A strong performance at the Houston Open last week has vaulted Jordan Spieth into the role of favorite for the Masters later this week at Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia.
The 24-year-old Texas native tied for third at the Houston Open, and he is now listed as the +900 favorite (bet $100 to win $900) on the 2018 Masters odds at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark. Spieth won his first Masters three years ago at the age of 21, becoming the second-youngest ever to win the event behind Tiger Woods.
Speaking of Woods, he is the +1400 co-fifth choice to win his first Masters since 2005, and the biggest story heading into the first major tournament of the year after turning in consecutive top-5 finishes over the past month.
