Masters betting odds

Here is a futures report with updates on the top golfers in the Masters field. Attached are the best current golf betting odds each golfer.

Scottie Scheffler (+375)

The co-favorite already owns one green jacket from his victory at Augusta two years ago, and he tied for 10th last time around. Besides being ranked No. 1 in the Official World Golf Rankings,  Scheffler is off to an extremely strong start this season with seven top-10 finishes that include wins at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and PLAYERS Championship.  

Rory McIlroy (+1100)

McIlroy’s career accolades include four major championships, but The Masters remains the event he has yet to win. Expect him to make a much better showing after missing the 2023 cut. McIlroy did finish second two years ago.

Jon Rahm (+1200)

The defending Masters champ is among the favorites to win another green jacket. Even though this former world No. 1 has joined LIV Golf, Rahm will attract plenty of betting attention due to his 11 career PGA Tour wins.    

Brooks Koepka (+1200)

Koepka is no stranger to Augusta National, as he’ll be making his ninth career appearance this spring. Koepka (now on the LIV tour) tied for second (-8) with Phil Mickelson at The Masters last time out. 

Wyndham Clark (+1600)

Believe it or not, this year marks the first time Clark is playing in The Masters, Besides being ranked No. 4 in the World Golf Rankings, he has recorded three top-10 results so far this year, with the biggest being a victory at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-AM.

Xander Schauffele (+1800)

Schauffele is off to a hot 2024 start with six top-10 finishes, including a T4 at The Genesis Invitational and a T2 at THE Players Championship. This will be his seventh time playing at Augusta National, with his best performance coming in 2019 (T2).

Jordan Spieth (+2000)

Spieth might not have any recent Tour wins, but it’s hard to ignore the overall success of a golfer with 13 victories and over 50 top-five finishes. The victory list includes taking home the green jacket in 2015. He has hit a recent cold spell that has included an MC at both THE PLAYERS CHAMPIONSHIP and Valspar Championship.

Viktor Hovland (+2200)

Hovland has yet to win a major but is coming off a solid season highlighted by his Tour Championship win. The Norwegian has yet to miss The Masters cut and tied for seventh last time around – the best performance of his young career. Hovland is ranked No. 6 in the Official World Golf Rankings, but his best 2024 showing so far has been a T19 at the Genesis Invitational.

Will Zalatoris (+2400)

Since turning pro in 2018, Zalatoris has just one Tour win – the 2022 FedEx St. Jude Championship. He made a very strong showing at the recent Genesis Invitational with a T2.  

Hideki Matsuyama (+2400)

Matsuyama currently has a shorter pre-tournament price to win the upcoming Masters than he did the year he won the 2021 event (+5000). He has enjoyed some early success this year with a win at the Genesis Invitational, followed by a T6 at THE PLAYERS Championship. 

Ludvig Aberg (+2500)

The Swede is making his Augusta National debut as a pro this year, and The Masters will be his first major. Aberg is ranked No. 9 in the Official World Golf Rankings.

Joaquin Niemann (+2500)

Niemann, 25, is playing in The Masters for the fifth time, with last year’s 16th showing being his best career performance at any major.

Cameron Smith (+2800)

Smith is currently part of the LIV tour but meets the criteria to receive a Masters invite. Overall, he has played well here –  three top-five finishes, including a T-2 in 2020 – but finished T34 in 2023. 

Patrick Cantlay (+2800)

Cantlay has 55 top-10 finishes over the course of his career but has yet to win a major. He had a T14 at Augusta last time around. 

Justin Thomas (+2800)

Thomas opened this year with top-10 finishes at The American Express and AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, but missed the cut at The Genesis and THE PLAYERS. The American is looking to make a better Masters showing after missing the previous cut.  

Collin Morikawa (+3000)

Morikawa has enjoyed 34 top-10 finishes, including a T-10 at last year’s Masters. Two of his six career wins include The Open (2021) and PGA Championship (2020). However, since opening the year with a T5 at The Sentry, Morikawa has two MCs and a T45 at THE PLAYERS.

