Masters Preview with Tom Jacobs

In this episode, English golf betting expert Tom Jacobs and I preview The Masters: 2022's first major! We start by looking at new world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler! With three wins in 2022, Scheffler has vaulted to the No. 1 player heading into Augusta! Tom mentions how Ted Scott, who caddied for both of Bubba Watson's Masters wins, is with Scheffler. Jon Rahm may not be going into 2022's first major with momentum, but his major game is still a strong threat. We both like Rahm's chances with a strong putter. We also answer the question whether Rory Mcllroy can finally complete his Grand Slam with a Green Jacket. I explain how Augusta should fit Rory's game, but this course is more mentally challenging for him. Onto golf's biggest name, we look at the potential rumors of Tiger Woods of playing his first official golf tournament since the 2020 Masters. Tiger, himself, tweeted his plans over whether to play at Augusta. We then look at Augusta's two lengthened holes. The Par-4 11th is now 520 yards, and the Par-5 15th is now 550 yards. We both think the 11th hole will see a bigger change with the hole getting longer. Tom is intrigued by how the length will impact the Masters. We look at our favorite bets at the Masters. Tom likes Brooks Kopeka and Will Zalatoris. He also likes Bubba and Justin Rose. I really like Canada's Corey Conners' history at the Masters. I really like Joaquín Niemann, who won at Riviera - a course that is very similar to Augusta. We then give our picks for the Masters, Tom likes Scottie Scheffler to continue his strong form. I am picking Xander Schauffele to finally get his first major at the Masters.
