It's Masters week, which means we'll once again have the pleasure of watching the best golfers in the world take on the greatest golf course in the world, Augusta National.

Augusta is golf paradise, a stunning, immaculately groomed beauty that's home to some of the most iconic holes on the planet, including the par-3 12th and the par-5 13th. No other course tests a player's course-management skills and short game quite like Augusta.

This year's tournament has no shortage of compelling storylines. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler is trying to extend his recent run of dominance and win his second Green Jacket. Young stars such as Xander Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay are hoping to break through and win at Augusta for the first time. The stars of the LIV Tour - including defending champion Jon Rahm and past champs Dustin Johnson and Patrick Reed - will once again compete with their PGA Tour counterparts.

Welcome to the third annual BettingPros Guide to The Masters. We're going to examine the many wagering opportunities this tournament presents, taking a closer look at the golfers with the best chances of earning the coveted Green Jacket. Which players provide betting value and which are bad bets? Sit back and read on.

Course History

Xander Schauffele has enjoyed plenty of success at Augusta National, but he's never been able to bag an outright victory at the Masters. Aside from missing a cut in 2022 and finishing 50th in his debut outing in 2018, the 30-year-old has always placed inside the top 20 over six career appearances.

Recent Form

The 2024 campaign is off to a great start for Schauffele, littered with top-10 finishes. The American has four top-five finishes, including two straight top-five performances at the PLAYERS Championship and the Valspar Championship, more recently. However, Schauffele is still looking for his first win of the season, and he hasn't hoisted a trophy since the 2022 Scottish Open.

Betting Outlook

I won't be locking in an outright winner bet on Schauffele solely because tournament wins have evaded him since July 2022. However, if youâ€™re willing to lay the juice, he makes a great candidate to place inside the top-20 (-165 via DraftKings). Four of Schauffele's six appearances at the Masters have seen him secure a top-20 finish.
