Expert | Winner
Ryan O’Sullivan | Jordan Spieth

Ryan O’ Sullivan of Yahoo! Sports has made his pick and it is Jordan Spieth who he believes will win the Masters this week. The two-time major winner knows his way around the Augusta course as evidenced by his emphatic victory here in 2015. Spieth also has two other runner-up finishes in this tournament. Look for Spieth to make amends and be in the prowl once again this coming weekend. His odds of winning the Masters Tournament are priced at +650.

Alex Myers | Jordan Spieth

Golf Digest’s Alex Myers is another expert who’s backing Spieth to take home the title this weekend. Spieth, according to Myers, is a stud when it comes to this tournament (2-1-2 in his last three starts) and his familiarity with this golf course will be a major weapon for him this week. Spieth’s game is a perfect fit for Augusta National and it isn’t far-fetched to see the Texan win another green jacket this week.

Sam Belden | Dustin Johnson

Sam Belden has made his choice and it is Dustin Johnson who he thinks will win the Masters this week. Johnson has been playing some terrific golf of late, nabbing victories in each of his last three starts. The reigning US Open champion now heads into Augusta, where he finished tied for fourth last year. With Johnson playing some of the best golf of his life, expect the world no. 1 to be in the hunt once again this coming weekend. He is pegged at +550 to win the coveted green jacket this week.

Expert | Winner
Tim Keeney | Dustin Johnson

Tim Keeney is another expert who’s jumping on the Dustin Johnson bandwagon. Keeney alludes to the fact that Johnson’s golf game is the complete package right now. Not only is Johnson the Tour’s longest hitter (316.2 yards per drive), but he has also made huge strides with his iron play (11th on Tour in strokes gained approaching the green, second in GIR percentage) and his putter (31st in strokes gained via putting). Johnson’s definitely the man to beat this week.
