That is five PGA winners this year! Four of them were pre-tourney outrights; one was a live wager on Sunday morning.
This week, well you know it is the Masters. You know this is a big deal in the golf world. You know I love Bryson. I want to be clear I have older bets on Bryson at 17/1 and Xander at 36/1 from several months ago.
For this week, I have made three real bets and one small sprinkle. Part of how I have had success betting golf is to bet numbers that seem out of line. Two numbers seem out of line to me. Rory at 19/1 and Brooks 28/1. In both cases, there is a reason why. Rory has been all over the place and may be changing his swing. Yet, his number is much bigger than it has been. I placed a small sprinkle on him.
Brooks had knee surgery a few weeks ago and thus, no one knows his health. Brooks at 28/1 is a fantastic number. I threw some down.
Will Z, aka Zoltan, is playing his first Masters and debutants, never win. Yet, at 90/1, I am sucker for him. I can throw a small bet on him and hope for the best. Probably a better Draft Kings play.
Lastly, I believe Bryson is going to win. You can find him at 11/1 in some spots and as short as 9/1 in others. I think he has been playing amazingly; he will have a length advantage as always. If he can putt well, he will have a chance to win. I think I have allocated more of my money on him percentage wise than I normally do. Normally if I bet four guys I will allocate like 30/30/30/10, with the 10% being someone who is like 150/1. This week, it is more like 80% on Bryson.
I want to add someone else in the middle range, but have yet to do it. I will post it on Twitter.
I will break down my wager by location, so you can get the best number possible. I am taking some shots here in each range, as you will see.
I am all about the sites having PGA odds boosts every week! If they do, I will continue to break them down as well. PGA betting is something I started a few years back and really enjoy. All you need is to hit one winner to have a great year, depending upon the price. Last year, obviously, I picked more than a few winners. I am going to list the other bets I continue to make of top 20’s, top 10’s, etc. I had only been listing my outrights, but I will now list everything.
Until the games start, let’s have some fun and build the pile!

PGA Odds Boosts You Should Consider Betting
Bet $50 on the Masters get a $25 free live bet for the Masters (Fox)
I was informed this is not available for everyone. I obviously did it I used it on Bryson.
DJ to hit the fairway on his opening tee shot. +100 (Fox)
This is max bet $10 and DJ has been spraying his driver, but for $10, I am in.
Brooks/Homa/Phil to make the cut +200 (Fox)
I have this as paying around +180. While it is a boost and I did bet Brooks, he could get hurt and withdrawal. The other two, well who knows? Everyone is -200 or better to make the cut, but I am passing here.
DJ/Spieth/Sergio/Reed to all make the cut +150 (DK)
This parlay should be around -138. Yes, this is a boost and these people should all make the cut.
DJ -1100 to make cut.
Spieth -1000 to make cut.
Reed -600 to make cut.
Sergio -430 to make cut.
I am in here.
Bryson/DJ Head to Head Boost (DK)
Pick one and boost them to beat the other to +150. I think you know where I am headed. DJ is favored here though and gives you more value.
Cantlay to finish Top 10 +230 (DK)
Cantly to finish top 10 on DK is priced at +175.
Cantly to finish top 10 on FD is also +175.
If you like him and thinks he gets there this is a solid boost. I am passing though.
DJ/Spieth/Bryson one of them to shoot 68 or better in round 1 +100 (FD)
If I like Bryson, it makes sense I would be on this. Spieth has been playing so well as you know too. DJ, has been ehhh recently, but I like having all three. I am in.
