Hideki Matsuyama Masters Prediction 2023
Talk about steady improvement. Hideki Matsuyama put together forgettable performances in his first three Masters appearances, but came out of nowhere to finish fifth in 2015 and has posted six top-20 finishes in his seven Masters appearances since that time. He is a regular contender at this point.
More 2023 Masters betting content from The Duel:
Combine Matsuyama's past success at Augusta with his recent form and the Japanese golfer seems like an underrated betting option. He posted a top-20 finish at both The Players Championship and the Valero Texas Open in March, meaning he is playing some of his best golf at the perfect time.
Those finishes aren't just flukes, either. Matsuyama ranks among the top 30 golfers in Strokes Gained (SG): Total as well as SG: Around the Green and SG: Tee to Green. He is finding ways to get ahead of the competition, so I feel comfortable backing Matsuyama for another top-20 finish (+130) this year.
