2025 Masters Tournament Odds, Picks, Predictions: Final Bets, Betting Card, OAD

The first major of 2025 is finally here. Augusta National takes center stage to host the 2025 Masters this Thursday. Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy headline among Masters bets this week. John Haslbauer provides his favorite PGA Tour picks from the available golf odds. Below, you’ll find each player’s best odds at legal betting sites.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year. After a week of over-analyzing every trend, data point, driving range shot, and press quotes, golf’s best has finally come to tee it up. The 2025 Masters is just about underway.

Whenever we converge the PGA and LIV tours, we must look beyond the model and insert some subjectivity. Not many players have what it takes to withstand the challenge and pressure that Augusta National presents. And with some of the stickiest course history in golf, we have a pretty clear understanding of the top contenders who can pass the test of Driving Distance, Long Iron Approach Player, showcasing elite touch around the greens, and Par-5 Scoring. We’ll also look at performance in recent majors.

We’ll go through all the bets I’ve placed at the 2025 Masters.

HOW I BUILT MY masters BETTING CARD

Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy headline the 2025 Masters, soaking up roughly 60-70% of the win equity, according to DataGolf. I can picture a world where neither win this week, but it’s going to take a great player in form to stop them. As a result, I’ve built my betting card around the two players I believe have the best case to challenge Scheffler and McIlroy this week.

With all of that in mind, I’ve upped the ante just a bit with my betting card exposure to match the significance of a major championship sweat at the 2025 Masters:

• Outrights — 4U in to pay 30U each
• FRL — 0.8U in to pay out 12U+ each
• Props — 3U in to pay out 4U+ each

Collin Morikawa

My bet: +1800
Best available odds:

Collin Morikawa does not fit any of the criteria for your typical Augusta National stalwart. He lacks distance, is limited with his short game, and is not a stone-cold closer. And yet, he remains one of just three players in this field who have posted top-10 finishes at this event in each of the last three years.

Morikawa’s superpower is his elite iron play, but the short game this season has elevated him to a top-20 floor. He leads the TOUR in SG: T2G this season and did enough to win twice at the Sentry and Arnold Palmer Invitational, if not for the spike final rounds from Hideki Matsuyama and Russell Henley. I’m less concerned about the two-time major champion’s ability to close than others seem to be, and I believe Morikawa has the highest floor of anyone in the field this week outside of Scheffler.

Jon Rahm

My bet: +2000
Best available odds:

My featured spotlight player for the 2025 Masters, members of TheLines Discord were able to hop on the generous 20-1 odds on Saturday for the 2023 champion. That number has understandably come down since then, but Rahm remains the dark horse in my eyes to look out for this week. His resume at Augusta is as good as it gets, finishing in the top 10 in five of his last seven appearances, including the 2023 victory. Rahm has finished in the top 10 in every LIV event this season.

It’s tough to say how that form compares to his preceding form in prior years when playing a full TOUR schedule. But suffice it to say he is in control of his game.

I’m going to give Rahm a pass for his T45 showing at this event last year, whether due to the distractions in the media around his recent move to LIV, his obligations as a past champion, or the inclement weather conditions. Rahm has much to prove this week, as he’ll set out to remind golf fans that there are still a big three of elite golfers in this era.

Sepp Straka

My bet: +8000
Best available odds:

The Georgia native by way of Austria checks all the boxes you want to see from a longshot prospect at the Masters. Straka picked up a win earlier this season at the American Express to prove he is a capable closer. He has steadily improved at Augusta each year as he gains more experience on these grounds, posting a career-best T16 last year. He is also one of the most consistent ball-strikers in this field, ranking in the top five in SG: T2G, SG: APP, SG: Ball Striking, Par-5 Scoring, and Recent Form (SG: TOT L16, L36). Already a fixture on the European Ryder Cup team this season, Straka can elevate himself into an elite class of golfers on TOUR with a win this week.

Patrick Reed

My bet: +10000
Best available odds:

One of the most consistent players at Augusta National over the years, Patrick Reed has delivered top-15 finishes in five of his last eight appearances. His form leading this week is as good as ever over that stretch, with three top-10 finishes over his last four starts. Reed is not your prototypical bomber, but the Augusta State alum has proven to be one of, if not the best, at understanding these nuanced greens. The more these greens firm up and bake out over this week, the more I lean to these short-game specialists who can reliably scramble to save par. Reed ranks No. 1 in SG: ARG over the last 36 rounds and on comp Firm & Fast Bent greens.

Cameron Young

My bet: +20000
Best available odds:

We all know what Cameron Young’s floor looks like. He’s finished inside the top 60 three times over 10 starts in 2025. But majors are entirely different animals, and for whatever reason, Young has built an imposing resume in them, regardless of his form leading in. He has finished in the top 10 in his last two trips to Augusta. That alone is enough justification for me to hop on board at 200-1 odds, given all we know about repeatable course history at Augusta National. Young has five top-10 finishes in majors since 2022 and showed a return to form in his latest start with a top-20 finish at the Valero Texas Open.

