices is a worthwhile day’s work.
Dart throws: Sergio Garcia (+6000), Louis Oosthuizen (+7500)
The teenage phenom-turned-2017 champ Garcia is 41 years old and perhaps on the downside. Meanwhile, Oosthuizen, who lost a playoff to Bubba Watson back in 2012, is amid a collection of forgotten players in a field of suddenly younger, stronger contemporaries.
Still, Garcia has top-10s in three of his last six tournaments—including two in a row in March—and Oosthuizen has made seven straight cuts at Augusta and was tied for 10th after 18 holes in 2020.
The Spaniard and the South African are long shots, to be sure, but if you’re holding a ticket with them in the running on Sunday afternoon, remember where you heard it.
Squad ride pick: Rory McIlroy (+1700)
There are several players whom linemakers consider better options. And there are several others who’ll get you a better payout if they’re indeed sliding into a new suit coat come Sunday.
But no one, in our view, gives a more superior return on investment than McIlroy.
Still just 31 though he’s been in the world’s top 40 since 2008, the four-time major champ blends a dynamic skill set with a comfort level on the leaderboard that overshadows nearly the entire field. He’s been a top-10 finisher in six of his last seven appearances at Augusta and, as mentioned earlier, was one shot better than the champion over the final 54 holes the last time around.
Considering all that, getting him at +1700 seems almost criminal.
But you really ought to take it anyway.
