The Masters DFS and One and Done Preview

Published

April 10, 2024

So a little backstory here. Last year my wife asks if we can go to visit her daughter in Austin for Easter. Of course I say “yes” before I look at a calendar. In 2023 Easter Sunday was Masters Sunday. Our 3 hour flight took 7 hours due to a severe storm in Texas. That storm wreaked havoc on the schedule at Augusta. Yesterday we arrived in Austin. Last night there was a fast moving thunderstorm with golf ball sized hail. The storm should reach Augusta tomorrow morning. My apologies for once again impacting the event. On another note, since I’m in a jurisdiction that prohibits sports wagering, I won’t be offering any betting analysis. If I’m not going to bet it I’m not going to make any suggestions.

We all know Augusta. Pristine conditions. Par 72, 7500+ yards. A classic tree lined parkland course with only 44 bunkers. Water is in play on only 4 holes. The rough is almost non-existent Ryegrass. The greens are firm, heavily sloped and usually run 12′-15′ on the Stimpmeter. All of the greens at Augusta have SubAir. The players who excel at ANGC tend to hit the ball long off the tee and have good approach games, especially with their mid to long irons. If you miss the firm greens on approach you’ll have a difficult time getting up and down. Par 5 scoring is paramount.

Before taking a look at which of the 89 golfers stand out based on the above criteria, let’s take a deeper look at the weather and how it very well might affect the first major of 2024. The storm is relatively fast moving, but brutal with torrential rain and high winds. As of 6pm Augusta time, rain is expected beginning at 10pm this evening with thunderstorms coming in at 6am continuing until noon. Rain should taper off and be done by 2pm. Today in Austin we had heavy winds from the back end of the storm. The forecasted wind in Augusta following the end of the rain calls for a range of 16mph – 18mph with stronger gusts. The winds will diminish Friday morning but increase again as the day goes on. Saturday morning we should see relatively calm conditions. The sun will be shining starting Thursday afternoon thru the remainder of the event.

Now that was a lot of information about the weather, but it is insanely important this week as you consider who to use in your DFS lineups and One and Dones. Last year we saw ANGC be very proactive with respect to making decisions based on the weather. I would be shocked if they didn’t push the first round start time back to the afternoon. What this means is that the golfers in the AM/PM wave will see high winds but soft conditions on Thursday and potentially relatively benign winds if they finish their second rounds on Saturday morning. The PM/AM wave will play the majority of their first two rounds on Friday with high winds and greens that will have dried out due to both the wind and the SubAir systems under each putting surface.

We had an earthquake in the Northeast last week. I did not have that on the 2024 bingo card. There are two Masters’ competitors whose wives are both pregnant with due dates in the next one to three weeks. Scottie Scheffler and Sam Burns have both committed to walking off the course if their respective wife goes into labor. Trying to calculate the probability of labor at 33 to 35 weeks gestation was not on my DFS bingo card.

Taking all the above into account, I’ll be focusing on competitors who fit the criteria above, are in the AM/PM wave and are not expectant fathers. I’m also omitting both Min Woo Lee and Akshay Bhatia as both are dealing with recent injuries. The defending champion, Jon Rahm along with Rory McIlroy lead a pool of 9. The other 7 are Hideki Matsuyama, Tony Finau, Victor Hovland, Xander Schauffle, Patrick Cantlay, Will Zalatoris and Justin Thomas. Given the pricing on Draft Kings, the list expands to include Russell Henley, Taylor Moore and Stephan Jaeger.

My One and Done this week requires me to select two participants. I’ve previously used McIlroy and Finau. My selections are Rahm and Matsuyama. I’m running with Rahm, Matsuyama, Finau, Henley, Moore and Jaeger for a total salary of $49,500 in my weekly Draft Kings entries.

Good luck to all and enjoy the best tournament of the year. Don’t forget to follow us on X!

Hey there, ClickItGolf fam!

I’m the Sports Betting Babe, and I’m here to shake up your Sundays and sprinkle a little extra thrill on your tee times. I know most of the guys on here already love golf, but this one’s for the ladies, especially those of you who’ve been watching golf with your boyfriend or hubby and secretly thinking, “Wait, can I actually bet on this stuff?”

The answer is yes, you absolutely can and you should.

I’m going to make golf betting super easy to understand, a little sexy, and a whole lot of fun. You don’t need to be a pro or know who won the Ryder Cup in 1999. You just need to know how to make smart, simple bets and enjoy the ride.

