With that in mind, we will get a chance to watch and wager on the best golfers in the world vying for the green jacket.

For this week’s Masters tournament, let’s take a look at the course preview, best odds for the tournament, our favorite PGA betting picks, top golf betting apps to wager on, and more.

The Masters Course Preview – Augusta National

One of the most prestigious places in the entire sporting world is Augusta National, home of the Masters tournament each and every year. Here’s a look at the course and club, which is famous for many rich traditions in the sport of golf.

 

The great Augusta National was founded by the legendary Bobby Jones, and opened in the winter of 1932. Since then, it has been home to one of the most exclusive golf clubs in the world, and home of the Masters each and every year. 1934 was the first year the Masters was played, and every one since then has taken place once a year in April, with the exception of last year. Augusta National is one of the few holes that has names for each course, and they are household names for many golf fans. With names like Magnolia (fifth hole), Redbud (16), and the popular Golden Bell (12), Augusta is a treat. Here’s some facts and features of the course.

• There will be fans at the 2021 Masters, per the Masters website.
• The Masters was originally called the “Augusta National Invitation Tournament”.
• Architect was Dr. Alister Mackenzie.
• Winner is awarded a trophy, medal, and a green jacket.
• Jack Nicklaus has won the most Masters at Augusta (6).
• The widest margin of victory was Tiger Woods in 1997, winning by 12 strokes.

Top PGA Betting Apps for the Masters

Betting on golf is a different type of sports betting. Normally, most sports are surrounded around a given score or game’s final result. While golf betting certainly includes the final result, there isn’t a spread or total, per se. There is a straight futures pick market that makes up for the bulk of the golf betting market. This means that picking the best sportsbook is even more important, as prices matter more so when it comes to wagering on golf. With long shots being +700 or more for nearly all tournaments, the price differences between golfers will help you have a higher chance of being a profitable bettor long-term.

Here’s a look at our favorite legal sportsbooks to wager on the PGA.
