Best Bets at the 2020 Masters Golf Tournament

The 2020 Masters golf tournament is set to start. Rain and scattered showers will greet the players for Thursday’s opening round, but unfortunately the sounds and roars from fans and spectators that accompany golfs most popular tournament won’t be part of the major event due to continued COVID-19 restrictions.

I’ve covered the 2020 Masters for a number of media outlets, including Catena Media and TheLines, Forbes, Offshore Gaming Association and others. You can check out my updates and information you can bet on below for the 2020 Masters.

I also spoke with and corresponded with a number of sportsbook directors for leading sportsbooks.
