Masters Odds 2019: Early Lines and Predictions for Top Sleepers in the Field

A raft of fancied favourites enter the field as the 2019 Masters opens at Augusta National Golf Club on Thursday, but recent history suggests we'll see a sleeper emerge to take the Green Jacket.

The past three Masters tournaments have been won by distant underdogs, with Jordan Spieth the last pre-competition favourite (or thereabouts) to win in 2015. Since then, Danny Willett, Sergio Garcia and defending champion Patrick Reed have shown, in that order, even the minnows can triumph in Augusta.

The Masters will usher in golf's major season, and the likes of Rory McIlroy, Dustin Johnson and Justin Rose sit among those hot picks ready to shoulder the weight of expectation in their title bids.
