It was five months ago, to be exact. The scheduling cancellations, postponements and quirks caused by the coronavirus pandemic have been mostly negative, but this one is a major positive.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest betting event in golf is making a quick comeback, and no one is complaining.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s not a lot of buzz around Johnson, which is odd considering his 20-under-par score blew away the field in November and he\u2019s returning to Augusta National as the 9\/1 favorite. At BetMGM, Johnson is the only player listed at single-digit odds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDJ\u2019s odds have been so low for so long, and he has been out of form, so most people have been shying away from him,\u201d Westgate SuperBook golf oddsmaker Jeff Sherman said.<\/p>\n<p>Johnson is not forgotten, but he has not found the winner\u2019s circle since the day Tiger Woods, the 2019 Masters champion, handed him his first green jacket.<\/p>\n<p>Woods is obviously missing this week while recovering from serious injuries sustained in a car wreck in late February, yet the absence of the sport\u2019s biggest star is not hurting the wagering handle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s already great. Our handle is actually higher than it\u2019s ever been leading into Masters week,\u201d DraftKings sportsbook director John Avello said. \u201cTiger draws money regardless of what his odds are and how he\u2019s playing. If it wasn\u2019t for Tiger, I don\u2019t think golf betting would be where it is today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Even without Woods, golf betting is thriving due to high-profile stars such as Johnson and several young guns who pack the potential firepower to win the year\u2019s first major. Few other sports present opportunities to hit a winning ticket at long-shot odds on a weekly basis.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCashing a ticket is not easy,\u201d Avello said.<\/p>\n<p>And playing the favorite in an elite 88-player field is seldom advised. Take a shot at beating the favorite, so look past Johnson and consider these five players at longer odds:<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Jordan_Spieth_111\"><\/span>Jordan Spieth (11\/1)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In early February, when Spieth started showing signs of finding his lost <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>, his Masters odds were soaring as high as 60\/1. He\u2019s finally all the way back, stopping a four-year winless streak Sunday at the Texas Open in San Antonio. The odds are no longer a bargain, but the 2015 Masters champion figures to be in the hunt on a course that fits him like a glove.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSpieth is getting a good share of the money,\u201d Avello said.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" alt=\"Jordan Spieth\" class=\"wp-image-13936435 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/06\/1153278157.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=300 300w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/06\/1153278157.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=640 640w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/06\/1153278157.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1280 1280w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/06\/1153278157.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/06\/1153278157.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2000 2000w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Jordan Spieth<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Justin_Thomas_111\"><\/span>Justin Thomas (11\/1)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Driving distance is imperative at Augusta, where shorter hitters off the tee are at a distinct disadvantage. Thomas is long off the tee, and his precision iron play is about as good as it gets on the PGA Tour. He leads the tour in putting average this season and there are few flaws in his all-around game, which was strong enough to win the Players Championship in Florida in mid-March.<\/p>\n<p>In 2018, Thomas tied for 17th at Augusta at four-under. When Woods won the following year, Thomas tied for 12th at eight-under. Last year, he finished fourth at 12-under, eight strokes behind Johnson.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery year, he has been a little better,\u201d golf handic<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>er Jeff Sealey said. \u201cEverything is trending the right way for JT. I think the price is appropriate. It\u2019s not really great value at these odds, but I\u2019ll bet him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the group of short-priced players behind Johnson, Spieth and Thomas appear to have more momentum than Jon Rahm (11\/1), Bryson DeChambeau (11\/1) and Rory McIlroy (18\/1).<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Brooks_Koepka_251\"><\/span>Brooks Koepka (25\/1)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The four-time major champion is getting odds as high as 40\/1 at Circa Sports, mostly because of questions surrounding surgery on his right knee March 16. Still, Koepka arrived in Augusta this week saying he intends to contend. Sealey\u2019s math model projects Koepka as the most likely winner.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI take into account short-term form, long-term form, course history and course fit,\u201d Sealey said. \u201cI looked at the results and Koepka is No. 1. But [the model] does not account for the injury factor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Koepka\u2019s win in Phoenix on Feb. 7 was his first since the 2019 PGA Championship at Bethpage Black.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to play Koepka, but I\u2019m worried about his health,\u201d VSiN golf handicapper Brady Kannon said. \u201cI might take a shot with him. If he\u2019s 90 percent, he could win it.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cameron_Smith_401\"><\/span>Cameron Smith (40\/1)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The 27-year-old Australian has course history in his corner. Smith tied for second, five strokes behind Johnson, in November. He also tied for fifth in 2018. Sharp money has shown on Smith since his odds recently reached a peak of 70\/1.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adam_Scott_651\"><\/span>Adam Scott (65\/1)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Another Aussie who excels at Augusta is Scott, the Masters winner in 2013. Scott ranks in the tour\u2019s top 20 in driving distance \u2014 DeChambeau ranks first \u2014 and should make a run for the money if his putter gets hot.\n            <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
