It’s Tiger Time 🐅

I mean, look at the joy on Tiger’s face. Sure it’s a single photo with no context but I’m ALL IN. Like Tiger, I am back. This is Olivia from TGD, once again filling in for Brian, who will return next week. Keep scrolling for more on the Masters, MLB locks, and the best venues in sports. Let’s get to it. ⤵️

Tiger Props

If you remember, in February 2021, Tiger was in a car accident so brutal that his doctors weighed amputation. He battled back and scraped by to make the cut in 2022, all while walking the notoriously hilly course.

This year, I’m locking in Tiger to make the cut (-190). Here are some other Tiger bets to ponder. Which ones are you betting on?

Masters Winner Prediction

OK, so Tiger is a long shot, but we’d never count him out. That said, the clear favorite here is last year’s Masters champion, Scottie Scheffler. He finished at -10 in last year’s tournament, three strokes ahead of Rory McIlroy.

A lot of people want to spread the love, but I’m actually a huge fan of back-to-back chips: the 2012 and 2013 Heat, the Bulls in the 90s, UGA Football a few seasons ago, Tiger at Augusta in 2001 and 2002, etc. I may be in the minority in rooting for this scenario, but I love to witness greatness, and Scheffler is at the top of his game.

He already took the top prizes at the WM Phoenix Open and THE PLAYERS Championship this year and now aims to become the fourth-ever successful defender of the green jacket, joining Jack Nicklaus, Nick Faldo and — of course — Tiger.

Are you picking Scheffler to don the green jacket or going with the field?

Current odds:

If you want a true sleeper pick, let me offer up my fellow South Korean: Si Woo Kim (+9000). 🇰🇷 Kim is a four-time winner on the PGA Tour who is generally at his best at Augusta.

The Best Venues in Sports

A big factor at Augusta this week is the weather. There’s a lot of rain in the forecast, so our writer John Arlia says to expect chaos.

There’s still time for this forecast to change, but at the moment, Augusta is expecting off-and-on rain showers throughout the week. That’s not exactly what we want to hear from a golf betting perspective, as this could throw some chaos into the mix when it comes to tee times and weather draws.

A consistent dose of rain throughout the week could also soften the conditions for players, meaning scores could be lower than normal.

That said, every pic I’ve seen on social media looks absolutely gorgeous. I have serious FOMO and am jealous of everyone in Augusta this week. While my favorite types of stadiums in sports to visit are MLB ballparks, I took the time to pick what I think are the 10 most iconic venues in sports.

  1. Augusta

  2. Rose Bowl

  3. Wembley Stadium

  4. Madison Square Garden

  5. Wrigley Field

  6. Wimbledon

  7. Lambeau Field

  8. Churchill Downs

  9. Indianapolis Motor Speedway

  10. Cameron Indoor Stadium

MLB Bets

We have been blessed with so many afternoon baseball games yesterday and today. Know what that means? A ton of chances to smash the NRFI (no run first inning) today.

My NRFI pick of the day is Giants-White Sox, with Alex Wood and Lance Lynn, respectively, on the mound for the series finale.
