The Masters CLi Prediction as of 2013-03-06

This is a continuation of the weekly posts I started on January 30th 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.  I have since posted an update each week: Feb 6th, Feb 13th, Feb 20th, and Feb 27th.  Therefore, this is the 6th update of the predictions for next month's Masters.  The tournament is just over a month away.

As with the last two weeks, 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 2013-03-06.

#	Player	Odds
1	Tiger Woods	11/2
2	Rory McIlroy	18/1
3	Charl Schwartzel	18/1
4	Justin Rose	18/1
5	Luke Donald	20/1
6	Matt Kuchar	20/1
7	Lee Westwood	25/1
8	Keegan Bradley	25/1
9	Graeme McDowell	30/1
10	Phil Mickelson	30/1
11	Bubba Watson	30/1
12	Nick Watney	30/1
13	Webb Simpson	30/1
14	Ian Poulter	30/1
15	Rickie Fowler	30/1

Tiger stayed on top with the best odds.  Actually, the first 4 players didn't change as compared to last week's odds: Woods, McIlroy, Schwartzel, and Rose.  Oosthuizen fell out of the top 15, and Donald and Kuchar were big movers up.  Mickelson and Watson moved into the top 15 as well.

Here are the top 15 players in the CLi rankings for the 2013 Masters as of 2013-03-06.

#	Player	CLi
1	Phil Mickelson	1.75
2	Jason Day	3.50
3	Tiger Woods	5.00
4	Matt Kuchar	6.50
5	Charl Schwartzel	8.25
6	Brandt Snedeker	9.25
7	Hunter Mahan	9.50
8	Steve Stricker	14.00
9	Justin Rose	15.50
10	Lee Westwood	15.75
11	Luke Donald	16.75
12	Ryan Moore	16.75
13	Bubba Watson	16.75
14	Fred Couples	17.50
15	Fredrik Jacobson	17.75

Mickelson has regained the top spot after being moved to 2nd place last week.  As a result, Day moved down a spot to 2nd.  Tiger moved up to 3rd from 5th.  Stricker and Rose also moved up several spots.  Westwood was a big mover, placing 10th this week after not being in the top 15 last week.  The last time Westwood was in the top 15h was back on Feb 13th.  Jacobson moved down from 9th to 15th.
