2021 Masters Pool Setup
* Excel tools and online tools are included to help manage different formats. For you Excel wizards out there, I’m sure there’s a way to automate these spreadsheets a bit more. Please comment below or email easyofficepools@gmail.com if you have a great Excel solution that would be beneficial for this and I can post it.
Here are the 4 options:
| #1 – Random Selection | Tools |
| This is the simplest option. Put names of all the golfers in the field into a hat (or into an Excel Spreadsheet, like the one to the right with the field for 2021). Each person draws a golfer until all golfers have been picked. Whoever has the winning golfer wins the pool. | Tab 1 |
#2 – 6 Tiers, Use 4 (recommended option) | |
| This is my favorite option because it involves some strategy but is still simple. Each person selects one golfer from each of the 6 tiers. Tiers are organized based on the world rankings. Once the tournament is completed you take the best four of your six scores and add them together to get your final score. Whoever has the lowest total wins. Any golfer that doesn’t make the cut gets an 80 for rounds 3 and 4, respectively. Choose the winning score as a tiebreaker (for example, if the winner posts -12, whoever guessed closest wins the tiebreaker). | Tab 2 Manage this format online |
#3 – Snake Draft, Choose 5 Use 4 | |
| This one involves a bit more effort because you have to organize a draft. Start by drawing from a hat to determine the order of the draft. Once determined, conduct your draft with the snake format (for example, if you have 3 people, the draft order is 1,2,3,3,2,1,1,2,3,3,2,1,1,2,3). Each player chooses the best golfer still available when it’s their turn to draft. Once the tournament is completed you take the best four of your five scores and add them together to get your final score. Whoever has the lowest total wins. Any golfer that doesn’t make the cut gets assigned a score of 80 for rounds 3 and 4. Choose the winning score as a tiebreaker (for example, if the winner posts -12, whoever guessed closest wins the tiebreaker). | Tab 3 |
#4 – Handicapped, Choose 5 Use 4 | |
| This once gets a little trickier because it penalizes players according to their ability (or odds of winning). Each person chooses any 5 golfers from the field. The golfers handicap as subtracted from their final score (for example, if you select Tiger in 2013 you have to add 10 strokes to his score). Once the tournament is completed you take the best four of your five scores and add them together to get your final score. Whoever has the lowest total wins. Any golfer that doesn’t make the cut gets assigned the highest scores from rounds 3 and 4, respectively. Choose the winning score as a tiebreaker (for example, if the winner posts -12, whoever guessed closest wins the tiebreaker). | Tab 4 |
Odds for the Masters can be pulled from vegasinsider.com at a point in time. Normally the field is not set until the Sunday prior to the tournament.
Each format listed above can be used to run an office golf pool for any of the major golf tournaments. In addition to the Masters, hosting office pools for the British Open, US Open, and the PGA Championship can help bolster office camaraderie friendly banter.

It may be several months late, but the 2020 Masters is finally here, bringing it with several enticing storylines and betting odds.
That starts with Bryson DeChambeau, the favorite to win at Augusta National Golf Club after his win in the 2020 U.S. Open in September. His power-based approach to the game has been controversial to say the least, but you can't deny its effectiveness in recent outings.
Other golfers to look out for include 2020 FedEx Cup Champion Dustin Johnson, world No. 2 Jon Rahm and, of course, Tiger Woods — the 2019 champion looking for not only his second consecutive Masters win but also his record-tying sixth green jacket.
With that, here's everything you need to know to bet on the 2020 Masters, including odds and past winners:
