The Masters is one of the highest profile sports tournaments in the world. It traditionally makes up the first part of the four majors of golf and with that come a certain prestige that many golf tournaments fail to recreate.

The 2021 tournament will be the 85th edition of this famous event, and as always it will take place at the Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia, southeastern USA.

Unlike most regular golf tournaments that can often get overlooked by the bookies when it comes to offers, for the Majors there are some interesting promotions you can get your mitts on – including enhanced places (up to 10!), money back if specific players win and, of course, some free bets.

US Masters Betting Tips

Please note: The following tips are for the 2020 Masters tournament with the 2021 update available before the start of the event.

It has already been a very strange year in the world of golf but the sight of the best players in the sport teeing it up at Augusta National in November takes the biscuit. After it became clear that the Masters could not be played in April, the organisers swiftly took the decision that they were postponing the tournament, rather than cancelling it as per the Open Championship, which has led us to a November Masters. That means back-to-back US Masters in terms of majors, with the 2021 tournament the first of the four big ones next season.

Returning to 2020, November in Augusta, Georgia is not quite the same as November in Britain but there is no doubt the weather will play a significant role in determining this year’s winner of the green jacket. Rain is forecast for every day of the 2020 Masters which will soften up the course.

That could hand an even greater advantage to the big hitters in the field as balls will roll less down the fairways, but that advantage will disappear without high class approach shots into the right portions of Augusta National’s fearsome greens. That will be easier than normal with longer irons, with the greens set to be softer and more receptive, so some of the advantage of distance from the tee a little offset. With so many potential winners from the stellar field assembled, the first November Masters promises to be a feast of unmissable golf.

The Favourites

Bryson DeChambeau may have filled more column inches then even defending champion Tiger Woods ahead of this year’s Masters. The US Open champion has been teasing the world of golf with some frankly ludicrous (but true) driving stats in his pre-tournament preparations and promises to try and take Augusta National apart with his ultra aggressive style of golf. The market has paid great attention to reports of DeChambeau’s impressive displays in practice rounds and he is the bookies’ favourite at 8/1. Up to six in the world now, he is a worthy favourite and seems sure to go close.

Dustin Johnson follows next in the betting at a best price of 9/1. The Masters follows hot on the heels of a very good display from Johnson at the Houston Open where he narrowly missed out on the win despite using the tournament as a warm up for Augusta. Jon Rahm (10/1) decided to work on his game away from the course rather than compete at Houston last week, as did the man with whom Rahm tied for second at the recent Zozo Championship, Justin Thomas. The 27-year-old American is the fourth favourite at 12/1 and his approach play should give him a real chance.

Rory McIlroy is in his element on soft golf courses. The Augusta weather forecast has, therefore, understandably seen a great amount of money come for McIlroy’s chances of completing the career Grand Slam. If he does so, he will win his first major championship since 2014 and at odds of 12/1 he may offer a little value despite some patchy form since golf’s return.

Outsiders

It may be stretching things a little bit to call a two-time Masters champion a dark horse but the feeling remains that Bubba Watson is flying a little under the radar this week at 30/1. Everybody knows that Watson has the power required to score well at Augusta National but his approach play is sometimes underrated. He ranks eighth on the PGA Tour for strokes gained off the tee, ninth for strokes gained approaching the green and fourth from tee to green. Throw in back-to-back top 10s ahead of Augusta and that looks very much like a player who can contend at the Masters.

The stats don’t tell quite as convincing a story for Cameron Champ but he surely has a decent chance of pulling off something special at 66/1. The lack of fans and different feel to Augusta National this year may just reduce the importance of experience at this year’s Masters and with his prodigious distance, Champ is as well placed as any of the debutantes to make a sustained run at the title.

Other players who catch the eye away from the top of the betting include a trio of Englishmen – Paul Casey (70/1), Matt Wallace (150/1) and Lee Westwood (110/1). The latter has a host of top 10s here and his approach play should give him a chance of outperforming those huge odds.

Predictions & Tips

Dustin Johnson does not have history on his side ahead of the 2020 Masters. His tournament history includes being forced to withdraw from the championship when the bookies’ favourite in 2017 after he fell down the stairs of his rental home, whilst you have to go back to 2002 for the last time that the world number one pulled on the green jacket.

