Bryson DeChambeau will shoot for his second straight major championship when the 2020 Masters tees off Thursday at Augusta National. The 27-year-old won the U.S. Open at Winged Foot in September, erasing a two-shot 54-hole deficit to win by six strokes. DeChambeau tied for eighth at his final tune-up event last month and comes in as the 8-1 favorite, according to the latest 2020 Masters odds at William Hill Sportsbook. World No. 1 Dustin Johnson, who has finished in the top 10 in six straight events, is the second favorite at 9-1.

Other elite players in the 2020 Masters field expected to contend, according to oddsmakers, include Jon Rahm (11-1), Justin Thomas (13-1), Rory McIlory (14-1) and Brooks Koepka (16-1). Defending champion and five-time champion Tiger Woods, who missed the cut at the U.S. Open and tied for 72nd in his last event, is 35-1. Before locking in any 2020 Masters predictions and picks, you need to check out the latest PGA Tour predictions from SportsLine's resident golf insider, Sal Johnson.

A media legend and consummate golf insider, Johnson knows exactly what it takes to win at Augusta National. Before last year's Masters, he featured Tiger Woods in his top picks despite the four-time winner coming off back surgery. Johnson noted Woods' tee-to-green game looked almost as sharp as it did in his prime, "and this will be the reason for him winning." The result? Woods shot 13-under, edging Brooks Koepka, Dustin Johnson and Xander Schauffele to earn his fifth green jacket.

Johnson has been spot-on all year. He pegged Sungjae Im as a top contender before his first Tour win at the Honda Classic in March and touted surging Tyrrell Hatton before his breakthrough at the Arnold Palmer the following week.

At the St. Jude Invitational, he said 100-1 long shot Phil Mickelson would contend, and the 50-year-old tied for second. And before their epic duel at Olympia Fields, the stats expert had Jon Rahm and Dustin Johnson listed as his top two golfers. Anyone who has followed Johnson's golf picks has been rewarded with some huge returns.

Now, Johnson -- the first producer of "Inside the PGA Tour" and a longtime ABC Sports golf producer who has worked with Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer and Greg Norman who is also the founder of the world's top golf statistics database -- has released his highly confident 2020 Masters picks here, and they will surprise you.

Top 2020 Masters expert picks

At the Masters 2020, Johnson is fading Bryson DeChambeau, even though he won the most recent major championship and comes in as the favorite. The tour's big bopper doesn't have a solid history at Augusta National, where he has never finished inside the top 20, and his potential change to a longer driver shaft could hurt more than help.

DeChambeau's length off the tee is surely an asset, but it might not serve him well this week. Johnson suggests you steer clear of the U.S. Open champ in your 2020 Masters picks.

On the other hand, Dustin Johnson's recent performance has impressed everyone, and the stats expert is no exception. He watched the 36-year-old surge back to No. 1 in the world with three victories last season. Johnson has one finish worse than a tie for second in his past six events, and that was a sixth-place run at the U.S. Open. The 2016 U.S. Open champion is third on tour in driving distance (328.8) and second in total strokes gained and scoring average (66.877). 

The stats guru is also very familiar with the skill set of Justin Thomas, who flies under the radar but is ranked third in the world. The 2017 PGA champion has 13 PGA Tour victories and finished in the top 12 in all three events this season. Thomas tied for second in his last outing at the Zozo Championship and has shot in the 60s in six of the past eight rounds. The 27-year-old was second in strokes gained total last season and third in scoring average (69.128).

How to make 2020 Masters predictions

Johnson is all over a long shot higher than 30-1 who has been playing well at Augusta for many years. He could be poised to win a green jacket, and anyone who backs this underdog could cash in big. See who it is, and get all of Johnson's top PGA picks, right here.
