2021 Masters 4/8/21 - PGA Picks, Odds & Betting Predictions
Golf's first of four majors tees off on Thursday. The 85th edition of the Masters at the Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia will have the best in the world on hand. Defending Champion Dustin Johnson returns and is the +950 favorite while Bryson DeChambeau and this past weekend’s winner Jordan Spieth are second in odds at +1150.
This is the second time the Masters has been played in the last six months due to the pandemic and Dustin Johnson is attempting to win back-to-back Green Jackets but that has not been done since 2002 when Tiger Woods won two straight. However, Jordan Spieth is coming off a victory at the Texas Open on Sunday for his first title on the PGA tour since 2017 and will be one to watch.
Many other top-ranked golfers will tee off on Thursday including Rory McIlroy, Brooks Koepka, who is returning from an injury, John Rahm, Justin Thomas and Collin Morikawa amongst many others. Golfers wait with great anticipation to tee off at Augusta National in April. Last November, after the Masters was delayed seven months, Dustin Johnson finished 20-under to win going away.
The Augusta National Golf Club is a 7,474-yard par 72, well known for Amen Corner that consists of the 11th, 12th and 13th holes. All fairways are cut in the same direction, which is towards the tea boxes, therefore when balls land they tend to stop quicker than on many other courses, making the course longer than it really is. The short par 3 12th has cost many a player a title as tee shots directly over the water at a bunker the size of a dime tests the best of nerves.