This promises to be a Masters like no other though so, whilst you can’t quite throw previous stats out of the window, strange things are likely to happen. That is not to say that a win for Johnson would be strange given the quality of his recent form. The last 12 weeks have brought two wins (albeit one came with a 10 stroke head start), two second places and a first FedEx Cup success. Moreover, if any player is going to be unaffected by the lack of fans or strange atmosphere at Augusta National, it may well be the ultra-calm Johnson, so he is the pick from the top of the market at 9/1.

Masters Betting Games

Bubba Watson is much more outwardly emotional than Dustin Johnson (although that doesn’t take much to be fair). He very obviously puts his all into his golf as the patrons at Augusta National have seen first hand. Watson has also spoken bravely about his mental health struggles recently. Sports people of all codes find it difficult to separate their life outside of sport with their in-competition self which makes Watson’s recent play all the more impressive. It’s a couple of years since he tasted victory but even if he falls short of a third green jacket this week, Watson should be able to return nicely for an each way bet at chunky odds of 30/1.

Betting Tip – Dustin Johnson to win at 9/1

Each Way Betting Tip – Bubba Watson at 30/1

About The US Masters

The Masters is one of the most anticipated golf tournaments in the world, being the first of the four Majors that are played each year. It is held annualy at the same venue, which is the Augusta National Golf Club in the US state of Georgia.

Masters Betting Odds

The course is arguably as well-known as the tournament, famed for its picture-perfect playing conditions and challenging layout. It measures 7,475 yards in total, making it a favourite for long hitters. A great deal of accuracy is required in order to succeed, with the course testing even the best in the game.

Augusta is so well manicured that it’s been reported that if a branch from a tree has to be cut down then they would paint over the stub on the tree to make it look as idyllic as possible. Another example of this perfectionist attitude towards the upkeep of the course is the use of a ‘shimmer’ spray which makes the flowers glisten in the sun. Whilst that may seem over-the-top for a golf tournament, it really is what makes the Masters unique.

The course at Augusta was the brainchild of golfing legend Bobby Jones. Construction started in 1931 and the course opened fully in 1933. The first official Masters tournament was held in 1934, when it was then known as the ‘Augusta National Invitational’ Horton Smith won the tournament. It was in 1939 when the tournament took on the present day name and has remained ‘The Masters’ ever since.

Tournament Format for the Masters

The Masters is seen as where the golf season really begins for a lot of fans, due to the fact that it is the first major of the year. Tournaments prior to the Masters are seen as a warm-up for the main event, which is held in the second week of April and has been since 1948.

Unlike the other majors, the Masters is strictly an invitational event. Although, the majority of the invitations are sent to players who meet a certain qualifying criteria, the Masters Committee invites some players from around the world at their own discretion.

Some of that criteria includes the following: previous champions; any Major winner over the last five years; winners of the Players Championship; Amateur champions from numerous parts of the world; and the top fifty ranked players as seen by the official world golf rankings.

With a few exceptions, the first round of the Masters gets underway on the second Sunday in April. There are four rounds of golf to be played, with eighteen holes of golf played on each round and one round played per day. The groups are split up into threes for the first two rounds and then pairs for the second two. There’s a cut-off point after thirty-six holes, designed to reduce the side of the field ahead of the weekend. Since 2013, players within ten shots of the leader or within the top fifty golfers make the cut. Any players tied for the lead after four days of golf then enter a sudden-death play-off.

The Green Jacket & Other Traditions

The Masters boasts a number of traditions, with the presentation of the Green Jacket being the most notable of them. It is due to the fact that members of Augusta National wear a green sport coat when on the grounds of the club and each winner of the competition becomes an honorary member.

The tournament’s victor has been presented with a Green Jacket since 1949, though they have unofficially received one since even earlier. It is initially given to the winner in what is known as the Butler Cabin but is then given to them again on the eighteenth green in front of those that have come to watch the final day’s play. They get to keep the jacket for a year but it is then returned to the club where it remains until the player next returns to the course.

