The first golf major of the season is finally here. We’ve got four cracking days of action at Augusta for The Masters 2023.

Will Scottie Scheffler make it back-to-back wins or is the green jacket going elsewhere? Maybe it’s time for Rory McIlroy to turn it on?

We’ve got PPTV’s Justin Kenny on hand to discuss who the best English hope is at Augusta.

Which English player has the best chance of success?

Tommy Fleetwood is trending well in recent months and showed up well in the Players Championship. It’s a big year for Tommy with the Ryder Cup coming up later in the year and remember, he’s got two top 20 finishes at Augusta in 2020 and 2022.

    Of the LIV golfers, who has the best chance?

    The victory of Dustin Johnson in 2021, when winning by five shots and finishing on -20, is fresh in the memory. The LIV Tour is made for him with the reduced schedule and his relaxed approach to life and golf in general. He will come into Augusta National feeling very confident and is going in under the radar also. His stats and record at the Masters make him a big threat to all.

    What does the split look like from a support point of view in terms of betting on LIV golfers vs non-LIV?

    As of now, roughly 11% of bets have been placed on LIV golfers with Cam Smith being the most popular by far. It seems as well as a lot of big named golfers staying loyal to golfing tradition, punters appear to be following suit. And to add context to that, bets on Rory McIlroy are nearly on par with the total number of bets on the LIV Tour golfers with McIlroy attracting 9% of total bets.

    When you add up the number of bets on the Big Three (McIlroy, Scheffler & Rahm), they add up to nearly 25% of total bets placed so far, which is over twice the amount of bets placed on the total amount of LIV golfers taking part.
