Brad Thomas recommends betting on Max Homa to miss the cut (+120) at the Masters Tournament, highlighting significant struggles. Homa comes into this event having missed five consecutive cuts, primarily faltering badly on Thursdays, averaging a loss of 4.78 strokes relative to the field during the opening round. Thomas underlines Homa's dire approach-shot metrics (-4 average strokes gained on approach), tying these issues to his extensive recent changes: switching from Titleist to Cobra equipment, changing swing coach (from Mark Blackburn to John Scott Rattan), and splitting from longtime caddie Joe Grenier. Given these factors, Thomas feels there's little reason to believe Homa can turn it around at Augusta this week.

Brad Thomas highlighted Jon Rahm as the best betting selection in the 'top LIV golfer' category for this year's Masters Tournament. Rahm's odds have already moved significantly from +2000 down to +1300, indicating sharp market support. Over the past 36 rounds, Rahm has gained the most strokes on average among LIV players. He's currently in excellent form, securing five straight top-10 finishes, including two finishes inside the top five. Thomas noted Rahm's recent strong play off the tee, putting performance, and boosted confidence are ideal indicators going into Augusta.

Brad Thomas is bullish on Collin Morikawa securing a top-10 finish at the Masters Tournament (+130 odds). Morikawa has excelled at Augusta, earning three consecutive top-10s, including two top-fives. Augusta favors precise drivers due to minimal second cut, making errant drives especially punitive, and Morikawa ranks among the PGA Tour’s elite in driving accuracy (72% fairways hit). Thomas also highlighted Morikawa's recent consistency, having notched five straight top-20 finishes, with three being inside the top 10. Offering a mix of Augusta success, elite accuracy, and strong recent form, Thomas believes Morikawa is poised to contend once again this year.
