Masters 2023: Cameron Young Betting Preview, Odds, Picks & Predictions

by BettingPros Staff |
Apr 02, 2023

It's Masters week, the unofficial start of golf season â€” at least for those of us in the northern parts of the country.

The Masters is the first major of the golf season and arguably the best. Augusta National is a special place â€” a visually stunning course that tests the mettle of the best players in the world. Augusta requires precision approach shots and a deft touch on pitches and chips. Its lightning-fast greens can make even the best putters in the world look like amateurs.

Scottie Scheffler, the No. 1 player in the world, won his first major at Augusta last year and is among the betting favorites this week, along with Rory McIlroy and Jon Rahm.

As if the world's greatest golfers taking on arguably the world's greatest course wasn't enough, we get some extra spice with some of the prodigal sons of the LIV Tour joining their former colleagues in this week's field. Players in the Saudi-backed LIV Tour have been banned from playing in PGA Tour events, but they are welcome at Augusta, which means we'll see former Masters champs Dustin Johnson, Patrick Reed, Sergio Garcia, Bubba Watson and Phil Mickelson.

Welcome to the second annual BettingPros Guide to The Masters. We're going to drill down on the many wagering opportunities this tournament presents. We'll take a closer look at the golfers with the best chances of earning the coveted Green Jacket. We'll examine which bets look like sucker plays and which bets provide better value than a $1.50 pimento cheese sandwich at an Augusta concessions tent.

Cameron Young Course History

We haven't seen much of Cameron Young at Augusta National. He performed poorly during his only previous appearance in 2022, going +10 across the first two rounds to wind up missing the cut. Expect Young to look much sharper in 2023, especially coming off of his recent runner-up finish at the WGC Match Play event. Young's powerful driver and hitting over 68 percent of greens in regulation are two skills that will set him up for success on a difficult course during his second appearance in 2023.

Cameron Young Recent Form

Young has been strong since mid-February, logging a T20 finish at Genesis and a T10 finish at The Arnold Palmer Invitational. He did stray above par twice at The Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass, which dropped him down to a T51 finish, but a strong effort throughout the Match Play event should create enough confidence for him to make the cut at Augusta once Friday's second round concludes.

Cameron Young Betting Outlook

Young is currently getting 33/1 odds at BetMGM, which is the best value we'll land for his outright betting outlook. As tempting as it may be to lay a wager on this number, which is dripping in value compared to other blue-chip prospects like Scottie Scheffler, Jon Rahm, and Rory McIlroy, it doesn't seem like Young can ascend the leaderboard and maintain a lead in such a star-studded field. I'd instead look at a T10 or T20 finish for Young, which still carries plus odds due to missing the cut at +10 in his debut last season.

Pick: Cameron Young to finish Top-10 (+260 at DraftKings)
