#Augusta National

When it comes to Masters trends, Hideki Matsuyama broke the mold with his 2021 win. One of the great things about trying to handicap the golf season's first major is we're intimately familiar with Augusta National Golf Course, and the smaller field lends itself to the cream rising to the top. It's a big reason why Sunday at the Masters is the best…

Scottie Scheffler's lead has dropped from five strokes to three at the 2022 Masters, but he's an even larger favorite following his third-round 71 on Saturday. After finishing Round 2 at even money, Scheffler is now listed at 4-9 (-225) in the latest 2022 Masters odds from Caesars Sportsbook. Australian Cameron Smith is the only other golfer within…

When betting golf, you have to be prepared for some pain or "sadness" as Collin Morikawa called it after Sunday's final round at Kapalua. Morikawa looked like he was going to be a wire-to-wire winner at the Sentry Tournament of Champions as he had a nine-shot lead on the field with 17 holes left to play. At the turn, Morikawa was -20000 to win. He…

2023 Masters April 6, 2023 7:00 am EDT The PGA Tour will make it's annual stop to Augusta National for the 2023 Masters in April. Before I discuss my favorite early bet for the 2023 Masters let's take a look at the betting odds of past champions of this tournament to see if we can find any historical trends.

Given the state of his body (and his life) a year ago, the question, "Will Tiger Woods play in the Masters?" -- though certainly tiring and repetitive -- must feel like the easiest burden in the world for Woods to bear as April approaches. This time last year, following his horrific car wreck near Los Angeles just after the 2021 Genesis…

All eyes will be on a dream group on Thursday when the 2022 PGA Championship tees off at Southern Hills Country Club. Tiger Woods, Jordan Spieth and Rory McIlroy, who have a combined 22 major championships, will play together for the first two rounds. Spieth has three titles and needs to win the PGA Championship 2022 to join Woods and four other…

The PGA Tour resumes after a short winter break in the new year at the Plantation Course at Kapalua Resort in Maui, Hawaii for the 2023 Sentry Tournament of Champions. This will be a 72-hole, no-cut event with a 39-golfer field. Reigning champion Cameron Smith will not be defending his Sentry title after defecting to the LIV Tour at the end of last…

To say golf has had a whirlwind year in 2022 would be an understatement. The launch of LIV Golf has sparked a split in the heart of the men's game, with some of the biggest names in the world lining up on both sides of the path, ready and willing to sling mud. How that particular situation plays out in 2023 will of course be the sport's biggest…

Welcome to another edition of the Grind, where we are proud to say we carried a 20-day Peloton streak into the New Year. Unfortunately, we also carried a 30-day eat-like-an-absolute-pig streak as well. But that should come as no surprise to loyal readers (AKA my mom) as we begin an 11th year in this space. And while not much happened the past…

Masters week has begun at Augusta National, and most of us are eager to watch the action. Here's all the information you need to watch the 2022 Masters streaming live online. Augusta National Golf Club appreciates its mystique, and as a result TV broadcasts are limited to a few hours each day on ESPN and CBS, not great compared to other majors but…

April will be here before you know it, and coming along for the ride with it will be the start of golf's 2023 major championship season. Beginning at Augusta National for the Masters, as it typically does, the majors will go a long way to defining the game's best next year. While eyes around Augusta will be drawn to Tiger Woods and the return of…

ORLANDO, Fla. - Lee Trevino was holding court on the practice range at the PNC Championship as only he can, mixing swing advice with Merry Mex humor. He stopped to watch one player swing.

One of the great annual traditions of the Masters is the inclusion of myriad amateurs who qualified for the first major of the year.

It's…

The 150th Open Championship got underway in style Thursday with those in the morning wave experiencing much tamer conditions compared to those in the afternoon.

(The Associated Press) ORLANDO, Fla. - Lee Trevino was holding court on the practice range at the PNC Championship as only he can, mixing swing advice with Merry Mex humor.

Winning the Masters and having a green jacket put on you by the previous Masters champion is always a crowning moment in every professional golfer's career. The 2022 Masters features a lot of golfers with a stacked resume that is lacking that one very important line on it: Masters champion. Jon Rahm, Collin Morikawa, Justin Thomas, Rory McIlroy,…

EAST PROVIDENCE - How and when Patrick Welch lost his golf game never seemed coincidental. The sudden death of his father, Marty, in September 2020 took the former Classical standout's biggest fan and primary motivator. Welch's form over the next 12 months or so was unlike anything we'd seen from him previously. The budding superstar throughout his…

Of the 88 players in the 2021 Masters field, only one can complete a career grand slam with a victory.

Having shared my modeling strategy for this weekend's Valero Texas Open, it's time to apply it and make some picks. Today's column will focus on the derivative markets available to bettors before we dive into some matchup bets tomorrow.
