![]() There's a reason we're landing 55/1 odds on a five-time winner at The Masters and it's because of his inconsistent play between rounds. The aging talent looked good at times during his last appearance at Genesis, making the cut but failing to stay below par in the second and fourth rounds. We saw Woods win the whole event back in 2019 at -13-under-par, outperforming Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka, and Xander Schauffele by one stroke. I couldn't resist tapping into the Tiger Woods narrative when it comes to chasing Jack Nicklaus for his sixth Green Jacket. 22/1 odds is a solid value and I like Day more than the other +2200 outrights that includes Justin Thomas, Patrick Cantlay, and Tony Finau. He didn't compete at Augusta National in 2022 and missed the cut in 2021, so expect Day to transfer his current form into great production on the links to compete for the winning purse and elusive Green Jacket. Few mistakes have been made, but if Day can sustain four rounds of great iron play and strong putting, which we've seen in other recently loaded fields, there is a strong correlation to him becoming a first-time winner at Augusta. Day is a fantastic scrambler and ranks second in bogey avoidance. Day already has amassed six T10 finishes through 13 events this season, finishing T25 or higher in every event where he's made the cut. He's also seeking his first outright win since the Wells Fargo Championship in 2018. The 35-year-old has 12 career wins but has never won The Masters. Jason Day Outright Winner (+2200)Īnother PGA Tour veteran making a triumphant return in 2023 is Australia's Jason Day. His odds are much longer than Scheffler, McIlroy, and Rahm, which creates enough value to justify Spieth's outright win as a bold prediction, especially since he has logged recent finishes of T46 and MC. Spieth's creativity around the green and ability to sink long birdie putts remains a strong piece of his game and at 18/1 odds, sportsbooks are giving respect to his ability to climb the leaderboard at any given moment. ![]() The 29-year-old Texas native went on a tear between winning in 2015 and rattling off consecutive T10 finishes following his outright win at Augusta National, so he knows what it takes to win in a loaded field at an iconic venue with all of the world watching. OK, so maybe this isn't as bold as the other predictions, but getting Jordan Spieth back into the green jacket for the second time in 2023 seems much more likely than it has in recent years. ![]() The Masters Three Early Bold Predictions Jordan Spieth Outright Winner (+1800) Date: Thursday, ApSunday, April 9, 2023.The Masters Start Time and Where to Watch I'm here to give three early bold predictions ahead of the 2023 Masters and will explain why each of these bets is worth investing in ahead of next Thursday's opening round. ![]() We'll even see LIV players like Dustin Johnson and Cameron Smith competing, so factor in Woods' aura and we're shaping up for one of the most unique and memorable weekends at Augusta National in several years. Of course, it helps that Scheffler and all other former Green Jacket winners will gather and eat his favorite dishes in the clubhouse prior to going out and facing fierce competition. Scheffler is the defending champion here and he'll attempt to defend his title at golf's most iconic event. Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm, and Jordan Spieth comprise the top four outright betting favorites as we sit roughly a week out from the first round. Currently, Woods has 55/1 odds to win outright at Augusta, which would be his sixth and tie Jack Nicklaus for the lead. The field is loaded with rising stars and proven veterans, including the return of Tiger Woods, who made the cut during his last time competing in an event at Genesis earlier in 2023. 2023 Masters bold predictions: Expert gives three early bold predictions for the MastersĪugusta National Golf Club will be the site of the golf world once The Masters begins next Thursday, April 6th. ![]()
