At odds of 33/1, Min Woo Lee has been well backed down over the last few days and unsurprisingly so. Lee won his first PGA Tour title two weeks ago at the Texas Children's Houston Open, holding off a late charge from World No.1 Scottie Scheffler and Gary Woodland to claim a one stroke victory. Prior to this win, he had finished between T11 and T20 in four of his previous six events. Min Woo's confidence will be sky high going to Augusta and he has the game to contend, ranking 3rd in driving distance, 7th in strokes gained around the green, 5th in strokes gained putting, 8th in overall putting average and 18th in scrambling. The 26-year-old has played at the Masters three times, with his best results a T14 in 2022 and T22 in 2024. Given the guts shown to hold onto his lead in his maiden PGA victory a fortnight ago, I'd expect more titles to follow. This could be too soon, but an each-way bet is worth it. Min Woo Lee has the incentive of joining his sister as a major champion and I believe he'll at least come close in the not-too-distant future.

Collin Morikawa has played five tournaments so far in 2025, with his worst results coming in T17 finishes at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and Genesis Invitational in February. He had a great chance to win both the Sentry Tournament of Champions in January and Arnold Palmer Invitational last month, before ending as a runner-up in both. The world No.4 has only won one tournament in nearly three and a half years, with victory at the Zozo Championship in October 2023 his last success. However, there's still plenty to like about the American this week and his PGA Tour stats are impressive as he stands 2nd in strokes gained total, 4th in driving accuracy, 9th in greens in regulation, 5th in putting average, 4th in bogey avoidance and 20th in scrambling. Morikawa's last three finishes at Augusta were 5th, T10 and his T3 last year was his best to date. Despite his lack of wins recently, given his recent and Masters form, Collin is well worth an each-way bet this week at 16/1.

Daniel Berger returned from an 18 month injury lay-off at the beginning of 2024 and unsurprisingly was slow to pick up early results, with just four top 25's in his first twenty five events. However, he then finished off the campaign well with a T2 in the RSM Classic in November. He's looked solid if unspectacular in 2025 and has claimed results of T2 this year at the WM Phoenix Open, 12th at the Genesis Invitational, T15 in the Arnold Palmer Invitational and T20 at the Players Championship. Berger ranks 6th in total driving on the PGA Tour, 10th in strokes gained total, 19th in strokes gained around the green, 26th in overall putting average and 24th in scrambling, so his all round game is looking good. The World No.43 has previously played in five Masters Championships, with his 2016 debut providing his best result of T10. Daniel is currently 24th in the FedEx Cup and will be eager to impress following just one major showing in three years. At 100/1, I believe he is the outstanding value of the three figure outshots, so will happily back him here.
