Kurt Kitayama Masters Prediction 2023

The 2022-23 PGA Tour has been a massive hit-or-miss campaign for Kitayama. The American pro has failed to post a top-40 finish in five of his 10 tournaments, but he has also earned a runner-up finish at The CJ Cup in South Carolina (October) and an outright win at the Arnold Palmer Invitational (March).

Kitayama's recent success is going to make him a popular long-shot option for bettors. It's best to be careful, though. Kitayama ranks outside the top 50 golfers in Stroke Gained (SG): Total and is playing at Augusta for the first time in his career. Nerves and inexperience are obstacles he has to overcome.

It's not like past golfers haven't gotten close or even won the Masters on their first try. Will Zalatoris was the latest debutant to make an impression by finishing second in 2021. Kitayama has shown he is ready to take the next step, yet backing a top-40 finish (-120) has the most value in this situation.
