Welcome to the biggest gambling event on the golfing calendar.

The 2025 Masters tees off on Thursday, April 10, at Augusta National in Georgia. 

Scottie Scheffler, the defending champion and two-time winner, is the betting favorite with +400 odds at DraftKings.

He is looking to become the second player (Jack Nicklaus) to win three green jackets in a four-year span.

Scheffler was the +500 favorite ahead of his win a year ago.

He had the fourth-shortest odds (16/1) when he won his first green jacket in 2022. 

This will be the third year in a row that Scheffler tees off as the outright favorite at Augusta. 

Rory McIlroy is the second favorite with +650 odds.

The Northern Irishman has famously never won the Masters, but he does have plenty of good history at Augusta. McIlroy finished T2 in 2022 and has six other top-10 finishes.

McIlroy has been in terrific form to start 2025, compiling two wins (AT&T Pebble Beach, The Players) and two top-five finishes in six starts.

Jon Rahm, the 2023 champion, is the third choice at 13/1.

Rahm defected to LIV at the end of 2023 and has finished T9 or better in all five of his starts on the renegade tour this season. Rahm is the only LIV golfer listed with odds less than 18/1. 

Some other notable LIV golfers are Bryson DeChambeau (18/1), Joaquin Niemann (35/1), Cam Smith (60/1), Dustin Johnson (100/1) and Phil Mickelson (110/1).

It’s expected that Scheffler and McIlroy will be among the most popular bets this week, but other players you can expect to be trendy are Ludvig Aberg (20/1), Tommy Fleetwood (40/1) and Min Woo Lee (60/1).
