2022 Masters odds, field, best bets, and PGA Tour picks

Finally, it’s time.

Three-dollar beer, pimento cheese sandwiches, and Tiger freaking Woods.

It’s the Masters.

The best players in the world have officially entered the gates of Magnolia Lane for the year’s first men’s major championship. The aforementioned Woods arrived at Augusta National on Sunday to further evaluate his body to see if he’ll be capable of playing in the event.

Earlier Tuesday, Woods announced he expects to tee it up on Thursday morning.

The now-former World No. 1, Jon Rahm, is the betting favorite at +1000. Just behind him sits Justin Thomas who has become the consensus pick to win the green jacket over the last several weeks. The Alabama product is +1300.

Key statistics

Strokes Gained: Approach: It’s critical to have the iron play dialed in around this course. If it’s not, balls are going to find the wrong portions of these greens and two putting is going to be difficult.

Strokes Gained: Around the Green: The players will miss greens this week, it’s inevitable. Getting up and down to minimize damage is the best way to stay in contention.

Betting card for the 2022 Masters

Sue me, I didn’t have J.J. Spaun winning the Valero Texas Open, just like 99.99 percent of America. Only went with a few outrights last week to save some coin for this week, so let’s roll.

Up 12.69 units on position plays, and up 23.5 units on outright plays in 2022.
