Early this week, additional options were made available. These include tournament placings, group and matchup betting, and round-by-round leaders. Tournament props will be released for things like whether or not there’ll be a hole-in-one or a playoff.
Shortly after the green jacket is awarded Sunday afternoon, futures odds for the 2021 Masters Tournament will be posted.
The course: Augusta National Golf Club
The most famous golf course in America and the only annual host of a PGA Tour major, Augusta National has been prepped and altered to play to its usual standard during the first fall Masters.
ANGC measures 7,475 yards and plays to a par of 72. Elevation ranges from 160-310 feet with sometimes severe undulation forcing golfers into some creative shots even from the middle of the fairways.
The Bentgrass greens are well known as the most challenging putting surfaces in all of golf. They’re multi-tiered and feature mind-bending, sweeping breaks. They’ll also play exceptionally quick and competitors can quickly see the tournament slip away by having their ball roll off the false fronts.
Water is a prominent hazard on the back nine. Nos. 11, 12, 13, 15 and 16 all feature water along the fairway and/or green. The rest of the course is guarded by tight tree lines and well-positioned greenside bunkers.
Tiger Woods Betting Promotion

2020 Masters: Key stats
Experience has been far more important at Augusta National than any other PGA Tour venue. No one has won here in their first appearance since Fuzzy Zoeller in 1979. The only other two to do so were Horton Smith and Gene Sarazen in the first two runnings of the tournament.
Putting is the most important skill. While extremely difficult to predict success on a tournament-by-tournament basis, Strokes Gained: Putting over a large sample and 3-Putt Avoidance need to be in your stat model. Success on Bentgrass, in particular, is important. Strokes Gained: Around-the-Green should also be considered.
Par 4 Efficiency: 450-500 Yards is next. Of the six holes to play below par last year, four of them were the four par 5s. Only the 350-yard third had an average score below par among the par 4s. Playing the par 4s even par for the week is a success.

PGA Viewership Is Up
The PGA Tour is one of the most popular sporting events in America. Prior to the interruptions caused by the COVID-19 crisis, the PGA Tour was experiencing a boom across all channels.

According to the PGA, in 2019, the PGA Tour attracted more than 3 million fans to their 46 official tournaments.

Other Sports Who List Betting Odds on Their Websites
The PGA joins the National Football League in partnering with online sportsbooks to list odds on their official league website and mobile applications. Several NFL teams have signed deals with sportsbooks, typically as state laws go into effect to legalize sports betting online. For example, last October, the Philadelphia Eagles announced a partnership with DraftKings. Other NFL teams have signed deals with sportsbooks over the last 12 months.
The National Hockey League lists sports betting odds on their website in conjunction with their partnership with BetMGM, listed as “an official sports betting partner.” NHL.com shows the Money Line, Over/Under, and the Puck Line, which is always set to 1.5 (serving as the game point spread).

Could The NBA And MLB Be Next?
Pga Tour Players List
The NBA and Major League Baseball are notable in that they do not offer sports betting odds on their websites. However, each league has its eyes on the sportsbook industry and they have their toes in the water in different ways.
The NBA was the first professional league to launch a virtual reality sports betting game and at least two MLB teams: the Chicago Cubs and Washington Nationals, have official sports betting partners who will operate near their ballparks or within the confines of their ballparks.
NBA commissioner Adam Silver has suggested that sportsbooks should pay a “royalty” to the NBA for betting on their games, and MLB has partnerships with fantasy sports companies.