Dustin Johnson (+3300)

This will be Johnson’s 14th time playing in The Masters, with the best showing coming in 2020 when he won the green jacket. Prior to last year (T48), DJ had a streak of six top-10 results over his previous seven Masters. 

Bryson DeChambeau (+3500)

DeChambeau is no stranger to The Masters’ field with seven previous appearances, but he has missed the cut in back-to-back years. The former U.S. Open champ’s best showing came at the 2021 event (T21).

Tony Finau (+3500)

Finau has turned in some solid performances at Augusta National – three top-10 results in seven appearances. None of his six career wins have come in a major.  

Max Homa (+4000)

Homa, No. 10 in the Official World Golf Rankings, has only one top-10 performance so far this year -T8 at Arnold Palmer Invitational. Even though he is playing in The Masters for the fifth time, Homa’s best showing so far has only been a T43 (last year).

Cameron Young (+4000)

Young is fairly inexperienced playing at Augusta National compared to the other players listed here with just two appearances. After missing the cut the first time around (2022), Young made a much better showing last year with a T7. 

Jason Day (+4000)

Day is no stranger to The Masters, as this will be his 13th appearance overall, and includes a T39 last year. The Aussie’s best Masters finish – T2 – came way back in 2011.

Tiger Woods (+12500)

The five-time Masters champion knows what it takes to win at Augusta National – the most recent being 2019. The question remains if Woods’ body will hold up and be ready to play 72 holes when April 11 rolls around.

Augusta National Course

  • Course: Augusta National Golf Club
  • Location: Augusta, GA
  • Date: April 10 – April 13, 2025
  • Par: 72 / Yardage 7,475
  • Fairways/Rough: Ryegrass

The Masters needs no introduction as its universally known to be the biggest stage in golf. It is the only Major to be played on the same course each year, Augusta National. The formula to find success remains the same year over year. Above-average driving distance is a plus in order to capitalize on scoring opportunities on the par-5s and leave more lofted approach shots into each of the firm and fast greens. The dramatic undulations on and around the green make it nearly impossible to mask any short game short comings. The list of winners over the years has always featured a throughline of players with elite touch around the greens. Course history at The Masters has also proven to be more repeatable than any other tournament each year, so it’s always best to review results in prior years before betting The Masters.

In terms of Course History, Jordan Spieth, Jon Rahm, Rory McIlroy, Dustin Johnson, and Justin Rose highlight the list of players who have repeatedly played well here, continuing to validate the trend of success from players with elite short game and plus driving distance.

The Masters is not a tournament in which bettors will want to go overboard betting longshots. Over the last 10 years, all winners have come at 66-1 odds or shorter, with six of those winners opening at 28-1 odds or shorter. At any Major championship, it’s best to start your betting card with exposure to at least one elite player at the top of the odds board.

How to bet The Masters

Masters betting odds for 2025 were released the day after Scheffler s win last April at the best betting apps.

Masters odds can range from Scheffler at +450 to past champion Fred Couple’s +200000. A $10 bet on each golfer to win the 2025 Masters would return a profit of $45 and $20,000, respectively.

Closer to the start of the tournament, many additional bet types will be released as the field finalizes and first- and second-round groupings and tee times are released. These expanded markets will include two- or three-ball matchups for individual rounds, or for the tournament as a whole.

Matchups will be set for playing partners, golfers with a similar world ranking, or any number of other shared traits. Odds are typically the same for each golfer but can range from -200 to +200 for a return of $5 or $20 on a $10 wager.

Larger pools of golfers will be grouped by world ranking, nationality, or previous results as a form of prop bet. These odds can range from prices closer to even money (+100) or lower to +75000 or longer, depending on the size of the player pool and the degree of variation in their odds to win the tournament outright.

Simpler lines will be set for players to make or miss the cut. These odds will range -700 for Yes to +500 for No for a tournament favorite to closer to even money on each side for a tournament long shot. Similarly, Over/Under lines will be set for specific golfer’s tournament or round scores.

