The Masters CLi Prediction as of 2013-02-20

This is a continuation of the weekly posts I started several weeks ago in which I post the current Golf CLi calculations for the 2013 Masters.  The post was spurred by Alex Miceli's article regarding the current odds for the tournament.

As with last week, I didn't see Alex post an updated version of the Vegas odds, so I grabbed them from another web site this week.

Here are the odds for the top 15 players for the 2013 Masters as of 2013-02-19.

#	Player	Odds
1	Tiger Woods	10/1
2	Rory McIlroy	12/1
3	Charl Schwartzel	15/1
4	Luke Donald	15/1
5	Ian Poulter	20/1
6	Hunter Mahan	25/1
7	Louis Oosthuizen	25/1
8	Adam Scott	25/1
9	Justin Rose	25/1
10	Lee Westwood	25/1
11	Martin Kaymer	30/1
12	Jason Dufner	30/1
13	Matt Kuchar	30/1
14	Keegan Bradley	30/1
15	Webb Simpson	30/1

The big change in the Vegas odds this week is that Mickelson dropped out of the top 15 for some reason.  He was third last week.  Poulter moved to 5th place this week.  He wasn't in the top 15 last week.

Here are the top 15 players in the CLi rankings for the 2013 Masters as of 2013-02-20.

#	Player	CLi
1	Phil Mickelson	3.75
2	Charl Schwartzel	5.50
3	Jason Day	8.25
4	Brandt Snedeker	9.25
5	Tiger Woods	9.50
6	Bubba Watson	12.50
7	Hunter Mahan	13.75
8	Matt Kuchar	14.00
9	Steve Stricker	14.00

12	Fredrik Jacobson	16.50
13	Fred Couples	17.25
14	Ryan Moore	18.25
15	Rory McIlroy	19.75

Compared to last week, the top four stayed the same (Mickelson, Schwartzel, Day, and Snedeker).  Woods moved up two spots from 7th to 5th, and Mahan moved from 13th to 7th.
