Brooks Koepka +1800 to Win
Brooks Koepka was a defection name PGA fans did not want to hear called. That said, Koepka haters listen up as the world's No. 31 is coming off a stormy weekend in Miami. Koepka shot a plus-seven overall, while his Smash GC was seventh as a team.
Koepka is no stranger to Augusta, with eight appearances at The Masters. He's still chasing that elusive green jacket after taking second place in 2019 and does have three T10 finishes.
The move to LIV, coupled with missing the cut in 2021 and 2022 at The Masters, gives credence to being cautious. On the other hand, Big Game Brooks shows up for the spotlight with five Majors on his mantle. Only Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson have more.
Koepka is ranked 13th in greens in regulation this LIV season and T11 in birdies, so he still holds his own. Brooks certainly has a shot at finally winning here, but the competition is stiff. That said, I like his chances in a 72-hole match bet with Jordan Spieth. While Spieth has three top tens this year, he has already shown some meltdown rounds and moments with two missed cuts.
Best Bet: Koepka over Spieth in 72 Hole Matchbet: +100
