Major Golf has arrived in 2025. There’s nothing else like it. The anticipation of a major golf tournament is unrivaled in many ways. Over the next few months, we get at least 4 guaranteed get-out-of-any-plans cards...including hikes, farmers markets, and berry picking (though gotta admit, when no sports are on, I enjoy both because of the food, I'm telling ya boys, win-win!).

It all starts with The Masters this weekend. Many hold it highest among the majors, but if I’m ranking them, they’re coming for me with pitchforks.

The Open
U.S. Open
Masters
PGA Champ

Yep, I’m here for all the hysteria over the list. I would appreciate the respect for this dude’s preferences. My goal is to go to The Open in person. Every course is just so historic, and it’s where golf all started... I mean how can you not get all nostalgic and goosebumps over it?

Today though...this week, is all about The Masters. Still, for me, a top 10 sporting event on the calendar. To me, the beauty of golf is you can have a few guys in your camp... you know the ones you pull for each week. This is crucially needed, as not everyone tees off weekly, and you need that investment to tune in for.

So to start off, I’ll give you my Fab 5...do with it what you want. Following that, we can look at some of the best bets to win it all.

2 MAJORS(1 Masters)

HM: Collin Morikawa, Max Homa, & Jordan Spieth

Those are my guys. It doesn’t mean I don’t like anyone else, but in order, those are who I want to see put on the green jacket if I was given the chance to choose. That is my list. Just deal with it! Also... Please...no questions on this either.

Let’s get into the real meat & taters though...the betting odds. Who are the sure shots, the well-could-be, and total long shots!

Whether a bettor or not, it's time to enjoy the next four days...as we get to sit back on the couch while text-arguing with friends on who would shoot better at Augusta and what lead you could hold on a Sunday... if you started on the green each time, of course.

Let’s have ourselves a Masters.
