Blog#231 The Masters April 10-13, 2025

Augusta National Par 72

Purse $20M same as last year

HISTORY

Scheffler won last year and is this years odds on favorite, my favorite is Rory.

Hole #12 starts Amen Corner then 14 and 15 could decide the tournament.

MY FAVORITES

1 Rory McIlroy 7/1 Great start this year with 2 wins and a 5th place 2 weeks ago in Houston. I think he is ready physically and mentally to win the Grand Slam.

2 Bryson DeChambeau 20/1 He was in it last year but shot 73 in RD4.

3 Collin Morikawa 16/1 Blows 3 stroke lead with 5 to go at API but he may win.

4 Ludvig Aberg 18/1 Missed cut at Players and did not play well at Arnold Palmer.

5 Justin Thomas 22/1 Could have won The Valspar but for 2 bogies on last few holes.

Upset unlikely, I feel one of these 5 will win.

MY LONG SHOTS

1 Scottie Scheffler 4/1 Could have won in Houston, I don’t think his game is there yet.

2 Joaquin Niemann 28/1 One of 2 Special Invitees and one of the best on LIV.

3 Brooks Koepka 30/1 Picked 5th favorite last year finished 45th, he will be motivated.

4 Viktor Hovland 35/1 Game back with win at Valspar, watch out.

5 Tyrrell Hatton 40/1 Won on DP in January but missed Masters cut last year.

SUPPER LONG SHOTS

1 Jon Rahm 14/1 Won in 2023, finished 45th last year 76 on final RD.

2 Hideki Matsuyama 28/1 First Japanese golfer to win a major, the 2021 Masters.

3 Jordan Spieth 33/1 First Masters was in 2014, was 2nd to Bubba Watson. Won his 1st major here in 2015. In 2016 he had a 5 stroke lead going into back 9 Of final RD. Hit 2 balls in the water on 12 for a quadruple bogie and finished 2nd.

4 Shane Lowry 35/1 If Rory does not win he may pick it up for his friend.

5 Max Greyserman 300/1 Don’t think he has a chance but he will surprise soon.
