with chances to win the 2025 masters After being posted immediately after the 2024 masters were completed, these numbers have lit sports betting in the face for almost a year.

I always find myself looking occasionally, every year, to see if anything with juicy differs. However, last January, however, I did actions for the first time on this special masters tour.

it Was Our first column of the new seasonStarting from 2025 with Sentry to Capalua plantation course In Maui, that I went down to Hideki Matsuyama to 22-1. During that weekend, the man who followed him was Collin Morikawa. Matsuyama of course, already has a green jacket and I was aware of the success of Morikawa in Augusta National (5-10-3 in its last three trips). Knowing that anyone who won the Sentry would see their lord chances, I played MEASURED to win masters on 25-1 and Morikawa on 22-1 Saturday night before the last round in Maui.

I did the same thing in 2022 with Cam Smith. He ended up winning in Hawaii and found himself in the last Sunday pairing in Augusta with Scottie Scheffler, just to finish ending up to the fifth.

The link between the success in the Maui plantation course and the success in the masters is a strong very strong. PGA Tour has played the event in Maui to start the 27 times season. Ten of those 27 shifts were acquired by a master’s (37 percent) champion.

The success of the intersection between Augusta National and Riviera Country Club is also extremely strong. Matsuyama won Genesis Invitational in 2024. The last three Morikawa trips resulted in the 19th, sixth and runner.

Since 1990, Riviera Country Club has been waiting for La Open (GENESIS Invitational) 35 times. During that extension, the tournament was won 16 times by a master’s (46 percent) champion.

The last part of this strange triangle of love is Old course in St. Andrews. Linking here with masters is surprising strong too – and it may make more sense because Bobby Jones and Alister Mackezie drew a lot of influence from St. Andrews when designed Augusta National.

Since 1970, the open championship has been held 10 times in St. Andrews. Six of those 10 were won by a Masters Champion and in 2022 it was won by the aforementioned Cam Smith. In 2015, Louis Oosthuizen won Open in St. Andrews after being lost in a play off at Bubba Watson in Masters in 2012. That’s 60 percent, plus two other boys who approached so close as someone can get to slide into a green jacket.

In 2015, Masters 2007 champion Zach Johnson won Open in St. Andrews. Let’s take a look at the top 10 in this year’s leadership: Johnson, Oosthuizen, Jordan Spieth, Jason Day, Sergio Garcia, Justin Rose, Danny Willett, Adam Scott and Brooks Koepka. What you have collected has five master’s wins, 19 Top-10 endings (including 10 endings of the Masters Runner-Up), three champions of Kapua and two wins on Riviera.

What about that steering chart from 2022? Smith, Rory Mcilroy, Tommy Fleetwood, Victor Hovland, Cameron Young, Bryson Dechambeau, Patrick Cantlay, Spieth and Dustin Johnson. This is two winners of the masters, 15 Top-10 conclusions (including two endings of the Masters Runner-Up), three wins in Kapalua, and a win in Riviera.

The connection to Morikawa and Matsuyama is not as contagious in St. Andrews as it is in Kapalua and Riviera. Morikawa lost the cut in the open championship in 2022 after winning at Royal St. George’s a year ago. Matsuyama has completed 18 and 68 in two opens in the old course.

Forward quickly to mid -February and I was about to make my third next bet “to win the masters”. This time I went down to the Englishman, Tommy Fleetwood at 50-1. He does not have enough interconnected history of the Matsuyama and Morikawa course but his resume is building in the right direction. Fleetwood was the fourth in St. Andrew in 2022, he completed 20 and 10 on Riviera, and his masters record continues to become better progressively. He has played in the tours eight times. He lost the cut in his debut in 2017. He will not yet lose a cut from and has top-20 conclusions of 17-19-and-14 along the way. Last year was his best attempt in Augusta when he finished third. He is at a great start this season with the 22-5-11-14-16 endings.

It was also about this time that I began to handle the 2025 golf events. I started in Australia and then went down to Sergio Garcia three weeks later in Hong Kong. I noticed Brooks koepka Finishing the race in Singapore and I did another run in the window, supporting the five-time main champion and dual masters race, by this time, win at 35-1. Koepka ended up to third place in Kapalua and was 10th in St. Andrew in 2015. In four attempts, he never had great success in Riviera, twice losing cutting. Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus never won in Riviera.

The last game I currently have in my pocket is a long shot. A triple digit price at 100-1, and this may not be high enough. I have seen up to 150-1, and this is on Cameron Young. He has lost the cut in four of his last five beginnings this season. This is not a good look for the candidate seven times to finally take on his first PGA Tour victory. But he has been extraordinary in our interconnected courses. Like Fleetwood, Young lost cutting in the Masters in his debut in 2022. He has since finished seventh and ninth place. He completed the Cam Smith race in St. Andrews in 2022, he was eighth in January in Sentry, and in Riviera, Young ended the 20th, 16th, and the competitor.

Five games in total as we sit two weeks away from the first TEE ball that is hitting in what will be the 89th edition of the Masters Tournament. I feel great for four out of five. Game in Young is a shot in the dark. I will surely add one or two other shows before starting – we will see.

When you decide the future of your masters to play together, keep in mind that this tour tend to be gained from favorites and contenders rather than longshots. We have not had anyone to win in triple-digit chances since Charl Schwartzel in 2011.
