At high-value odds (+360), Matt Perrault endorses Dustin Johnson as an ideal bet to finish in the top 20 at The Masters, emphasizing he still holds the record for the lowest four-round score at Augusta (-20 in 2020). Perrault argues that sportsbooks underestimated the LIV Tour golfers' odds due to lack of visibility. Despite recent struggles, Johnson's historic success and experience at Augusta National create significant betting value. Perrault strongly advises bettors to ensure they wager without dead heat rules and views Johnson as a viable longshot contender to win outright at around 100 to 1.

Matt Vincenzi recommended betting Dustin Johnson (+10000) at Augusta, noting Johnson is on a hot streak after early-season struggles. A final-round 64 in Hong Kong, followed by strong play in Miami and Singapore, underscores Johnson's recent return to form. The former Masters champion expressed confident comparison to his victorious 2020 performance. Given his top-10 strokes-gained performance over the field at Augusta historically, Vincenzi advises considering Johnson as a compelling and undervalued Masters threat.

David Barnett sees Dustin Johnson as an intriguing DFS leverage play at Augusta. Though DJ disappointed many with a missed cut last year, recent form suggests he might be peaking again—starting slow on LIV Golf but improving with top finishes in recent events (T5 at Sentosa, currently T6 at Doral). Barnett also highlighted DJ's own declaration of feeling good and confident in his game heading into Augusta. With his price at only $7,500, DJ could provide valuable leverage if ownership remains low, although Barnett advises restraint due to the painful missed cut last year.

Pat Perry warned against rostering well-known veteran past Masters champions who carry inflated salaries based on legacy rather than recent form. Using Dustin Johnson’s 2024 Masters performance as a cautionary example, Perry highlighted Johnson scoring just 7.5 DraftKings points over two days despite being priced at $8,800. This significantly damaged roster builds given his high salary allocation. Perry stressed analyzing recent form, health, motivation, and competitive status closely rather than blindly rostering former Green Jacket winners based solely on reputation.

Pat Mayo expressed hesitancy about backing Dustin Johnson at Augusta despite DJ’s recent form improving on LIV Golf tour stops. Mayo highlighted Dustin Johnson’s repeated historical struggles specifically when attempting to close out victories at Augusta during April tournaments, although acknowledging DJ’s success at the November Masters. Mayo reflected on past betting losses involving Johnson at the Masters and implied it’s difficult to fully trust him, concluding DJ’s overall inconsistency and history of disappointing finishes at April Masters tournaments make him an unappealing betting target despite occasional strong recent outings.
