- Bet for the Week: Coming Soon
- DFS Salary for the Millionaire Maker on DraftKings: $7,400
- Quick Notes: A weird last couple of years for Reed, who’s come into the spotlight a few times. He’s been solid here at Augusta for years, with three top-10s and a win in his last four trips.
Billy Horschel
- Age & Birthplace: 34/USA
- How They Qualified: Top 50 OWGR
- Recent Form:
  - 9
  - WD
  - 2
  - Best 2022 Finish: 2nd at the Arnold Palmer Invitational
- Masters Form:
  - 2021: 50
  - 2020: 38
  - 2019: 56
  - 2018: MC
- Bet for the Week: Coming Soon
- DFS Salary for the Millionaire Maker on DraftKings: $7,400
- Quick Notes: While no wins have resulted from the stellar play this year, Horschel has refined his game and has looked good all year. His success around these parts isn’t all that good, with his best finish being a 17th-place finish in 2016.
Sergio Garcia
- Age & Birthplace: 39/Spain
- How They Qualified: 2018 Masters Champion
- Recent Form:
  - 26
  - 26
  - 38
  - Best 2022 Finish: 12th at the Slync.IO Dubai Desert Classic
- Masters Form:
  - 2021: MC
  - 2019: MC
  - 2018: MC
  - 2017: 1
- Bet for the Week: Coming Soon
- DFS Salary for the Millionaire Maker on DraftKings: $7,800
- Quick Notes: There are plenty of theories abound about Garcia and his winning Master’s campaign in 2017, and it’s said all the magic beans he had left, he sold to put on the green jacket. An acceptable trade for the 42-year-old from Spain, who hadn’t won a major yet in his decorated career. He comes into this week with no top-10s on the season, looking for a change of fortunes this week.
Corey Conners
- Age & Birthplace: 32/Canada
- How They Qualified: 8th at the 2021 Masters
- Recent Form:
  - 3
  - 26
  - 11
  - Best 2022 Finish: 3rd at the WGC Match Play
- Masters Form:
  - 2021: 8
  - 2020: 10
  - 2019: 46
- Bet for the Week: Coming Soon
- DFS Salary for the Millionaire Maker on DraftKings: $7,600
- Quick Notes: One of the more elite ball strikers in the field that just needs his putter to follow every now again. When it does, he’s always on the first page of the leaderboard or, if nothing else, part of the optimal lineup. He’s found solid success here at Augusta as well, coming in the top 10 each of the last two years, and is 3-for-3 in making the cut.
Joaquin Niemann
- Age & Birthplace: 25/Chile
- How They Qualified: Winner of the 2022 Genesis Invitational
- Recent Form:
  - 35
  - 22
  - MC
  - Best 2022 Finish: 1st at the Genesis Invitational
- Masters Form:
  - 2021: 40
  - 2018: MC
- Bet for the Week: Coming Soon
- DFS Salary for the Millionaire Maker on DraftKings: $8,200
- Quick Notes: A dominating performance that saw Niemann go wire-to-wire to win the Genesis Invitational this year. It shows how good his top-end form can be. But he has yet to find that type of form at the Masters, missing the cut in 2018 and coming in 40th last year.
Paul Casey
- Age & Birthplace: 43/England
- How They Qualified: Top 50 in the OWGR Jan. 1, 2021
- Recent Form:
  - 60
  - 3
  - 72
  - Best 2022 Finish: 3rd at the Players Championship
- Masters Form:
  - 2021: 26
  - 2020: 38
  - 2019: MC
  - 2018: 15
- Statistical Profile:
  - Strokes Gained Tee to Green: 17
  - OWGR: 18
  - Driving Distance: 17
  - Driving Accuracy: 31
  - Off the Tee: 76
  - On the Approach: 15
- Bet for the Week: Coming Soon
- DFS Salary for the Millionaire Maker on DraftKings: $7,600
- Quick Notes: Inevitably, as anyone gets older the bones just don’t work as well. That’s been the case lately for Casey, who had to all but withdraw from the Match Play event due to a bad back. The back has ailed him for years now, hindering his chances at big finishes here. He is typically a mainstay on the weekend here at the Masters though making six of his last seven cuts.
