Insights: Regardless of tour, Bryson is one of the hottest golfers in the world, coming into this week having won back-to-back events in Singapore and South Africa. The last two years at Augusta, Bryson got out to flaming-hot starts, but fell apart on Sunday. In fact, he has 0 rounds in the 60s on Sundays at the Masters in 7 tries, including a 75 last year to completely fall out of contention. Going one step further, each appearance in Augusta has had at least 1 round of 74 or higher, though he also had back-to-back, sub-70 rounds last year. As you can see, Bryson’s range of outcomes day-to-day is vast. He has the tools, but the begging question remains: can he put it all together for 4 days in this type of field? I guess we shall see. For me, the price doesn’t scream value enough for me to hop in and feel good about it. -S

Insights: Rory enters Augusta as the defending champion, looking to do something last accomplished by Tiger Woods in 2001–2002, but his lead-in form raises more questions than confidence. During an interview on the ANWA broadcast, he mentioned enjoying the perks of last year’s win and planning to lock in on Wednesday. The mindset sounds steady and relaxed, but it’s fair to question whether the game is peaking at the right time. While 2 of the last 7 Masters winners had a WD in their previous four starts — softening the concern around his withdrawal — it’s the T46 at THE PLAYERS that stands out more, especially with the Top 35 last start trend in play. The WD itself was also unusual, coming while in contention after a 68 in Round 2, adding another layer of uncertainty. Pair that with not having teed it up since THE PLAYERS, and it’s a subtle concern compared to last year’s Houston tune-up. Statistically, the profile remains elite tee-to-green. He’s gained OTT in four straight, continues to flash on approach, and his around-the-green play has been strong — but the putter remains the swing factor. He even lost strokes on the greens here last year in the win, and it ultimately held him back at Sawgrass as well. Augusta history tells a familiar story: Rory tends to start slow (just two sub-70 opening rounds in 17 appearances) before making his move on the weekend. With the expected setup and conditions, a fast start may not be required this week, which gives a bit more leeway. He’s posted 17 rounds in the 60s here, including seven on Sunday, reinforcing that “backdoor charge” narrative. At +1200, you’re paying for the ceiling — and it’s absolutely there — but the path feels narrow. If history holds, Rory likely shakes off rust Thursday and starts to build into the tournament Friday. I’d lean toward holding off on a pre-tournament ticket and instead look to the Round 2 market for a better entry point. -C
Jon Rahm
Odds: +1100
Stats: N/A

SG Gains: OTT 4/4, APP 4/4, ARD 4/4, PUTT 3/4
FORM: 1/5/1/2
Masters Results: 14/45/1/27/5/7/9/4/27
Masters Scoring: 13 of 36 Rounds in 60s; Low: 65 (twice); First Round Leader: 2023

Comp Results: 1/1/1/1/2/2/2/3/5/5/7/7/7/8/9/10/17/21/29
Insights: Rahmbo arrives with arguably the best form in the field, even if it’s LIV. Five straight Top 5 finishes (2-5-1-2-2) and a win in Hong Kong that snapped a winless stretch dating back to September 2024, and since then, the game looks fully dialed. Across his last four starts, he’s gained in all four key categories in three of them, with the only blemish being a slight dip with the putter — and even that hasn’t slowed the results. Zooming out, his last 10 starts (2-5-1-2-2-9-13-2-2-5) stack up with anyone in this field with the biggest question coming into the year was when he’d win again — now that box is checked. Is another Major to follow? Augusta is a proven fit. A former champion with nine straight made cuts and a history of being firmly in the mix, his Sunday scoring stands out in a big way — SIX of his last NINE Sunday rounds in the 60s, including FOUR of his last FIVE. That’s elite closing ability and a huge weapon at this course. While he’s been more middle-of-the-pack early in the week (just three of nine opening rounds in the 60s), he consistently builds into contention, making a live-betting angle very much in play if you don’t want to invest at 11/1. Major form over the last couple years shows he’s been around the first page without fully breaking through, but this year feels like the stretch where that changes. He’s only three years removed from his Green Jacket, Wins historically at Torrey, Riviera and Kapalua only reinforce the Spanish fit. At +1100, you’re not getting a bargain, but you are getting one of the most complete and in-form players in the world and plenty of supporters in the market. Whether it’s from chasing or controlling from the front, Rahm has multiple paths to get it done. Clear short list play and a strong One-and-Done option — if not the anchor of your card this week. -C

Insights: Dad bod X tees it up this week with a strong mix of form, history, and course fit. He’s a proven performer in majors: THREE top-10s and multiple top-20s over the last two years, including a historic run in 2024. His recent back-to-back top-5s signal the game is in solid shape, reinforced by a 65 in the final round at Valspar, low round of the day and a strong final prep. Augusta history shows peaks of brillance, but perhaps I am a bit greedy and like to see more. His sub-70 rounds include two of eight Thursdays, one of seven Sundays and only two of fourteen weekend rounds. What does that picture look like to you? Statistically, Xander is strong off the tee, on approaches, around the greens, and putting, with very few weak points in recent SG trends. Do I see him inside Butler Cabin on Sunday? I will be the first to say, I am having a hard to reading the game of Xander this year and also have lost 0 dollars on him due to not backing him. Multiple Major winner and recent results make me ponder, but I just can’t get there. Tomorrow’s Wednesday Final Bets newsletter: S-C-H-A-U-F-F-E-L-E equals Hat Tip. -C
Scottie Scheffler

Comp Results: 3/5/7/7/7/10/12/12/13/20/20/30/MC/MC/MC
Insights: We’re getting to a point where you almost have to put Scottie’s recent results aside and look at the bigger picture. How often have we seen him at this price over the last few years? At the end of the day, Scottie loves Scottie tracks, and Augusta is absolutely a Scottie track with 4 straight Top 10s and a Top 20 finish in all 6 appearances. Some time away from the competitive grind of the sport might have been good for him, especially considering he and his wife just had another baby just about a week and a half ago. New baby energy? I could see it. All you have to decide is if you want to solo-barrel Scottie this week, or if you want to litter the middle of the board with multiple golfers. I’m currently leaning the former, but reserve the right to change my mind come Wednesday evening. -S
