Masters Odds for Gamecock Superfan Dustin Johnson

The South Carolina Gamecocks won’t have any alumni in the field at the 2025 Masters this weekend in Augusta, Ga., but one of their most passionate fans will be competing.

Dustin Johnson, the former Coastal Carolina star and longtime Gamecock superfan, has never been shy about his support for South Carolina. Whether it’s the Gamecock-logo scorecard holder he carries on tour or the time he was the celebrity guest picker on ESPN’s College GameDay where he made it crystal clear he was picking against Clemson Johnson wears his pride proudly.

A two-time major winner, Johnson earned his green jacket in 2020 and also claimed the U.S. Open title in 2016. Now playing on the LIV Golf tour, he was the league’s 2022 points and money list winner and currently ranks second all-time in LIV career earnings with $44.4 million and counting.

He returns to Augusta this week aiming for another run at a green jacket, but oddsmakers have him as a long shot.

Masters Betting Snapshot – Dustin Johnson

At +10000 odds, Johnson is a true longshot to win this year’s Masters but there are still ways to bet on him smartly. A top-30 finish (+125) or even a top-40 (-150) might offer better value. Even betting him to make the cut (-170) could be a solid play if you’re backing DJ to hang around through the weekend.

Red Kettle Campaign short 0K of goal as it enters its final days

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – The Salvation Army of Augusta’s Red Kettle Campaign is working to close a $100,000 gap before Christmas Eve.

With just 11 days left in the 2025 Red Kettle Campaign, the Salvation Army of Augusta is urging the community to rally together.

The Red Kettle Campaign is the largest fundraiser of the year for The Salvation Army.

The campaign funds programs and services that support neighbors in need throughout the entire year.

Every penny donated through the Red Kettles stays in the Augusta area, ensuring local impact.

Proceeds from the campaign directly support the Center of Hope. In addition to providing a safe place to sleep, the Center of Hope operates a soup kitchen that serves approximately 200 meals every day.

In the past year, the Salvation Army has assisted more than 900 local residents through its rent and utility assistance program.

“The Red Kettle represents so much more than a simple donation—it represents hope for families right here in our community,” said Major Jonathan Raymer, Area Commander for The Salvation Army of Augusta.

“Every dollar dropped into the kettle helps provide shelter, meals, case management, and stability for our neighbors who need it most. With just days left in this campaign, we are asking the CSRA to show up in a big way.”

The Salvation Army of Augusta is encouraging community members to donate when they see a Red Kettle. For those who are cashless, donations can be made online at donateaugusta.org.
