Predictions and Betting Likelihoods for The Masters' Tournament: Front-Runners, Potential Surprises, and High-Risk Choices
The 88th edition of the Masters Tournament is fast approaching, and golf enthusiasts are eagerly anticipating the action at Augusta National Golf Club. With the tournament just around the corner, let's take a look at the current betting odds and contenders for the coveted green jacket.
Favorites
Scottie Scheffler leads the market as the favourite, with odds around +450 to +500, depending on the sportsbook. Despite a somewhat down year by his standards, Scheffler's consistent performances have kept him at the top [1]. Rory McIlroy follows closely as the second favourite, with odds approximately +650 to +700. McIlroy has been improving towards the end of his last event at the Texas Open [4].
Bryson DeChambeau, a member of the LIV Golf, is also among the top contenders, with odds of +1400 to +1600. DeChambeau has finished in the Top 10 in each of his last four events [7]. Ludvig Aberg, ranked 9th in the world and 9th in the FedEx Cup rankings, has odds of +2800 to win the 2024 Masters [2]. Aberg, the 2024 runner-up, is seen as a potential value bet by experts [1]. Jon Rahm and Collin Morikawa also posted mid-range odds at +1400 and +1800, respectively [3].
Possible Upsets / Longshot Picks
Players like Justin Thomas (+2500), Hideki Matsuyama (+3000), and Brooks Koepka (+3000) could be considered longshots with potential upside [3]. Lesser-known or boom-or-bust players such as Ben Griffin (at the BMW Championship, +4000 range) could be examples of high-risk, high-reward picks, though not directly listed for the Masters [2].
Longshots
The Masters Longshots include Bryson DeChambeau with odds of +4000, Tyrell Hatton with odds of +5500, and Patrick Reed with odds of +6500 [5]. Reed, known as Captain America, is a member of the LIV and finished in the Top 10 in Miami as well [6].
Viktor Hovland, the 6th ranked player in the world, has odds of +3500 to win the 2024 Masters [5]. Dustin Johnson has odds of +3500 to win the 2024 Masters [5].
