Tiger Woods will defend his title starting on Thursday, when the 2020 Masters tees off from Augusta National Golf Club. Woods will be paired alongside Shane Lowry and Andy Ogletree through the first two days of action. He has finished on top of the Masters leaderboard five times at Augusta National, and if he's able to pull off a victory this week, he'll tie Jack Nicklaus for the most green jackets of all-time at six.
However, Woods hasn't played much golf leading up to the Masters 2020. In fact, he's appeared in just five tournaments since August, finishing outside the top 50 in four of those events. Woods enters this week's event as a 35-1 long shot according to the latest 2020 Masters odds from William Hill Sportsbook. Bryson DeChambeau, who's coming off his first major championship win at the U.S. Open, is the 8-1 favorite on the PGA odds board. Before locking in your 2020 Masters picks or entering any PGA DFS tournaments on sites like DraftKings and FanDuel, be sure to see the latest 2020 Masters predictions and projected leaderboard from the proven computer model at SportsLine.
SportsLine's prediction model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been on fire since the return of the PGA Tour in June. In fact, it's up over $11,000 on its PGA best bets since the restart, nailing tournament after tournament.
After nailing Sergio Garcia (+5500) finishing on top of the leaderboard at the Sanderson Farms Championship, McClure finished up over $6,200 yet again on his best bets. The model had him in the top five from the start and McClure's best bets included Garcia winning outright. Those who followed that advice saw a massive +5500 return.
He also finished profitable at the U.S. Open, nailing two of his best bets, including a +1100 top-five bet on Matthew Wolff. McClure hit a top-five bet (+1200) on Doc Redman at the Wyndham Championship, finishing up over $700 on his best bets.
The model was all over Dustin Johnson (8-5) finishing on top of the leaderboard at the Tour Championship and Justin Thomas winning the WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational at 12-1. And at the 3M Open, McClure's best bets returned a whopping $1,100 as he nailed a top-five pick on Max Homa (+1200) and a top-20 pick on Talor Gooch (+400). Those are just some of his recent big returns.
In all, the advanced computer model has also nailed a whopping six majors entering the weekend. That includes Patrick Reed winning his career-defining first major in 2018. Anyone who has followed its golf picks has seen massive returns.
Now that the 2020 Masters field is locked, SportsLine simulated the event 10,000 times, and the results were surprising. Head to SportsLine now to see the projected leaderboard.
The model's top 2020 Masters predictions
One huge shocker the model is calling for at the Masters 2020: Woods, the defending champion and 15-time major winner, stumbles and doesn't even crack the top 10. Woods has been sensational throughout his career at Augusta National, winning five green jackets and recording a total of 14 top-10 finishes at the Masters. However, he has been extremely inconsistent since claiming his 82nd career victory at the Zozo Championship last year, finishing outside the top 40 six times in his last seven starts on the PGA Tour.
Woods missed the cut at the U.S. Open in September and followed that up with a T72 performance at the Zozo Championship in October. Woods has appeared in just two tournaments in the new PGA Tour season, and his inconsistent performances can be directly attributed to his inability to find greens in regulation.
The 44-year-old enters the Masters ranked 223rd on tour in greens in regulation percentage (61.11), which doesn't bode well for his chances to repeat as champion. He's not a strong pick to win it all and there are far better values in the Masters Tournament 2020 field.
Another surprise: Webb Simpson, a 33-1 long shot, makes a strong run at the title. He has a much better chance to win it all than his odds imply, so he's a target for anyone looking for a huge payday. He enters the Masters 2020 hitting 68.90 percent of fairways off the tee, which ranks 19th on the PGA Tour. His ability to consistently find the fairway allows Simpson to be aggressive with his iron shots, which leads to more makeable birdie putts.
Simpson has already racked up 54 birdies in 12 rounds this season, which equates to an average of 4.5 per round. He also ranks 10th on the PGA Tour in scoring average (69.221). In addition, Simpson has proven he has what it takes to compete at Augusta National, shooting 11-under par at the Masters a year ago en route to a fifth-place finish. Those impressive stats, plus his long odds, make him a strong play for your 2020 Masters bets, according to the model.
How to make 2020 Masters picks
Also, the model is targeting three other golfers with odds of 25-1 or higher to make a strong run at the title. Anyone who backs these underdogs could hit it big. You can only see them here.