Placing or Finishing Position bets accompany the outright odds for a Top 5, Top 10, Top 20, or Top 40 result. The odds for each golfer in the field will drop with the wider range of their finish.

Straight Forecast betting, popularized in horse racing, is a form of parlay requiring the correct prediction of the finishing order of the winner and runner-up. Wildly difficult, it’s best done in tournaments with one or two top-ranked golfers in a weaker field as a way to boost their individual odds.

Conversely, each-way bets are best used on long shots in star-studded fields such as what’s seen at Augusta. These consist of two wagers on each golfer, with one being for the outright victory and one being for a finish within the Top 3 or Top 5 of the field.

Super Bowl betting markets often include cross-sport bets pitting a player’s receiving or rushing yards against a golfer’s score at the Masters more than two months later.

Betting strategy

Typically occurring early in the PGA Tour season, bettors don’t always have as much information from which to draw as they do for the PGA Championship, US Open and Open Championship.

Course history, current form, and key stats are essential areas of research for any golf tournament but are each especially applicable to the Masters. The only major to be played at the same venue each year and against a similar strength of field, course history is more relevant than anywhere else. The same statistical areas apply each year, but be sure to look at a golfer’s career performance in those stats in combination with their more recent play.

Seasonal results, particularly at the major events and those closest to the 2021 Masters will have great impacts on Masters betting odds. Not only will the bookmakers adjust the odds for the winners and top finishers as they move up the OWGR and 2021 money list, but the odds will also reflect the number of bets and percentage of the betting handle coming in on certain golfers.

Be sure to regularly check-in on the PGA Tour futures odds at multiple books, and always be ready to pounce on discrepancies and inflated numbers as a result of a poor finish or injury.

While futures and outright bets carry the highest Masters betting odds and can result in the largest paydays, they’re incredibly risky. Be sure to always hedge your outright picks and bets against a wider range of props and matchup bets. These safer plays should receive a significantly larger portion of your bankroll.

In-play betting can also help hedge against your futures bets by looking at Strokes Gained data after each round. This data gives a better sense of golfers who could be poised for a big weekend despite their odds remaining high if only narrowly making the cut.

Player performance at Augusta National

Understanding the course and knowing how to play the holes and where to place shots are essential for success at Augusta. So is familiarity with the greens, which is why players with less experience on the course usually don’t fare as well. But forecasting players putting week-to-week can be difficult. Augusta is mostly a second-shot golf course, and while longer hitters have an advantage and playing the par 5s well under par is significant to success, it’s precision ball striking, quality irons and approach play and premium putting with the ability to get the ball in the hole from a distance of 10-feet or less that are keys to success.

Stats to Evaluate

  • Strokes Gained: Around-the-Green
  • Strokes Gained: Putting
  • Ball striking
  • Approach play
  • Scrambling
  • Birdies

Length is an advantage at Augusta, which plays to a par 72 and 7,435 yards but plays longer with a number of uphill holes and the grain of the fairways pointing back towards the tee boxes. The course remains heavily tree-lined, and each hole is named after a flower, plant or tree. The scores can be dictated by the weather and wind, as evidenced by Jordan Spieth (-18) winning in 2015 and Danny Willett (-5)  in 2016.

Since the Masters is played on the same course every year, there are many trends noted. They include:

  • Before Woods won in 2019, each of the previous 11 Masters winners was under the age of 40. Johnson (2020 winner) was 36 when he won and Matsuyama (2021) was 29 when he won.
  • 18 of the last 23 Masters champions made the cut in their previous start on Tour
  • 13 of last 15 Masters champions were ranked inside the world’s top 30
  • 13 of last 14 Masters champions posted a previous top-30 at Augusta

The Bentgrass greens are lightning fast, and typically feature run-off areas, slopes and multiple tiers. This is the ultimate test of ball striking to ensure approaches land on the proper tier and allow for better chances to make birdies.

While the favorites will get much of the media attention and betting action, Patrick Reed (40-1) proved in 2018 that there are plenty of top pros that provide value and have a chance to win and wear the green jacket.