The rules state that the jacket must not to leave the golf club after the first year, though Gary Player, Seve Ballesteros and Henry Picard have all broken this unspoken rule for differing reasons.

Tradition dictates that the previous year’s winner presents the champion with their jacket. When Jack Nicklaus won back-to-back tournaments for the first time in 1966 this obviously wasn’t possible, so he simply put the jacket on itself. When Nick Faldo won consecutive Masters in 1990 he was presented with the Green Jacket by the chairman of the golf club, which is something that was repeated when Tiger Woods won his second consecutive Masters in 2002.

In 2017 a Green Jacket was sold at auction for $139,000 dollars, having been found at a thrift store twenty-three years earlier.

Awards & Other Customs

There are other fun traditions that take place at the Masters each year. As an example, the player who scores the lowest each day is given a crystal vase, whilst players who manage to score a hole-in-one or who get an Albatross are given a large bowl made of crystal. Every time a player scores an Eagle they are given a pair of goblets that are also made of crystal.

The winner receives a gold medal along with their Green Jacket. There is also a trophy which is silver and that shows the clubhouse at Augusta. Each Champion receives a replica with the actual trophy remaining at the Augusta National.

Since 1951 the runner-up has been given a silver medal. They are also given a silver salver, which is a tradition that dates back to 1978.

In 1952 the organisers of the Masters decided to acknowledge the best performance by an amateur golfer by giving them a Silver Cup. This was given to the amateur that made the cut with the lowest score. Also, two years later, the amateur runner-up began receiving a silver medal.

Other Masters traditions include the hitting of the first ball by a former legendary player, which has been done since 1963. That was eleven years after the first Champions’ Dinner was held. This sees the defending champion honour past champions of the event with a dinner on the Tuesday evening ahead of the first round two days later. The defending champion selects the menu which tends to be food from their home region.

The last point of note is the fact that Masters winners are automatically invited to take part in each of the other three Majors for the five years after their victory, plus membership of the PGA Tour for the same period of time. This is designed to give them a sense of career security, though the prize money of in excess of two million dollars probably also helps.

Bobby Jones and the Building of Augusta

Bobby Jones had long been thinking of building a golf course for when he retired from the game, searching the US for a decent spot to solidify his dream. He turned to an investment banker named Clifford Roberts for advice and the pair discovered a former plantation and plant nursery in Atlanta, Georgia. Jones was reported to have said, “Perfect! And to think this ground has been lying here all these years waiting for someone to come along and lay a golf course upon it”.

He worked with a British golf course designer named Alister MacKenzie to create the course, using his experience to create one that made use of the natural features of the location it was built on.

MacKenzie has designed more than sixty courses before he was invited to try his hand at Augusta, including the Royal Adelaide Golf Club in Australia and Fray Bentos Golf Club in Uruguay. There’s little question that the National Golf Club in Georgia was his crowning glory, though he died before the first Masters tournament was played at it. The inaugural Masters took place in March of 1934 and boasted a prize pot of $1,500.

Interestingly, that first version of the Masters saw the current back nine holes played first and the current front nine played last, with the reversal not taking place until the following year. Jones had asked the United States Golf Association to play the US Open on the course but they’d refused. As a result, the initial tournament was just for him and his closest friends.

Palmer, Player and Nicklaus Put The Masters on the Map

In 1935 a golfer named Gene Sarazen hit a shot that earned the moniker of ‘the shot heard ‘round the world’ when he holed from the fairway with his second shot on the par five fifteenth, giving himself an Albatross and forcing a play-off with Craig Wood.

Even so, the Masters didn’t yet have the reputation that it enjoys today. It wasn’t helped by the fact that it didn’t take place between 1943 and 1945, with the course being used raise turkey and cattle in order to help with the war effort. It wasn’t until Arnold Palmer, Gary Player and Jack Nicklaus began to dominate that people truly started to pay attention to what was going on at the Peach State golf course.

Palmer got the excitement underway in 1958 when he won the tournament by one shot, but it was when he repeated the trick in 1960 and the golfing world began to sit up and take notice. He was two shots behind Ken Venturi as he began playing the seventeenth but birdied the final two holes to win by one. He then won again in 1962 and 1964, laying down a marker for other players to follow.

