People forget Patrick Reed existed. The American golfer makes his 2025 debut at Augusta. Reed is one of those golfers that just lives and breathes the Augusta National Golf Club course. He has four Top 12 results in his last six appearances. Reed possesses one of the best short games heading into the event. Even last year, he was on the front page of the leaderboard for most of the weekend before he faltered ever so slightly Sunday. His Masters win over Rickie Fowler in 2018 was amazing. If anyone can recreate that form over a short four day event, it would be Reed. At +9000, he is worth at least a flier. He will be cheap from a DFS standpoint as well.

Tom Kim has been getting off to some bad starts opening tournaments. The South Korean golfer shot a 77 in Round 1 of the Valero Texas Open.. He could not recover well enough on Friday and missed his third cut of 2025. Kim does have three wins on the PGA Tour including twice at the Shriners Children's Open (2022 and 2023). The problem for the golfer is hitting errant shots off the tee and his putting compounds those errant shots. Kim ranks 123rd in strokes gained off the tee then 151st in strokes gained to putting. Those extra putts add up as Kim averages 29.03 putts per round (132nd on the tour). Worse, his scoring average has ballooned to a 70.97 mostly because of those slow starts. Tranquil weather may help Kim this week but then again, it may not.

While Tom Hoge has not won a tournament in 2025, he has enjoyed an excellent season. The American golfer has three Top 10 results and only one missed cut. Hoge nearly won The Players Championship but settled for T-3. At the Valero Texas Open, Hoge could not quite survive the chaotic Sunday, shot a 75, yet still ended up T-5. Hoge is the longest of long shots at +30000. Most expect him to not see the weekend, but he did finish T-39 in 2022. This is his third appearance at The Masters. There is expected to be little wind but the big question mark for Hoge will be off the tee. He ranks 171st in strokes gained at -0.513. If he can hit a little straighter, that will give him a few more birdie chances. Hoge could surprise a bit from a DFS standpoint at the least.

Harris English has enjoyed an interesting 2025 season. The American golfer survived on a chaotic Sunday to win the Farmers Insurance Open. It was his first win in more than four years. English has had a more bumpy road since then. However, he wound up T-30 at The Players Championship despite a third round 76. Furthermore, he slid into a Top 20 at the Texas Children's Houston Open (T-18) behind a final three days of 64,66, and 68. English will have to improve around the greens, as Augusta can be a beast even in the best of weather. He ranks 127th at -0.159 strokes gained when it comes to working around the greens. That 65.67% greens in regulation will be the key between contending and finishing outside the Top 20.

Nick Dunlap won a tournament as an amateur and professional last year. The young American golfer comes into the 2025 edition of The Mastery trying to make his first cut. He missed the cut last year after a two round score of 151. Dunlap has made six cuts and missed three in 2025. Also, he has one Top 10 result. Sometimes people forget he is only 21 and needs to work on that driver. Dunlap has been averaging 297.5 yards which is not horrible but that 48.68% accuracy ranks 183rd. At The Masters, he must keep balls on the fairway or maybe hit the driver less often. With the ups and downs of the PGA Tour, Dunlap has experienced more of both in his first full season. It may be better to watch what Dunlap does as opposed to utilizing him for DFS, betting, or fantasy golf this time around.

Jason Day has not had it easy since COVID. The Australian golfer has seen his world ranking rise into the Top 40 (36th). Day has a couple of Top 10 results in 2025 and not missed a single cut as well. Day may be 37 but he is golfing like he is 27. His best finish at The Masters is that runner-up in 2011. That was his debut. Since then, Day has two other Top 5 results. For awhile. Day looked like he might have to retire with several different injuries and issues. However, Day persevered and is enjoying one of his better seasons with a 69.98 scoring average (26th on tour). The chances of a Top 10 finish is decent enough to consider in the +450 to +500 range. With calmer weather, Day has a chance to not get too battered and make more birdies.

Keegan Bradley has made the cut at almost every edition of the Masters he has appeared in. The American golfer has seen the weekend eight times in eight events in 2025. However, Bradley does have only two top-10 results this season. At Augusta, Bradley has not seen a single top-20 result. That surprises some people. In 68 rounds, he has 11 under-par with a 73.1 scoring average. In 2025, Bradley has five top-25 results, but a big reason why he does not typically contend at the Masters is his putting. It holds him back sometimes despite his seven career wins. Again, that is the concern from a DFS standpoint. Bradley has never put even three or four good rounds together at this major. That is a big reason why he is plus-10,000 to win. Bradley is a fade this weekend.

Akshay Bhatia has been enjoying an interesting pattern over the last four events. The American golfer has done the following: Top 10, missed cut, Top 10, missed cut. Bhatia could be up for a solid performance that keeps DFS owners and bettors alike happy. Bhatia scored a T-3 at The Players Championship. That is a course which often gets viewed as a fifth major. Bhatia normally putts well but has shined in 2025 ranking 8th in strokes gained at 0.689. If that was not enough, the golfer often puts himself in contention averaging a mere 27.38 strokes per second round. It may rain early in the week but tranquil, warm conditions could help Bhatia. If he makes his putts, Bhatia at +6500 may be too long to win but a Top 10 at +400 may be a reasonable wager.

Min Woo Lee won the Texas Children's Houston Open two weeks ago and is now shifting his focus to preparing for this week's Masters Tournament at Augusta National. So far this season, he has only missed the cut in one of his 10 starts and has seven top-20 finishes. Last year at the Masters Tournament, he finished tied for 22nd. Over the past 12 months, Lee ranks in the 43rd percentile for proximity to the hole on approach shots from 150-200 yards in the fairway. This is significant because over 37% of approach shots at last year's Masters Tournament came from this distance. Lee could be a valuable addition to DFS lineups this week.

This is important because over 37% of approach shots at last year's Masters came from this distance. Including Scott in DFS lineups this week carries some risk.
