Jon Rahm (57%) vs. Bryson DeChambeau (43%)

Jon Rahm has dominated the LIV Tour this season, finishing in the top-5 in every single event including a win at LIV Hong Kong. Rahm is a former winner of the Masters, and has multiple top-10s in the major. Bryson has won the last two LIV events, LIV South Africa and LIV Singapore. He is also coming off of back-to-back top-10s at Augusta.

Buy or Sell?: BUY Bryson DeChambeau 43%

Scottie Scheffler (63%) vs. Rory McIlroy (37%)

Scottie Scheffler has been having a "down year" if you used his past as reference. This includes two top-5 finishes, no finishes worse than 24th, and a win at the American Express. Scottie has never had a finish worse than 19th at the Masters, rationalizing his large lead in odds vs. Rory. McIlroy is the defending champion at the Masters, although he is coming off of a T46 at The Players and a WD at the Arnold Palmer Invitational.

Buy or Sell?: BUY Scottie Scheffler 63%
