He’s the biggest name in golf.
Bryson DeChambeau is the Masters favorite (+750). His behemoth drives sometimes soar past 400 yards, blurring the lines of fact and mythical fiction. He’s on the cover of Sports Illustrated and pictured bare-chested with bulging muscles on the inside pages.
And now, as golf’s Masters prepares for a November tournament unlike any other (thanks to the coronavirus pandemic), DeChambeau steps firmly into the spotlight.
Masters betting specials center on DeChambeau
DraftKings is building some promotions around his burgeoning profile. DeChambeau, who has the most betting handle of anyone in the Masters field, has been boosted from -769 to +100 to make the cut at DraftKings Sportsbook. Perhaps it’s not a sure thing, but it certainly seems pretty close.
Here’s the fine print:
- Make a deposit of $5+ into your sportsbook account.
- Following sign-up, you will be issued a single-use odds boost to use on Bryson DeChambeau to make the cut.
- You must select the boost in your bet slip BEFORE placing the bet.
- Boosted odds bet must be placed on an individual bet slip.
