PGA Weekly Course Analysis: The Masters

Each week, Sean O’Donnell will break down the course in detail to figure out which golfers will be in the best position to succeed.

The Masters

“A Tradition Unlike Any Other” is here – the first million-dollar prize at steak on DraftKings, not to mention beefed-up prize pools in bunches of other contests across both DraftKings and FanDuel. SO much is going to be said about this week, and it’s a special week for course analysis because this is one place where the course is maybe the biggest “brand” in golf and just as much of a story as anyone playing in it. And EVERYONE is playing in it.