Jack Nicklaus did exactly that, emanating Palmer by winning his first Masters in 1963 by just a single stroke. It wasn’t anywhere near as close when he won his second Masters two years later, causing Bobby Jones to say that he played a game ‘with which I am not familiar’ when he set the then course record of seventeen under par. ‘The Golden Bear’ became the first player to win back-to-back Masters when he beat Tommy Jacobs and Gay Brewer in an eighteen-hole play-off the following year.

In 1961, Gary Player became the first non-American golfer to win the Masters when he defeated Arnold Palmer. Thirteen years later he won the Green Jacket again, taking it with two shots to spare. Four years after that and at the ripe old age of forty-two, Player won the tournament for the third and final time.

He may not have won it since, but that didn’t end his love affair with the tournament. He went on to make the cut twenty-three times consecutively, which is a joint-record with Fred Couples, playing in the Masters fifty-two times in total. The South African is one of just five golfers to date to have won the Grand Slam of the Masters, the US Open, the British Open and the PGA Championship, with the others being Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Jack Nicklaus, and Tiger Woods.

Roberto De Vincenzo Signs Away His Chances in 1968

Whilst the 1960s should have been know exclusively about the play of some of the best golfers ever to grace the game, it’s arguably best-known for what happened in 1968.

Roberto De Vincenzo, the Argentinian golfer, was playing brilliantly and made a birdie three on the seventeenth. Unfortunately for him, his playing partner Tommy Aaron wrote it down as a four and De Vincenzo signed the score card at the end of the round. According to the rules of golf, if a player signs their card then they accept the score that is written on it, even if it’s incorrect.

The Argentinian should have played a play-off against Bob Goalby, but instead the American claimed victory by one point and took home the Green Jacket. More controversially by modern standards however is the fact that a black player wasn’t allowed to play on the course until Lee Elder did so in 1975. It would be a further fifteen years before the club accepted its first black member.

Europeans Share the Spoils in the 80’s and 90’s

In the twenty years between 1980 and 2000, non-Americans picked up eleven wins at Augusta National. It remains the strongest run from players not born in the United States in any of the three Majors played in the US.

In 1980 it was Seve Ballesteros who took home the Green Jacket, becoming the first European to win the Masters. Six years later saw the return of Jack Nicklaus, who beat Gary Player’s record of being the oldest golfer to win the event when he did so at the age of forty-six. It was also his sixth victory in the competition, which remains a record. Yet of all of the non-Americans who have won the Masters, it is one that has never won it that is perhaps most closely associated with the event.

Greg Norman’s Masters Woes

Greg Norman should’ve won at least one Green Jacket during his career, but the pressure of doing so seemed to get to him every time he was within a shout of managing to do so.

In 1987 for example, he was in a sudden-death play-off for the Masters title against Larry Mize only to see the American hole a forty-five yard pitch to birdie the second-hole of the play-off and win.

Nine years later and he looked nailed on for a victory, tying the course record with an opening round of sixty-three and having a six-stroke lead over Englishman Nick Faldo heading into the final day. Faldo had already won the Masters twice, so he wasn’t phased by the Great White Shark’s impressive lead and shot sixty-seven in the final round whilst the Australian hit seventy-eight and lost by five shots.

Tiger Woods Emerges as a Sporting Superstar

Whilst the 1980s and 1990s might have been the time for non-American golfers, it was a period of time that was rounded off by the emergence of one of the country’s greatest ever players. Aged just twenty-one, Tiger Woods broke the Augusta National course seventy-two hole record by twelve shots, winning the 1997 tournament by twelve shots.

Four years later and he won it again, seeing victory in his fourth straight Major in what was dubbed the ‘Tiger Slam’. He became just the third player to win consecutive Masters titles when he won it again in 2002, earning his fourth Masters in 2005 when he beat Chris DiMarco in a play-off.

In 2019 Wood earned his fifth Green Jacket, twenty-two years after his first and eleven years after his last victory in a major. At 43, Woods became the second oldest Masters Champion.

