Jon Rahm vs. Jordan Spieth Masters Matchup Best Bet

Rahm comes in as the heavy favorite thanks to his strong play so far this season, already notching three wins and a string of seven consecutive top-10 finishes.

However, Rahm has struggled entering Augusta over the last few weeks. His last three events he finished T39, W/D, and T31. On top of that, Augusta is a different animal, and course familiarity and past success might be more important here than anywhere else.

Spieth missed the cut here last year, but he was T3 just two years ago in 2021. Rahm has three career top-10 finishes at Augusta, but he was bested by Spieth in two of those three years.

I'll take the value on Spieth putting together an other solid week in Georgia.
