Masters Preview with Geoff Ulrich


Masters Preview with Geoff Ulrich


In this episode, Awesemo Golf Expert and I preview the 2022 Masters! We begin our discussion by looking at the new No. 1 golfer - Scottie Scheffler. With three wins in 2022, Scheffler has established himself as a favorite. He is also looking to win his first major. We are intrigued by Scheffler's consistency and wins. Geoff likes Scottie more from a DraftKings perspective. We then take a look at Rory Mcllroy's chances of completing the Grand Slam. Despite no Green Jacket, Geoff likes how Rory fits Augusta with his driving ability. We also do not care about Rory missing the cut at the Valero Texas Open in San Antonio. I bring up how Rory is following reigning Masters champ Hideki Matsuyama's path to a Green Jacker last year. We look at Augusta's two big changes. The Par-4 11th hole is now 520 yards, while the par-5 15th is now 550 holes. We both believe the 11th hole will be even harder with the hole now even longer. The Masters also tends to give the drivers a huge advantage with likely 14 drivers on 18 tee shots. We then take a look at our favorite guys with longer odds. Geoff likes Daniel Berger. Despite blowing the Honda Classic, Berger's steady game works well at majors. He also likes Adam Scott. I really like Corey Conners and Joaquín Niemann with longer odds. Niemann won Riviera, which is fairly similar to Augusta. Geoff likes my Niemann play with his all-around game. After our favorite bets, we look at Fantasy National to make our DFS/DK lineups. Geoff explains his modeling to make his DK lineups. We both believe ownership is an important key to avoid duplicate lineups. We also look at which golfers will be chalky. Geoff mentions Justin Thomas with his price tag cheaper than Scheffler, Jon Rahm, and Dustin Johnson. We are also interested in Jordan Spieth's and Cameron Smith's ownership. Finally, we deliver our winning picks. Geoff is going with Justin Thomas while The Big D is banking on Xander Schauffele to capture the Green Jacket.