The First Left-Handed Winners

In 2003 Mike Weir made history on two fronts, becoming the first ever Canadian to win a Major and also being the first left-handed golfer to win the Masters. As with Roger Bannister and the four-minute mile, though, as soon as one person had done it others followed.

One of the game’s best-known left-handers, Phil Mickleson, beat Ernie Els by a single shot on the final hole in 2004 to win his first Major and cement the idea that left-handers could win it. Eight years later and Bubba Watson won, ensuring that a left-handed golfer had won the Green Jacket on five of the previous ten outings.

Interesting Facts

Jack Nicklaus is the most decorated player in Masters history winning the event no fewer than six times. What’s probably most astonishing from his six victorious is that his final one was made at the ripe age of forty-six, which to this day is the oldest winner of the event. As a result, Nicklaus, along with Arnold Palmer and Gary Player, has been named as an official starter for the event, hitting the first tee-shots on the Thursday morning before the start of play.

Tiger Woods has won the event on five separate occasions, making him one of the most successful ever. He also holds the record for the youngest ever winner aged just twenty-one, and he also boasts the widest winning margin of twelve strokes and also the second lowest winning score of eighteen under (270).

The Augusta National course was originally a plant nursery and the committee were keen to keep some of its heritage by naming each hole after a shrub associated with each. Here are some other facts you might like:

• Jack Nicklaus has finished in the top ten more than any other player, doing so twenty-two times
• Dustin Johnson in 2020 won the Masters with the lowest score ever recorded at -20 (268)
• Guan Tianlang holds the record for being the youngest player to compete in the Masters, being aged fourteen years and one hundred and sixty-eight days in 2013
• Tianlang is also the youngest player to make the cut of not only the Masters but any Major tournament
• Just four players in the history of the Masters have scored an Albatross, or double-Eagle. These are Louis Oosthuizen, Gene Sarazen, Bruce Devlin and Jeff Maggert
• Ben Hogan, Tom Weiskopf and Jack Nicklaus share the record for finishing as runners-up the most often, doing so four times apiece

2020 Masters Tournament

The Masters Tournament is the first of the four major championships which run each year and, unlike the others, it is held at the same course every year. The Augusta National Golf Club, in the state of Georgia, hosts the US Masters Tournament every year in the first week of April. The first Masters was played in 1934, and apart from the war years has run every year since then.

It is an official money event on the PGA Tour, the European Tour and the Japan Golf Tour, but it is run as an invitational event and therefore the number of players in the Masters is smaller than those of the other major championships.

As you would imagine there have been a number of notable winners since the first Masters; Jack Nicklaus has won the Masters more than anyone else, with six titles between 1963 and 1986. Arnold Palmer and Tiger Woods have one four titles each and five more players have won three titles each at Augusta; Jimmy Demaret, Sam Snead, Gary Player, Nick Faldo and Phil Mickelson. South African, Player was the first non-US Masters winner in 1961 and the second was Spaniard, Seve Ballesteros who was the champion in 1980 and 1983.

There are also a number of idiosyncratic Masters traditions;

• Since 1949 the Champion has been awarded a green jacket. This jacket must be returned to the clubhouse one year after the victory (although it remains the winners personal property!) to hang with the other champions jackets in a special cloakroom. Usually, only a first time or reigning champion can remove his jacket from the club grounds. If you win more than once, you would use the same green jacket every time (unless it didn’t fit anymore!).
• Since 1952, a Champions Dinner is always held on the Tuesday before the tournament, and only past champions and certain board members of the Augusta National Golf club are invited to attend.
• Legendary golfers, usually past Masters champions, are invited to hit the honorary tee shot on the first morning of the first round to start the tournament including Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player.
• And since 1960 on the Wednesday the day before the opening round a semi-social par three course is played, often with family members caddying for the players.

Augusta National Golf Club was founded by well known amateur champion Bobby Jones and investment banker Clifford Roberts. The land, formerly a plant nursery, was acquired in 1930 with Jones co-designing the course alongside reputable course architect Alister MacKenzie. Since then the course has been modified many times by many different course architects.

The 2020 Masters Tournament, held at Augusta National Golf Club, Augusta, Georgia, United States between April 9, 2020 to April 12, 2020.