Sungjae Im
- Age & Birthplace: 23/South Korea
- How They Qualified: Winner of the 2021 Shriners Open
- Recent Form:
  - 35
  - 55
  - 20
  - Best 2022 Finish: 6th at the Farmers Insurance Open
- Masters Form:
  - 2021: MC
  - 2020: 2
- Bet for the Week: Coming Soon
- DFS Salary for the Millionaire Maker on DraftKings: $8,400
- Quick Notes: His first trip to Augusta National almost resulted in his first major championship win, coming in second, but his second trip didn’t go so well. He’s been consistent this year, with a couple of top-10s and only two missed cuts.
Adam Scott
- Age & Birthplace: 41/Australia
- How They Qualified: Winner of the 2020 U.S. Open
- Recent Form:
  - 58
  - WD
  - MC
  - Best 2022 Finish: 24th at the Tournament of Champions
- Masters Form:
  - 2021: 46
  - 2020: 34
  - 2019: 29
  - 2018: 11
- Bet for the Week: Coming Soon
- DFS Salary for the Millionaire Maker on DraftKings: $8,300
Shane Lowry
- Age & Birthplace: 34/Ireland
- How They Qualified: Winner of the 2020 Open Championship
- Recent Form:
  - 35
  - 12
  - 14
  - Best 2022 Finish: 2nd at the Honda Classic
- Masters Form:
  - 2021: 21
  - 2020: 35
  - 2019: MC
  - 2017: MC
- Bet for the Week: Coming Soon
- DFS Salary for the Millionaire Maker on DraftKings: $8,800
- Quick Notes: After his first couple of times to Augusta didn’t go so well, missing the cut three of his first trips, the last two years have gone much better, finishing in the top 25 each of the previous two years. He’s also on a nice stretch of golf over the last month or so, with a second-place finish at the Honda Classic and a few other top-15s across the Florida swing.
Marc Leishman
- Age & Birthplace: 38/Australia
- How They Qualified: Winner of the 2020 U.S. Open
- Recent Form:
  - 35
  - MC
  - 68
  - Best 2022 Finish: 10th at the Tournament of Champions
- Masters Form:
  - 2021: 5
  - 2020: 13
  - 2019: 49
  - 2018: 9
- Bet for the Week: Coming Soon
- DFS Salary for the Millionaire Maker on DraftKings: $7,300
- Quick Notes: A solid year for the burly Aussie, missing just one cut but only one top 10 in his eight starts. He comes into this year’s event on the heels of his second top five of the event and his first since 2013.
Webb Simpson
- Age & Birthplace: 36/Australia
- How They Qualified: Winner of the 2020 U.S. Open
- Recent Form:
  - 35
  - 48
  - MC
  - Best 2022 Finish: 35th at the WGC Match Play Championship
- Masters Form:
  - 2021: 12
  - 2020: 10
  - 2019: 5
  - 2018: 20
- Bet for the Week: Coming Soon
- DFS Salary for the Millionaire Maker on DraftKings: $7,500
- Quick Notes: Having missed most of this year due to an injury, Simpson is just starting to find his footing. He’s working on four straight solid appearances here at Augusta, with two top 10s and all finishes inside the top 20, Simpson will need to find form fast to keep up those stats.
Bryson DeChambeau
- Age & Birthplace: 27/USA
- How They Qualified: Winner of the 2020 U.S. Open
- Recent Form:
  - 58
  - WD
  - MC
  - Best 2022 Finish: 24th at the Tournament of Champions
- Masters Form:
  - 2021: 46
  - 2020: 34
  - 2019: 29
  - 2018: 11
- Bet for the Week: Coming Soon
- DFS Salary for the Millionaire Maker on DraftKings: $9,100
- Quick Notes: One of the last golfers to move from the Contenders list to the Long Shots list, as DeChambeau’s game is nowhere close to in-form. He looked awful last week in his two rounds in San Antonio and didn’t look much better at the WGC Match Play the week before. Augusta isn’t a place to really find form, but maybe it will be for DeChambeau.