Harris English

My bet: +25000
Best available odds:

A winner at Torrey Pines earlier this season, English has proven he can conquer a long and challenging setup where par is a good score and scrambling is emphasized. English has also picked up a victory at the 2021 Sentry, a course that loosely captures the feel of Augusta with its massive property, exposure to gusting winds, and tight lies around oversized, undulated greens. English remains in solid ball-striking form and is fully capable of gaining across all four Strokes Gained categories at Augusta National. He’s finished in the top 40 in the last four years.

the masters BETS: FIRST-ROUND LEADER (0.7 UNITS)

Will Zalatoris

My bet: +4500
Best available odds:

It’s hard to say what version of Will Zalatoris we will get at Augusta National this week. At his best, there is no course better catered to Zalatoris’ skillsets, given his driving ability, elite long iron play, and short game touch around tight lies. Unfortunately, we haven’t seen Zalatoris piece it together for four rounds so that I will keep my exposure to the Masters stalwart in the first round only.

Tony Finau

My bet: +5500
Best available odds:

Tony Finau, where he be now? The top of the leaderboard after Thursday? Like Zalatoris, Finau has struggled to piece four consistent rounds together in 2025 but is a player who always seems to find his game anyway at Augusta National. He has the distance to score on the par 5s, and the experience needed to put a good opening round together.

Sepp Straka

My bet: +7500
Best available odds:

When my friends asked which longshot to bet, I directed them to Sepp Straka FRL. It remains to be seen if Straka can contend at Augusta, and it may be asking too much for him to outduel Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy. Still, I have fewer reservations about his ability to post a number on Thursday. Straka is in elite form from tee to green, leading in and ranking in the top five in par-5 scoring, a prerequisite to going low at Augusta National.

Aaron Rai

My bet: +8000
Best available odds:

Aaron Rai is finally set to make his Masters debut this week. Given his severe lack of driving distance, it’s not an ideal fit for his game, but his elite approach form should help create scoring opportunities, especially on the shorter par 3s here.

Cameron Young

My bet: +9000
Best available odds:

Cameron Young was your first-round leader at St. Andrews despite entering without signs of form that week, so this is my favorite market to play him in this week. Young has a transcendent distance that will create ample birdie looks in round one. He needs to stave off the blow-up holes.

the masters: PROPS (3.0 UNITS)

Top Continental European Player: Jon Rahm

My bet: +230
Best available odds:

In this market against Ludvig Aberg, Viktor Hovland, Sepp Straka, and Sergio Garcia, I believe Rahm is in a class of his own. I also happen to be much lower on Aberg and Hovland than the market consensus this week, so I’m drawn to the value in this prop. Assuming Rahm has gotten his “floor” Augusta performance out of his system last year, I expect him to finish top 10 this week.

Top-20 Finish: Harris English

My bet: +400
Best available odds:

With two top-25 finishes over the last three years, English is not far off from finding himself in contention at this homecoming Georgia event. He was calm under pressure at the Farmers Insurance Open in January and can gain across all Strokes Gained categories at Augusta National, a key sign for a top-20 floor.

Top Asian Player: Byeong Hun An

My bet: +500
Best available odds:

Someone who has not been talked about enough this week, Byeong Hun An profiles better for Augusta National than his countrymates from a stat standpoint. An is a bomber with an elite touch around the greens and has continued to trend well this season with top-16 finishes in two of his last three starts. He is longer off the tee than Matsuyama, Im, and Tom Kim and looked strong at the 2024 Masters, where he finished T16.

Top Debutant: Maverick McNealy

My bet: +800
Best available odds:

Now, as an OWGR top-10 player, McNealy should be the favorite in this market, in my opinion. However, you’ll find a nice discount on him here as he’s priced behind Davis Thompson, Taylor Pendrith, and Aaron Rai. McNealy’s combination of driving distance, reliable short game, and more recent win equity all draw me back to him in this market.

ONE AND DONE

My pick: Jon Rahm

This is the hardest week of the year for me to project ownership in OAD. The presence of LIV has changed the dynamic of OAD strategy as we know it, as there are only four weeks each year when we have the option to play Rahm, DeChambeau, Niemann, Smith, and Hatton. That should, in theory, inflate the ownership of Rahm and DeChambeau in particular so players can keep elite TOUR players available in high-purse events for later on in the year.

The Masters, despite its significance, is not the highest-priced event of the year. The purse is lower than the other three majors and TOUR Signature events, so that gives me pause to roll out players like Scheffler and McIlroy, who will have a more significant opportunity to claim a higher prize pool later in the year.

By that logic, I would expect Rahm’s ownership to be high, but it would surprise me if he were the highest. I’m bullish on his chances this week and think this is a reasonably conservative choice for OAD pools.

I would also consider playing Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, or Bryson DeChambeau in OAD, if not Jon Rahm.
