Prop plays:
Have had more time to research the UK Betting stat props and have some more to add. With the driving distance props, this year's driving stats are more important than past years at Augusta because of the changes in technology, whereas previous experience at Augusta is more important for the putting stats than current years because of the nature of the greens. A five-year history is looked at for the putting stats rather than three years. Rather than looking at the PGA Tour stats which are a yearly average and can be quite volatile at this early stage of the year, I have looked at stats in common events where both players have made the cut (I do not have the stats for players who missed the cut in each event). This way I can compare players playing in similar conditions regarding the weather and the course.
All plays are combined with one prop in particular:
Tiger Woods to have a longer average driving distance than David Duval -200
Three common events this year and Woods is 3-0: 19 yards longer at the Mercedes; 3 yards longer at the Bay Hill Invitational; and 9 yards longer at the Players Championship. In the last three years at Augusta, Tiger is also 3-0: 15 yards longer in 2001; 26 yards longer in 2000; and 14 yards longer in 1999.
This play is combined with the following with the combined odds displayed:
Fred Couples to have a longer average driving distance than Stuart Appleby +159
Two common events this year and Couples is 2-0: 2 yards longer at the Sony Open and 9 yards longer at the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic. In the last three years, Couples is 1-0: 10 yards longer in 2001.
Scott McCarron to have a longer average driving distance than Vijay Singh +175 [2 units]
Five common events this year and McCarron is 4-1: 4 yards longer at the Phoenix Open; 6 yards longer at the AT&T Pebble Beach; 17 yards longer at the Nissan Open; 1 yard longer at the Bay Hill Invitational; and 6 yards shorter at the BellSouth Classic. In the last three years at Augusta, McCarron is 1-0; 6 yards longer in 1999.

Four common events this year and Kelly is 4-0: 11 yards longer at the Sony Open; 1 yard longer at the Nissan Open; 0.1 yards longer at the Bay Hill Invitational; and 6 yards longer at the Players Championship. Kelly is making his Masters debut this week.

BTW, you have to use the messaging facility and email the doubles with Woods and the putting props as their software won't allow combination bets across different pages.
), by the way their margins are a disgrace!!
