It’s the event where all the big boys turn up. Rory McIlroy, Dustin Johnson and Justin Rose head the pack as the favourites to lift the title in Abu Dhabi. Johnson has certainly started 2018 well with victory at the Tournament of Champions. For the others, it is the first one of the season.
After being bumped to mid-November last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Masters will be resuming its usual place as the first major on the golfing calendar. The world's best players will tee it up at Augusta National from April 8-11.
Dustin Johnson produced a terrific recovery on the 72nd hole to finish -14 and win the WGC by one stroke from England's Tommy Fleetwood.
With the Golf Spiv still AWOL it looks like it's up to Golfhacker to highlight the ones to watch at the BMW Masters in China. He tipped Russell Knox to fight back and suggested that Danny Willett could come back despite his 100/1 odds on Friday.
Originally booked to take place back in April – but postponed, due to the worldwide Coronavirus pandemic – the rescheduled 2020 Masters is fast approaching. Rory McIlroy and this year’s US Open champion Bryson DeChambeau are battling it out for favouritism in the recent US Masters odds, whilst last year’s Green Jacket winner, Tiger Woods, is as far out as 20/1.
You can imagine how annoyed the Spiv was yesterday morning when he woke up to find out that Brandt Snedeker didn’t win the Sony Open after a play off. Gomez deserved it and well played, that man. But still managed Each Ways on Sneds and Kisner so on the whole...can’t grumble too much now can I?
Will it be a Monday finish at the 83rd Masters?
Great to deliver a winner again for GolfPunk readers; nervy stuff but Paul Casey held on to win at 26/1 at last week’s Valspar Championship!!
It’s finally here! The final men's Major of the season. The Masters in Augusta is taking place in the Autumn for the first time ever and let’s face it, we are all excited. The betting market will be excited too. Skybet is so excited that they are offering eleven places on all Each Way bets. Dustin Johnson 17/2 (PaddyPower) Brooks Koepka 16/1 (Bet365) Tyrrell Hatton 28/1 (William Hill)
With the 2022 Masters just a few short weeks away, now is a good time to take a look at the competition in detail and try to identify which golfer is best positioned to take the prestigious green jacket.
A star-studded field, top quality course and a prize fund of $7 Million makes the Dubai Duty Free Irish Open the one to watch this week. Especially when the Golf Spiv has flushed out the value...
Even if the men's and women's major schedule is almost complete, with just the Women's Open to come at the famous Muirfield links course in Scotland, there is plenty for the fans in the coming months.
