Odds to finish at least Top 5 at the 2023 Masters

As sad as it can be when NCAA March Madness simmers out, it means things The Masters is on the cusp.

As the first major of the season (and the only one to be annually held at the same course since 1934), winning here can cement the legacy of any golfer: Just ask Jack Nicklaus (six-time event winner) or Tiger Woods (five-time winner).

Being that golf is a field sport, you don’t necessarily need to scope out the outright winner to bring back plus-money profits. As any golf bettor knows, playing markets such as “Top 5 Finisher” can return money at valuable rates while casting a pool five times as large.

Prior to making a Top 5 wager, remember DraftKings’ ties/dead heat rule: If a golfer is tied for a finishing position, the stake is cut by how many other golfers are tied for those spots. Simply, if your selection ends up tied for 5th (assuming you had him/her to finish Top 5) with two other golfers, you will be paid back at a prorated fraction of the full amount.