Let’s Start with the Basics: How to Bet on Golf

Betting on golf is like picking your favorite brunch spot. You check the vibe, pick someone reliable, and hope it all works out. Here are the easiest ways to get started:

1. Pick the Winner (Outright)

This one’s like calling your shot. You’re betting on who will win the whole tournament. Odds are listed next to each golfer. For example, +1200 means a $10 bet would win you $120. Favorites are usually listed around +800 to +1400 and less favorites, or long shots, are usually +5000 and up. Big swings, big rewards.

2. Top 5 / Top 10 Finish

If you’re not ready to go all-in, no worries. These bets are like hedging your weekend plans – low commitment, still fun. Bet on a golfer to finish strong (in the top 5 or 10) instead of winning outright. It’s a safer bet, but still gives you a reason to cheer all weekend long.

3. Matchups

This one’s juicy. Sportsbooks will pit two golfers against each other, and you just pick which one finishes higher.

For example, if you see a matchup like Viktor Hovland vs. Tony Finau, and you think Viktor is trending hotter, bet on him to beat Tony. Even if neither of them wins, if Viktor finishes 8th and Tony finishes 9th, you win. It’s a simpler way to stay engaged without needing to track the entire tournament field because even if they’re not winning the tournament, you’re winning your bet. It’s low drama, high payoff.

Bonus? It’s a perfect way to gain low-key bragging rights during Sunday brunch.

4. Live Bets

Tournaments stretch over four days. That means the odds shift, players rise and fall, and you can jump in with bets mid-tourney. It’s like shopping sales in real time—see who’s hot in real time and grab the value before it’s gone.

Why Women Should Love Golf Betting

Golf is the perfect sport to ease into betting. It’s slow enough to follow, exciting enough to matter, and gives you tons of chances to win over the weekend. Plus, nothing gets a guy’s attention like a woman who casually drops, “I’ve got Rickie to finish top 10. Let’s go.”

You don’t need to know every stat or swing path. You just need to be curious, confident, and down to learn. The goal? Make betting approachable for women and show the guys we can hold our own.

Why I Love ClickItGolf

ClickItGolf is all about making golf more fun and accessible and I’m all about the same. Whether you’re here for gear deals, course perks, or just that perfect swing tip, this site is your clubhouse. Adding a little betting action into the mix? That’s just next-level fun.

So, ladies go grab your iced coffee, fire up the PGA app, and get ready to make golf weekends a lot more interesting.

See you on the green (and in the winner’s circle).

Hey ClickitGolf family,

I’m thrilled to introduce someone who’s about to shake up your sports weekends in the best way possible.

She’s smart, stylish, funny, and knows her way around a betting slip—please welcome The Sports Betting Babe to the ClickitGolf crew.

Now before you assume this is just another picks column or dry rundown of odds, let me stop you right there. The Sports Betting Babe is anything but ordinary. She’s not here to act like a Vegas oddsmaker or overwhelm you with stats. She’s here to make sports betting fun, flirty, and totally approachable—especially for the ladies.

So who is she?

She’s the kind of woman who can turn heads at a cocktail party in heels one night, then toss on a tee and jeans the next morning to watch a game on the couch with wings and a cold beer. She’s sharp, relatable, and yes she actually loves sports. Not the fake kind of “I’m just here for the vibes” love, but the “I scream at the TV when my parlay falls apart in the 4th quarter” kind of love.

She lives for big Sunday slates, nail-biter golf finishes, buzzer-beaters, and 9th-inning home runs.

But here’s the best part, her mission is to bring more women into the sports conversation, and she’s doing it through betting.

Betting… but make it fun and responsible

The Sports Betting Babe isn’t trying to be your gambling guru. She’s not claiming to have inside info on who’s winning the Masters or who’s hitting a triple-double tonight. What she is doing is giving you the tools, confidence, and attitude to get in the game and have a damn good time doing it.

She believes sports betting can be empowering. It’s a way to connect, to learn, and yes, to make Sunday brunch with your partner a little more competitive. She’s all about responsible fun, setting limits, understanding your bets, and never taking it too seriously.

More Than Just Golf

Yes, she’ll be writing about golf betting often (because we are ClickitGolf after all), but don’t be surprised when she drops takes on NFL Sundays, March Madness upsets, NHL playoff runs, and MLB long shots. She’s a cornucopia of sports knowledge, and she’s bringing it all to the table served with a smile and a wink.

Her First Article Drops Tomorrow

Her debut piece hits the site tomorrow:

It’s part pep talk, part how-to, and all personality. Whether you’ve never placed a bet in your life or you’ve been riding parlays for years, this one’s for you.
