Masters 2022: Best Prop Bet Picks, Odds & Predictions
The wait is finally over as Augusta’s first tee-off is just hours away. While all eyes will be on Tiger Woods following his most recent year-plus layoff, the value to be had will be found elsewhere.
Let’s look at two props I’ve keyed in on ahead of this year’s edition of the tradition unlike any other.
- Round 1 Head-to-Head Best Bets
- Best Make or Miss Cuts Odds & Bets

Top-20 Finish
Brooks Koepka (-125 on DraftKings Sportsbook)
It doesn’t just seem like Koepka is always in contention in majors; he is. Of his eight career wins on the PGA Tour, 50% have come at majors, with only the British and the Masters still eluding him.
Looking back over his Masters runs, before a missed cut last year in a season where he could never stay healthy, Koepka finished no worse than T33 in the event with two top 10s (2019, 2020). In the 2019 edition, Koepka finished T2 behind none other than the GOAT (Tiger) himself, shooting an opening-round 61 to take an early lead.
Starting this season off rocky, Koepka comes into the weeks having fired off three top 20s in his past five events, including a T5 last week in the stacked field that was the WGC-Dell Match Play event.
Still, one of the best on Tour off the tee (#5 in driving distance), if Koepka’s putter can get even remotely hot this week, he always has a chance on golf’s biggest stages. I like for a return to 2019 form for Koepka this week and for his name to be lurking near the top of the leaderboard throughout the weekend.
Top-10 Finish
Justin Thomas (+130 on DraftKings Sportsbook)
These are relatively short odds for a guy just to make the top 10, but JT’s history here at Augusta and have given me a double-take. And I’ve bit.
Over his past five appearances at Augusta, JT has finished no worse than T22, with a T4 here in 2020. And his game has only improved since. As of this week, Thomas is currently top five on Tour in SG: Tee-to-Green, SG: Approach, and SG: Total, as his iron play has ascended to the top of the sport.
Throw in six top 10s in his last 10 events played coming into the week, and Thomas should be right at the top of the board come Sunday afternoon in Augusta.
