2018 Masters Betting Preview PT 2

He comes into the tournament with a distinctly shorter price than many others and he trades as the outright favourite right now despite him being a grouped together with four or five other contenders who all trade at a relatively comparable price to the Irishman.

Justin Thomas remains very much in the mix for this one and he’s going to be amongst the top contenders right up until the betting markets shift into their live status going forward. He has a real good eye for things and has a great ability to sink clutch putts and that could wind up being a genuinely interesting variable in a contest where the greens are so incredibly difficult.

Dustin Johnson is a very interesting option as well and he’s right there trading amongst the top couple of favourites to pull off a victory on one of the biggest stages in all of professional golf. While some bookmakers list him at a single digit price there are still a few who see him as a double-digit contender and - based on that - to be an interesting each-way option.

Tiger Woods is the next shortest price contender and he deserves plenty of respect coming into this one. Woods really needs no introduction and the former World #1 would catapult himself and, also, the sport of golf right back into the national consciousness if he was able to pull off a victory here.

Jordan Spieth - a past winner - is just a little bit off the pace as the fifth shortest priced contender here while Justin Rose definitely deserves some respect from the bettors as well.
