In just two days the 82nd Masters will be underway. We’ll all be streaming the coverage pretending to work or maybe you even took off Thursday and Friday so you literally won’t miss one second of the coverage. Hell, maybe you’re there and if you were wondering, yes, it is perfectly fine if your first stop through the gates is to the concessions to grab a chicken biscuit paired nicely with an ice cold beer at 7:30 in the morning.

We’re all going to be watching that’s for sure, but we all won’t be gambling on the year’s first major but that shouldn’t take away from the fact that there are some very intriguing prop bets out there as we inch closer to the greatest Thursday in sports.

All of these come via BetDSI:

Will Tiger Woods make the 2018 Masters cut? Yes: -170 |No: +140

Do you like making free money? He’s never missed the cut at Augusta, he’s coming into the week in great form and he has four green jackets sitting in his closet.

Best finish in 2018 Masters: Tiger Woods: -135 | Phil Mickelson: +105

Now things are getting a little interesting. Both Lefty and Tiger come into the week playing some of the best golf they’ve played in years. The storylines are surrounding these two guys like wild fire and will continue to do so, but one does have to beat the other or they could of course both finish in a tie for 39th or something and we all just act like nothing happened.

Will Jordan Spieth hit a ball into the water on №12 during the 2018 Masters? Yes: +140 | No: -190

Nobody needs to be reminded of Spieth hitting two in the drink on №12 in 2016. This is an interesting one here though because after all, Spieth is human (right?) and he will surely be thinking about last year’s collapse if he’s in contention on Sunday. Maybe he gets all of those bad thoughts out during the first-round though.

Taylormade: +325
Titleist: +405
Under Armour: +650
Cobra/Puma: +700
Ping: +800
Callaway: +800
PXG: +900
Other: +400

You may have realized that Nike isn’t on that list, but it falls into the category of ‘other’ which includes the likes of Rory McIlroy, Jason Day,Paul Casey and Woods just to name a few.

Who will the winner hug first in the 2018 Masters? (excluding caddie)

Child: +225
Parent: +605
Wife/Girlfriend: +165
Wife holding child: +305
No hug: +825

If someone you know throws down serious cash on this bet, it may be time to have a talk. If I had to throw money on this, I think parent would be the safest bet. With the young favorites and darkhorses in the field, you’d have to imagine their parents will be the first to get a hug if one of those guys does pull it out on Sunday.
