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.

10 Insane Facts About The Masters

The Masters is an invitation-only event, meaning the players don’t automatically qualify purely based on their world rankings. It's one of the four majors on the PGA tournament, tickets could cost you anywhere from $2,000-$4,000 to just touch the grass at Augusta National in Georgia.

There are many unwritten traditions that are ingrained at Augusta National, and while the origins for many are unknown, they're followed every single year.
