Masters Odds 2017: Best Bets & Sleeper Picks at Augusta

Gary Woodland


Odds: 100/1


A lot of the players I've been focusing on have been ones who thrive in the short game, which makes sense considering Augusta's ridiculously difficult greens (both in terms of hitting and putting on), but Bubba Watson has (twice) shown that bombers can win at Augusta, so we don't want to completely ignore the big hitters.

Enter Woodland, who ranks 17th on Tour in driving distance. But not only that, he's pretty strong with his irons (30th in strokes gained approaching the green), he avoids mistakes well for a bomber (36th in bogey avoidance), and he's playing good golf this season with two runner-up finishes and four Top-10's.

It's unlikely his first win since 2013 comes at the Masters, but at 100-to-1, this is a risk worth gambling on. (Getty)
