Si Woo Kim +15000

Kim was mentioned by Tim Schmitt of Golfweek on the Bet Slippin’ Podcast’s 2020 Masters special as a name to watch. The 2017 Players Championship winner hasn’t won on the PGA Tour since, but he tied for 13th at the PGA Championship this summer.

Kim is excellent on par 4s, especially from this week’s key distance of 450-500 yards. He has finished inside the top 25 at the Masters each of the last two years and enters this year’s tournament 80th in the Golfweek rankings.

Tiger Woods Betting Promotion

Christiaan Bezuidenhout +30000

One of the biggest changes for the first-ever fall Masters will be the absence of patrons after the tournament was postponed from mid-April due to the COVID-19 pandemic. These circumstances could allow for a Masters debutant to win for the first time since Fuzzy Zoeller in 1979.

Bezuidenhout, a 26-year-old from South Africa, is 59th in the Official World Golf Ranking but peaked at No. 45 earlier this year. He averaged 0.90 SG: Putting over 20 international events in the 2019-20 season and will benefit from a distraction-free Masters.

New to sports betting? A $10 bet on Kuchar (+12500) to win the Masters would return a profit of $1,250. A $10 bet on Bezuidenhout (+30000) would return a profit of $3,000.
