by Winning a major tournament is a defining moment in a golfer’s career. A number of players will seek their first major title at the 2023 Masters, which kicks off at Augusta National Golf Club on Thursday, April 6. Will Zalatoris (16-1) and Max Homa (16-1) have the shortest 2023 Masters odds of any golfer without a major championship. Patrick Cantlay (20-1), Xander Schauffele (20-1) and Sam Burns (25-1) are all among the talented 2023 Masters golfers looking for their first major title.
Scottie Scheffler (13-2), Rory McIlroy (15-2) and Jon Rahm (8-1) are among the 2023 Masters favorites to finish top of the standings. Other great champions like Cameron Smith (14-1), Jordan Spieth (14-1), Justin Thomas (15-1) and Tiger Woods (60-1) will also look to add to their collection at Augusta National. Before you lock in your Masters 2023 selections to compete in Masters DFS tournaments and cash games on sites like FanDuel and DraftKings, be sure to see golf predictions and projected standings from SportsLine’s proven computer model .
SportsLine’s exclusive model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been abuzz since the PGA Tour resumed in June 2020. In fact, the model has risen more than $8,400 on its best bets since the restart, nailing the tournament after tournament.
McClure’s model predicted that Jon Rahm would finish top of the 2023 Sentry Tournament of Champions and American Express leaderboard. The model also included JT Poston in his best bets to win the 2022 John Deere Classic. That bet reached +5,500, and for the entire tournament, McClure’s best bets returned nearly $1,100. At the 2022 Masters, McClure’s pattern was all over Scottie Scheffler’s first career major championship win heading into the weekend.
Additionally, McClure’s best bets included winning Collin Morikawa at the 2021 Open Championship, even though he was on the 40-1 long shot list. The pattern was also all over Rahm’s (10-1) career-first major league victory at the 2021 US Open. Rahm was two shots off the lead heading into the weekend, but the pattern still projected him as the winner.
This same model also managed eight major tournaments entering the weekend. Everyone who followed him saw massive returns.
Now that the 2023 Masters field is set, SportsLine has simulated the tournament 10,000 times, and the results have been startling. Head over to SportsLine now to see the projected standings.
Top predictions Masters 2023
A major surprise that the model is waiting for at the Masters 2023: Jordan Spieth, the champion of the Masters 2015, is struggling and does not even manage to place in the top 12. Spieth has played well in recent weeks, finishing fourth or better in two of his last four starts on the PGA Tour. However, the 2015 Masters champion has been inconsistent at Augusta National in recent years. In fact, Spieth has finished 46th or worse in two of his last three Masters starts.
The 29-year-old is also struggling off the tee this season, ranking 141st in total driving (234) and 173rd in driving accuracy percentage (53.24%). Augusta’s tree-lined fairways could cause major problems for Spieth this week, which is why the model has identified much better values in the 2023 Masters field.
The model also revealed where Tiger Woods will finish at the 2023 Masters. The 82-time PGA Tour champion is tied with Sam Snead for the most wins of all time, and the 15-time major winner has accomplished the unthinkable and finished top of the standings at the Masters in 2019, his first victory in a major tournament since 2008.
Woods is a long way from winning the 2023 Masters, oddsmakers say, but his success at the majors and his in-depth knowledge of the course could be major X-factors. The model just locked in her surprising Tiger Woods Masters picks here.
How to make the choices for the 2023 Masters
The model also targets three golfers with odds of 20 to 1 or more who will make surprising runs. Anyone backing these longshots could hit hard. You can only see the model’s PGA choices here.
