Odds: 32.0 Last five Masters: 2/mc/mc/mc/- A 600.0 outsider when winning the 2010 Open, Oosthuizen is now firmly established amongst the leading candidates for all big prizes. THE PLAYERS Championship odds. Dustin Johnson unsurprisingly opened the week as the favorite at top US sportsbooks. DJ was +1200 at DraftKings as of Monday morning. He was followed on the odds board by Bryson DeChambeau (+1500), Rory McIlroy (1600), Jon Rahm (+1600) and Xander Schauffele (+2000).
Sunday was a crazy day for holes-in-one at the Masters. First there was Shane Lowry and Davis Love III, who made two aces in the space of three groups early in the day, then former Masters runner-up Louis Oosthuizen came along later in the day and made one himself. It wasn’t an ordinary one, though: with his playing partner J.B. Holmes’ shot just a foot or so away, Oosthuizen’s ball deflected off Holmes’ and bounced into the hole.
Had both balls gone in, Oosthuizen’s would have counted but Holmes’ wouldn’t have.

The 2021 Masters is scheduled for Thursday, April 8 from Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia and bettors can start placing wagers on the first major of the 2021 golf season.
Dustin Johnson is the the defending champion and while repeats at Augusta aren't easy, oddsmakers expect him to pull off the feat next April.
Johnson is currently a +700 betting favorite (Bet $100 to win $7000) to win the 2021 Masters.
He ran away from the field in the 2020 event with a dominating 20-under 268 performance, shooting under par (72) in all four rounds.
Make a note that we haven't seen a repeat winner at the Masters since 2002 when Tiger Woods won back-to-back championships.
Right behind DJ are six golfers priced between 11/1 and 18/1. Only one of those golfers has ever won the Masters, with Jordan Spieth doing so in the 2015 installment.
In that mix is Bryson Dechambeau (10/1), who was the 2020 betting favorite and he finished tied for 34th place at 2-under, 18 strokes behind Johnson.
Tiger Woods was taken off this futures market after the golfer was involved in a single vehicle roll-over traffic collision in California on Feb. 23, 2021.
His status was uncertain for this year's event due to lingering injury issues but he was still listed as a 31/1 betting choice prior to the incident.

Betting on the Masters has produced great returns for golf bettors historically and the last five years have been no different.
Even though Johnson was considerd a top contender in 2020 at +850 odds, Tiger Woods and the three previous winners in the last five years all had a generous return.
Prior to Woods winning in 2019 at 14/1 odds, Patrick Reed cashed as a 50/1 choice in 2018.
Including the win by DJ in 2020, a United States golfer has captured the green jacket the last three years.
The last time we've seen a winning streak of four or more wins by Americans came between 2004 and 2007.
The last two international golfers to win the Masters were Sergio Garcia (30/1) and Danny Willett (50/1), doing so in 2017 and 2016 respectively.
