2020 Masters: Ranking the favorites for your fantasy golf picks

Uncanny golf expert Rick Gehman releases his top 30 players for this week's event at Augusta National

The 2020 Masters has finally arrived, and a stellar field will tee off Thursday at Augusta National. Bryson DeChambeau (8-1) and world No. 1 Dustin Johnson (9-1) are the favorites in the latest golf odds from the William Hill Sportsbook (for current 2020 Masters odds and more coverage and picks, head over to our event page at SportsLine). 

Before setting your Fantasy golf lineups or betting this tournament, you NEED to see data scientist Rick Gehman's power rankings.

With his expansive database of golf statistics, course data and betting odds, Gehman creates advanced models and back-tests them constantly. These models have produced 11 outright winners in the past year -- including 30-1 Webb Simpson at the 2020 RBC Heritage -- plus a $10,000 DraftKings win at The Masters.

At last week's Houston Open, Gehman listed Dustin Johnson and Tyrrell Hatton as his top two players, and both finished in the top seven. Johnson battled for the lead throughout the final round before settling for a tie for second at 11 under.

The previous week at the Bermuda Championship, Gehman was very high on Doc Redman and Denny McCarthy, picking them as his top two golfers. Both players went 12 under par, with Redman holding the 54-hole lead and McCarthy firing a final-round 63 as they finished tied for fourth! 

Now, Gehman has ranked his top 30 players for the 2020 Masters, and he is expecting a really big week from Justin Thomas! The No. 3 player in the world sometimes flies under the radar, but he is one of the best ball-strikers on the planet and he is trending toward a win at Augusta National. It could come this weekend. 

On the other hand, Gehman is fading Brooks Koepka, who drew the eye of oddsmakers and is posted at 16-1 at the William Hill Sportsbook after his tie for fifth last week in Houston.  However, the four-time major champion and former Player of the Year has been struggling mightily with his driver, and you just don't know what you are going to get. He barely cracks Gehman's top 15 players.  

Instead, Gehman is promoting a 50-1 longshot who will be playing the Masters for the first time but never shrinks on the big stage. This young golfer finished in the top five at the PGA Championship, and he could challenge for his first PGA Tour victory on the biggest stage of them all! You ABSOLUTELY need to see who it is before betting this tournament or entering any Fantasy golf lineups.
