The 2025 Masters Tournament

As everyone likely saw (especially those unlucky souls who had Monday badges) a huge storm passed through Augusta earlier in the week, dumping rain and softening the golf course (at least for the time being).

With any luck, we should be in for dry skies through almost the entire tournament, but the winds will pick up somewhat from Thursday to Friday.

Keegan Bradley -136 ($7000) vs. Tom Kim +114 ($7500)

In a star-studded field, we’re looking in the discount rack for this week’s matchup featuring a discrepancy in the $7k range between Keegan Bradley and Tom Kim.

Keegan comes into Augusta in better form and with more Masters experience than Young Tom. Both aren’t new to ANGC, but Keegan has seven made cuts in eight appearances while Kim has respectable finishes of T16 and T30 in his only starts.

Our Nut Hut Ownership Projections available in the Discord show that the public is riding with the oddsmakers on this one. Our models show Keegan at around 10% while Kim is nearly half of that at close to 5%.

Get to know the 2025 PGA Tour Rookies

Thanks to recent eligibility changes from the PGA Tour, 45 newly-minted Tour Cards were handed out ahead of the 2025 season. Each week, we’ll spotlight a few up-and-comers whose names will be important to know as the year progresses.

• Kaito Onishi - Japan

  Onishi became the fourth Japanese player to earn PGA TOUR membership via the Korn Ferry Tour thanks to his 25th-place finish in the season-long points list. His 2024 campaign was highlighted by a breakthrough win at the 2024 UNC Health Championship presented by STITCH. The victory made him the second Japanese player to win on the Korn Ferry Tour, following Ryuji Imada. Prior to joining the Korn Ferry Tour, he won the 2022 Fujisankei Classic on the Japan Golf Tour. A four-year standout at USC, Onishi earned All-Pac-12 First Team honors in 2019 and 2021. Born in Chiba and raised in Nagoya, he moved to Los Angeles with his mother at age 9. Onishi has just one made cut in eight starts in 2025.

• Ricky Castillo - Yorba Linda, CA

  Castillo earned PGA TOUR membership in his first full Korn Ferry Tour season that was highlighted by a T2 at the 2024 Magnit Championship. The former Florida Gator standout won his Korn Ferry Tour debut at the 2023 Wichita Open, becoming the youngest winner of that season at age 22 on his way to finishing No. 53 on the Points List. Castillo ranked No. 9 in the 2023 PGA TOUR University Ranking and starred in Florida’s 2023 NCAA Championship run, going 3-0 in match play to help secure the program’s first national title in over two decades. A four-time All-SEC selection, he won three times individually during his collegiate career. He capped off the 2024 season with his brother Derek—also a former pro—as his caddie. A native of Yorba Linda, CA, Castillo now lives in Jacksonville. Castillo has two top-15 finishes in 2025 with a T15 at the Farmers and a T12 at the Valspar.

Over-Unders for the Masters Tournament

We’re peaking at the right time headed into the year’s first major coming off a nice three-legger at the Valero.

But we’re keeping things tight in Augusta and looking for consistency in round one with a simple two-man play in round one.

Following the deluge on Monday, the course will likely be at its softest in the first round, and a simple one-under round seems very doable for these guys who are among the favorites this week.

BTN Weekly Prop Play 
2025 Record: (1-10-3) [-9 units]

Rd. 1 : Tommy Fleetwood under 71.5 strokes

I try to stay away from tailing the UD play to provide some additional insight to you, the reader, but this number is just too high. He’s playing too well not to back him for at least a one-under round.

*DISCLAIMER: The Chalk Bomb is CHALK for a reason! This is a ballsy call. We're simply giving you 1 player projected to be highly owned that we think could warrant a fade in order to gain leverage in DFS GPP Tournaments. Sack up & fade OR Ignore the play. 

It’s after 6 PM on the eve of the Masters as of writing, so keeping this short and sweet to get this out ASAP.

As always, the Chalk Bomb is limited to players projected at over 15% ownership in DFS according to our proprietary projections available in the Tour Junkies Discord. The Masters always features one of the strongest and smallest fields in golf, and as such, we don’t have many names to choose from.

With Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy each featuring in nearly 30% of lineups, only three other players meet our eligibility requirements:

Collin Morikawa - 17.7%
Jon Rahm - 17.7%
Xander Schauffele - 15.5%

I’m not itching to fade any of these three, but as someone who loves both Collin and Xander this week for a lot of reasons, that leaves me with no choice but to choose Rahmbo.

The fiery Spaniard hasn’t contended at a major since the 2023 Masters, and I’m not confident he’ll do so this week.

Does anyone else ever notice that when you're on stage—or like, at a crowded pool or something—where you have to walk in front of a bunch of people, suddenly it gets weirdly hard to walk? Like, you start thinking everyone’s judging how you walk, and then boom, you forget how to do it normally. Sometimes I seriously feel like I have to concentrate just to remember how to walk.

If I were to set up a scam that could last for many generations. A wishing well would definitely be the way to go.

Why does cranberry juice taste like it doesn’t want to be wet?

If you take the wings off a fly do you then call it a walk?

Alright folks—that’s all I’ve got for the 89th Masters Tournament! I couldn’t be more excited for this edition of the greatest sporting event in the world. Stay well, and good luck with all your PGA DFS lineups and bets. BOME!
