The 2025 Masters gets underway on Thursday, April 10, at Augusta Ną¶£ational Golf Course in š’ŖGeorgia. 

Defending champion Scottie Scheffler is the consensus betting favorite at +450, with Rory McIlroy right behind hā™›im at +650. 

McIlroy, not Scheffler, is the trendiest bet at Augusta this year.

The Masters has been chalky in recent years, with Scheffler winning twice ią¼ŗn three years, including last Aprilź§‘ as the outright favorite, and Jon Rahm taking home top honors at 10/1 in 2023.

Five of the last six winners at Augusta ā™Žwent off as one of the top-five favorites before Round 1.

Will wešŸ‰ see another heavyweight don the green jacket this Sunday? Or will a long shot crash the party on Magnolia Lane?

Below are our favorite picks from across the differeš•“nt ranges on the betting board.

Top of the board: Collin Morikawa (18/1, DraftKings) 

If youā€™re lookiź¦‡ng for the best value among the top 10 favorites, Collin Morikawa is your guy. 

The American is getting thš’ˆ”e fanfare that McIlroy or Scheffler are receiving, but heā€™s should be just as dangerous and heā€™s being offered at triple tź§…he odds.

MorikašŸ”Æwa has two runner-ups and three top-10 finishes in five starts in 2025, and he has yet to finish outside the top-20 at any event this year.

The two-time major champion has three stršŸ”Æaight top-10 finishes at Augusta National, and landed on the podium with a T3 performance last April.

The Mid-Tier: Robert MacIntyre (60/1, DraftKings) 

The sešŸ”ÆcršŸ§œet is out on Robert MacIntyre, but heā€™s still being offered at a terrific price.

The Scottish lefty impressed with a T12 finish on dź§‚ebut in 2021 and then backed that up with š“°a top-25 finish the following year. 

MacIntyre hasnā€™t qualified since then, but that shošŸŽ‰uldnā€™t deter you from backing him with a bet or in your pools since his game clearly translates well to the unique challenges that Augusta presents.

MacIntyreā€™s in good form with a T6, T11ā™›, and ninth-place finish in his last four outings on the PGA Tour, all of which came at challengišŸ’œng events.

Best sleeper: Daniel Berger (110/1, FanDuel)

Itā€™s never been a qušŸ²estion of talent wšŸ’–ith Daniel Berger.

The Florida native was considered one of golfā€™s young guns not too long ago, but back injuries put him on the sidelines for the better part of the lastšŸ’™ three years.

Berger is now fit, firing, and in good form.

The Florida State Seminole was a runner-up at the Waste Management išŸ’n February, starting a streak of six made cuts with fšŸŽƒour top-20 finishes in that span.

Berger is unlikely to win the Masters, but heā€™s someone to consider in pools, įƒ¦DFS, and with a small long-shot punt.

Best bomb: Nick Taylor (275/1, Caesars)

When you get to this part of the betting board, you are looking for small hints or signs that a player could, šŸ’§šŸ­if everything goes his way, stick around on the leaderboard.

For Nick Taylor, those signals are in his ability to close out tournamšŸ™ˆents and play his best golf at the biggest moments.

The Canadian is a five-time winner on the PGA Tour, with three of thešŸ·m coming via playšŸ…off.

The big lights donā€™t seem tš’†™o bother Taylor, as heā€™s collected signature wins at the 2024 Waste Management Phoenix Open and the 2023 Canadian Open.
