Masters 2017 odds: After Genesis Open win, Dustin Johnson surges on list

Jordan Spieth and Dustin Johnson are basically co-favorites for Augusta

Dustin Johnson and Jordan Spieth are two of the last three No. 1-ranked golfers in the world (Jason Day is the other). They are also the two favorites for the Masters, which starts in just six weeks. 

Following his big win at the Genesis Open last week, Johnson got a bump in pre-Masters odds ahead of Rory McIlroy and Jason Day. Here are your top 14 favorites, according to Westgate Las Vegas Superbook.

• Jordan Spieth: 13-2
  
• Dustin Johnson: 8-1
  
• Rory McIlroy: 12-1
  
• Jason Day: 12-1
  
• Hideki Matsuyama: 12-1
• Justin Rose: 15-1
  
• Justin Thomas: 25-1
  
• Bubba Watson: 25-1
  
• Henrik Stenson: 25-1
  
• Adam Scott: 25-1
  
• Patrick Reed: 30-1
  
• Sergio Garcia: 30-1
  
• Phil Mickelson: 30-1
  
• Rickie Fowler: 30-1
  

Johnson was 12-1 just a few weeks ago, but 8-1 is more where he should be. Johnson has finished in the top six at Augusta in each of the last two years. 

McIlroy at 12-1 right now is stealing if he’s healthy. Adam Scott at 25-1 is delightful as well. Mickelson and Reed should not be at the same number -- not when Lefty has three green jackets and Reed has zero top 10s at majors.

With every passing week, the Masters storylines grow. A few weeks ago, it was Matsuyama; this week, it’s Johnson. Spieth has remained at the epicenter throughout. This year’s edition should be phenomenal.
