2021 Masters Picks: Top six prop bets

By | April 6, 2021

Prop bets are a ton of fun to wager on and give us some side action other than just betting outrights to win it all. The Masters is always a spectacle, and there are a ton of prop bets available. I’ve gone through them all and present you with my favorites, as well as some picks. 

One is more about just being fun to root for (and likely isn’t a bet you want to risk a lot on), while others might be worth slightly larger wagers.

Will There Be A Hole-In-One In The Final Round (Yes +125, BetMGM)

Here’s a fun bet to root for. I know this sounds crazy, but a hole-in-one has happened many times at the Masters, especially on Hole 16. In 2019, both Justin Thomas and Bryson DeChambeau holed aces on the par-3, 16th hole. The pin placement will be nice come Sunday, so I like the plus-money wager here.

Best Head-to-Head Matchup Play

John Rahm (-129) vs. Rory McIlroy Round 1 (Tie no bet)

Rahm is going to be there come Sunday, whereas I’m off of Rory this weekend. With McIlroy being one of my favorite fades for this event, I like Rahm in this spot. I’d be willing to pay a little juice here to get the “tie no bet” in case it happens.

Jordan Spieth Top-10 (+125)

Not a juicy number here, but this seems like a “safe” bet to me. There is no one more in the zone coming into this tournament. Spieth is on fire when it comes to the key metrics, and he has had plenty of success at Augusta in the past. He will be in contention come Sunday, but it’s just hard to win tournaments in consecutive weeks. At plus-money, I like the value here.

Leader after Round 1: Jordan Spieth (+1800) & Patrick Reed (+3300)

For the same reasons mentioned above, I love Spieth in this spot here to lead afte Round 1. I also think 33-1 odds on a former champ in Reed is worth a sprinkle.

Top English Player: Matthew Fitzpatrick (+400)

I think Fitzpatrick has a real chance to win it all this weekend, so I love the price. He is playing great golf, and his “Strokes Gained: Total numbers” are terrific. He should be able to take down the rest of his fellow Englishmen this week.

There you have it, folks. Good luck this weekend!
