Sports Betting News and Best Bets from Sportsbet Magazine’s Top Rated Sports Handicapper. It’s the most exciting time of the year in golf as the World’s best and previous champions head to Augusta National for the 2019 edition of The Masters. This is the week of the year everyone is a golf pro and have solid opinions on who will raise the trophy on Championship Sunday, Scorecast has simulated the event and highlighted some key trends in the past decade.
First time winners trending at Augusta.
Of the 82 Masters that have been played, more than half (47) have been won by players with multiple victories at Augusta National, including eight with at least three triumphs at the season’s first major. There are plenty of reasons for the phenomenal statistic, but the most logical explanation is experience.
The Masters is the only major played at the same venue each year and players pride themselves on learning every blade of grass of Augusta National Golf Club.
“You see the same place over and over and build up good vibes and you remember the good shots,” said Bubba Watson, the most recent repeat champion with victories in 2012 and ’14. “We get to see the history year after year. At other events your game has to travel to different venues. There’s also something to be said for the relatively small field for the Masters (which is currently at 87 players), and the lifetime exemption to previous champions that allows for a career full of institutional knowledge and a connection to the venue that is borderline spiritual for some.
Given the track record of former champions, from Jack Nicklaus’ six victories to Ben Crenshaw’s two, it’s easy to see why the accomplished have such an affinity for the place. But that trend has been slowed in recent years.
Patrick Reed’s victory last year was the fourth consecutive for a first-time winner, the most consecutive Champions since 1971. Another victory this year by a first-timer would officially turn a curious trend into a movement, as it would match the longest drought for former champions in tournament history.
That isn’t just possible, it’s likely if the current betting odds are any guide. Just two former champions, Woods and Jordan Spieth, are among this week’s top 12 favorites and there’s not a single former champion among the top 10 players in the Official World Golf Ranking.
Some simply chalk this up to the perceived depth of golf at the moment and a trend toward younger champions who no longer need a few years of seasoning before they emerge as world-beaters.
