Now there are so many prop bets available for such a big tournament like the U.S. Masters golf tournament but we’ve narrowed the field down to a handful that are going to make us winners too this weekend. So here are the best PGA prop bets to make for the 2019 U.S. Masters golf tournament. These odds were taken from Bet365 as of 4/9/19:
Top South African
- Louis Oosthuizen -110
- Brendan Grace +350
- Charl Schwartzel +350
- Justin Harding +750
- Trevor Immelman +2500
- Jovan Rebula +3500
I think this is just a two-way race between Louis Oosthuizen and Brendan Grace. When you look at the past Masters performances between these two golfers, Oosthuizen has finished higher than Grace in four out of the last Masters Tournament they played together, including last year where Oosthuizen finished T-12 and Grace at T-24. When you look at current form, Oosthuizen has played in six tournaments this year and has two Top 5 finishes: T-2 at the Valspar Championship and T-5 at the WGC-Dell Match Play. As for Grace, he has two Top 10 finishes in eight tournaments entered: T-2 at the Waste Management Phoenix Open and T-9 at the WGC-Dell Match Play. The difference between the two? Oosthuizen’s best finishes have happened in his last two tournaments played so he enters the Masters in better current form. Prediction: Louis Oosthuizen
Top European
- Rory McIlroy +275
- Justin Rose +450
- Jon Rahm +550
- Francesco Molinari +750
- Paul Casey +800
- Tommy Fleetwood +800
- Sergio Garcia +1800
- Henrik Stenson +1800
- Ian Poulter +2200
- Matthew Fitzpatrick +2200
- Rafael Cabrera Bello +3300
- Tyrrell Hatton +3300
Rory was T-7 and T-5 in his last two Masters Appearance. Jon Rahm was the Top European finisher last year and Sergio Garcia won in 2017 but Rory Mcilroy was T-7 and T-5 in his last two Masters appearances and he is having a fantastic start to 2019 with seven Top 10 finishes in eight tournaments played including a victory at THE PLAYERS Championship. Don’t sleep on Justin Rose though. The world #1 also has three Top-10 finishes in five tournaments played in 2019. Rose’s last Masters results have been T-12, 2, T-10 and T-2 in the last four years. Hey, at $175 better than Rory’s odds, I’ll take Justin Rose here. Prediction: Justin Rose
Top German
- Martin Kaymer -138
- Bernhard Langer +110
Let me start this discussion by stating that Bernhard Langer is a two-time Masters winner, despite the fact that his last win at Augusta was in 1993. Comparing current form wouldn’t be to ideal because Langer plays in the PGA Tour Champions. But when you take a look at his results there, he’s not finished lower than 5th in four tournaments played this year and has three Top-3 finishes including a victory at the 2019 Oasis Championship. When it comes to playing in the Masters, Langer has been hit and miss. He missed the cut in 2017 and 2015 and finished 38th in 2018 and 24th in 2016. In both years he’s made the cut, he finished higher than Martin Kaymer. I think Langer is playing well this year to make the cut this year and outplay Martin Kaymer at Augusta. Prediction: Bernhard Langer
Top Senior
- Bernhard Langer +137
- Fred Couples +187
- Vijay Singh +225
- Jose Maria Olazabal +4000
- Ian Woosnam +5000
- Sandy Lyle +5000
- Larry Mize +6000
We already know what Langer has done in the last couple of years and how he’s doing in the PGA Tour Champions this year. As for Freddie, Couples hasn’t played as well in the current year at the PGA Tour Champions but Couples finished a T-38 at last year’s Masters, same with Langer and the American was a T-18 in 2017 when Langer missed the cut. Vijay Singh was a T-49 at the Masters last year but missed the cut in the two years before that. Olazabal? He’s missed the cut in his last three tries at the Masters. I don’t want to Bernhard Langer bandwagon but this one’s a pick’em fight between him and Freddie. Again, I will choose Langer’s consistency this year over Couple. Actually, this is the best value bet for Bernhard Langer. Prediction: Langer +137.
Top Left Handed Player
- Bubba Watson -125
- Phil Mickelson +105
- Mike Weir +4000
When you’re nicknamed Lefty, that must mean something special. Phil Mickelson isn’t just nicknamed Lefty, he’s won at Augusta thrice, the last of which was in 2010. He was second in 2015 and his last two finishes were T-36 and T-22. But Bubba Watson was a T-5 last year after missing the cut in the 2017 Masters. Watson’s a good pick at -125 but I’ll take my chances on Lefty. Prediction: Phil Mickelson
Nationality of Winner
- American +100
- Europe +130
- Rest of the World +500
When you take a look a the previous U.S. Masters winners for the past decade, Five since 2010 have been American, two from Europe, one from Asia and another from Africa. Getting an American winner at even money is good value for me as the home boys usually step it up at this prestigious tournament. Prediction: American +100
