Doc's 2019 Masters Betting Preview and Expert Tips.
The 2019 Masters Tournament is almost upon us and after many coffees and painstaking stats trawling here's my Betting Preview And Tips. Follow @golfcentraldoc
A big shout out to our Masters video sponsors North and West Coast Links. If you're coming to Ireland and want a itinerary to include all the top links courses like 2019 Open Championship Venue Royal Portrush, Ballyliffin, the guys at NorthAndWestCoastlinks.com are the best in the business and look after absolutely everything. Check them out.
Prices from the bookies are always on the conservative side for The Masters because they have their homework done to the nth degree for this event (over pretty much any other) and their algorithm has identified all the usual suspects. But what I will do is post a 2019 MASTERS LONG ODDS SHOTS video on the GolfCentralDaily Facebook page and on my GolfCentralDoc Twitter Profile early on Masters week.
Rory McIlroy is 7/1 in the betting and everything is pointing towards him winning his first green jacket at the 2019 Masters. But it's very rare that things turn out to plan at The Masters! Having said that Rory has never been outside the top-6 in strokeplay since the Tournament of Champions in January, he's coming in off a win at The Players, had that great battle with Tiger at the WGC Matchplay and seems to be finally getting his share of putts. Never outside the top 10 at The Masters since 2014 and the bookies believe this is his year. If you fancy that on the nose he's 7/1
Rahmbo has been knocking on the door this season but despite six top-10's he has yet to break through and win. It's only his third Masters but the improvement from T27 on his debut to solo 4th last year was impressive even when giving the field a head start with an opening 75! There's a massive Spanish tradition at The Masters with Seve, Ollie and Sergio and Jon Rahm is a winner in waiting. Whether it happens this year remains to be seen but he's definitely worth an each way shout.
There's a couple of conflicts at play here but Justin Rose still remains the most consistent Masters performer in recent years. Five consecutive top-15 finishes, twice T2 in the last four years, winner of the 2019 Farmers and T8 at The Players all suggest he's primed to contend again. More than anywhere the player-caddie relationship at the Masters is key and with regular caddie Fooch still recuperating from heart surgery, lets hope he lends Gareth Lord his Augusta yardage book!
Without really contending this year you get the feeling at Tiger Woods is building towards towards The Masters. His journey from injury and where his personal life was to claim the Tour Championship last season is for me one of the great comeback stories in golf and I'm convinced that fully fit he has another Masters win in him. Granted the last of his four wins was in 2005 but with nobody head and shoulders in world beating form at the moment, the stage is set for Tiger. Matching Rors shot for shot at the matchplay was the final bit of assurance I needed to convince me!
Second at Pebble, T3 in Mexico, winner at The Valspar…..Casey is a man in form, his GIR stats are stellar and if you heard him interviewed at the matchplay you'll know he's not short on confidence! Casey's Masters form from 2015 on is T6, T4, 6th, T15 and you have to think he can contend for a place. Can he win? The doubt for me is can he putt well enough to win a Major and every year he seems to throw in one poor round (2018-75, 2017-75, 2016-77).
With six top-20 finishes from his last seven starts Hideki is building a nice run of form again and impressed with a T8 at The Players. It's hard to believe that this is his eighth Masters and since 2015 he's gone 5th, T7, T11, 19th. One of the few players that brings a methodology to managing Augusta which, amidst all the calamity that lies in store, will stand him in good stead.
So there they are my 5 tips, I hope this all helps you to beat the bookies at The Masters. Thanks again to my Masters video sponsor NorthandWestCoastLinks.com, and also my site sponsors Bushnell, ClubstoHire and DruidsGolf.com for my gear. Check out their new Spring Summer collection its fab!

Doc's Top-5 Each Way 2019 Masters Bets
Jon Rahm 16/1

Justin Rose 14/1
There's a couple of conflicts at play here but Justin Rose still remains the most consistent Masters performer in recent years.

Tiger Woods 14/1

Paul Casey 28/1
Second at Pebble, T3 in Mexico, winner at The Valspar…..Casey is a man in form, his GIR stats are stellar and if you heard him interviewed at the matchplay you'll know he's not short on confidence! Casey's Masters form from 2015 on is T6, T4, 6th, T15 and you have to think he can contend for a place. Can he win?

Hideki Matsuyama 33/1
With six top-20 finishes from his last seven starts Hideki is building a nice run of form again and impressed with a T8 at The Players. It's hard to believe that this is his eighth Masters and since 2015 he's gone 5th, T7, T11, 19th. One of the few players that brings a methodology to managing Augusta which, amidst all the calamity that lies in store, will stand him in good stead.
