Matt Cradock advises taking advantage of Patrick Reed's inflated betting number (+9000) as an outsider with significant value. Reed, the 2018 Masters champion, has quietly returned to excellent form, with a recent victory in late 2024 and seven top-25 finishes since. He has a consistent Masters history—no missed cuts at Augusta since 2017, and four top-12 finishes in the last five years. Cradock believes Reed's reliable Augusta track record combined with strong recent results make him a high-value each-way betting pick, clearly going overlooked by bookmakers and bettors.

Matt Cradock enthusiastically picks Collin Morikawa as his outright winner of the 2025 Masters, highlighting his exceptional consistency at Augusta with finishes of 5th, 10th, and 3rd in recent years. Morikawa has begun 2025 impressively, earning top-17 finishes consistently, despite no wins yet. Cradock emphasizes Morikawa's precision iron play and overall strong game as crucial for success at Augusta. With Morikawa already halfway to completing a career Grand Slam, Cradock sees the 2025 Masters as his breakthrough moment, fully expecting him to be '75% of the way there come Sunday' and seeing great value at odds of +1600.

Matt Cradock recommended Corey Conners (+2500) based on his excellent recent form and statistical fit for the Copperhead Course. Conners recently finished solo third at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and tied sixth at The Players Championship, which followed a solid top-five showing at The Sentry earlier this season. Cradock highlighted Conners' strengths, notably ranking inside the top 20 in Driving Accuracy Percentage and 32nd in Greens in Regulation, two critical categories for success at Innisbrook. If Conners can get a hot putter, Cradock sees him as a prime candidate for a strong performance and possibly a victory this week.

Matt Cradock sees Niklas Norgaard Moller (+8000) as a great outsider pick for the Valspar Championship, crediting the Dane's complete, balanced game as suitable for the Copperhead Course. He notes that Norgaard currently ranks 18th in Strokes Gained: Total and 28th in SG: Tee-to-Green. Despite having his first full season on the PGA Tour, Norgaard has already delivered solid finishes, including T25 at the Cognizant Classic and T34 results at the Mexico Open and Puerto Rico Open. Cradock believes Norgaard’s ball-striking excellence could produce a strong showing in Florida, especially if the putter heats up.

Matt Cradock recommended Justin Thomas as a favorite at THE PLAYERS Championship, despite Thomas' recent struggles during the weekend at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Cradock pointed to Thomas's outstanding earlier 2025 form, including a runner-up at The American Express, a T6 at the WM Phoenix Open, and T9 at the Genesis Invitational. Thomas, a past Players winner, has historically performed well at Sawgrass. Cradock particularly spotlighted Thomas' current ranking of sixth in Strokes Gained: Tee-To-Green, noting he'll be a legitimate contender if he maintains accuracy off the tee.

Matt Cradock highlighted Christiaan Bezuidenhout as an intriguing outsider for THE PLAYERS Championship at significant +9000 odds. Cradock emphasized Bezuidenhout's strong course history—finishing T13 at TPC Sawgrass in both 2023 and 2024—and noted two recent top-20 finishes, including a T4 at the WM Phoenix Open. Bezuidenhout’s accuracy off the tee and exceptional putting (ranked third in Strokes Gained: Putting) align perfectly with the demands of TPC Sawgrass, positioning him as a potential high-value betting play.
