On Wednesday's edition of The Daily Drive with Ace Sauerwein, we had our Financial Advisor, Nick Chrestenson in studio sharing his Master's 2025 picks.
Note: Don't gamble your life savings away. Set limits and don't take our word as scripture. This is nothing but entertainment and fun.
Masters 2025 First Round Leader Bet
Nick is taking a few "prop" bets in this year's Masters. To start off his slate, Chrestenson went with a few golfers to be the first round leader.
"I always kind of like sprinkling a little bit on 'First Round Leader," explained Chrestenson. "Scottie [Scheffler] to be leading after Round 1, $5 pays $54. Bryson [DeChambeau], $5 pays $115."
Master's Top 20 Finish Bets
"Another guy I like this week is Sepp Straka... He finished 16th in the Masters last year. For him to be top 20, it's +185."
$20 will make you $71 on Straka.
Chrestenson is also repping Fargo, North Dakota's own.
"A similar guy, Tom Hoge... This year, he's played in 10 PGA Tour events. He already has 4 top 25 finishes and his last two rounds that he played he was tied for 5th, tied for 3rd and one was in the Players, which was a really strong field."
Hoge is at +480 to finish in the top 20 (or $25 to win $145).
Masters 2025 Champion Bets
"My guy Jordan Speith. He's my favorite golfer, always has been. $10 on him to win pays $280," said Chrestenson. "It's one of those 'I don't know if he's going to win' but I like the value and I can't not bet him."
Lastly, Nick is picking Ahkshay Bhatia. $5 to win $250 for Bhatia.
