How And Where To Bet On The 2019 Masters At NJ Online Sportsbooks

The 2019 Masters tees off Thursday and, for the first time, anyone in New Jersey can now bet on golf’s biggest event.

Betting on the Masters can be as simple as picking the golfer you think will be putting on the green jacket inside Butler Cabin on Sunday evening and laying a few bucks down on it.

However, most NJ online and mobile sportsbooks are also offering several tournament- and player-specific lines for those who want to dive a little deeper.

Picking the outright 2019 Masters winner

Picking the outright winner of any PGA event before it starts can be downright tough, never mind who will win at Augusta National. That’s why you’ll see a positive (+) moneyline number beside every golfer on the board at all NJ sportsbooks heading into Thursday’s tee off.

Positive numbers mean big odds. The bigger the number, the more you stand to win if that golfer can become a 2019 Masters’ champion.

Of course, NJ sportsbooks will adjust these odds as the tournament progresses. That means the odds on the tournament leaders after the first two rounds are sure to go down. Plus, you may even find some negative (-) moneyline numbers heading into Sunday’s final round.

Negative moneyline numbers mean you’ll have to lay that number just to win $100 plus your bet back.

Add it up, and for the most part, the sooner you get a bet down on who you think will win the 2019 Masters, the better odds you’re going to get.

More 2019 Masters lines

As mentioned above, the betting lines on the 2019 Masters available at NJ sportsbooks extend well beyond just who will win it all.

You can bet on things including:

• Who will lead after the first, second and third rounds.
• A particular golfer’s final finishing position.
• The top finisher from a specific part of the world.
• Group and head-to-head scoring matchups.

There are even various props available.

Tiger Woods Masters props

Since four-time Masters’ champion Tiger Woods is the most popular athlete in the game, several NJ sportsbooks have put together a series of props surrounding Woods’ Masters performance this year.

For example, as of April 9, DraftKings Sportsbook is offering:

Plus, over on FanDuel Sportsbook, you’ll find Woods’ lines including:

• +2000 on Woods going bogey-free in the first round.
• +1200 on Woods to birdie the second hole in all four rounds.
• -120 on Woods to make an eagle on any hole.
