Scottie Scheffler putting the green jacket on Rory McIlroy at the Masters. AP For the fourth year in a row, Scottie Scheffler is the favorite to win the Masters. The World No. 1 is +500 to win his third Green Jacket, making him the only golfer in the field with single-digit odds.
These short odds are nothing new for Scheffler, who was +450 to win last year, +500 when he won his second Masters in 2024, and 7/1 in 2023.
In somewhat of a surprise, Bryson DeChambeau is the consensus second favorite across the market. The big-hitting LIV star is 10/1 at bet365 Sportsbook, putting him ahead of defending champion Rory McIlroy (11/1).
DeChambeau and McIlroy were in the final pairing on Sunday at last year’s Masters. DeChambeau came undone, while McIlroy held his nerve just enough to win a playoff against Justin Rose.
McIlroy is always a public betting darling, but it will be interesting to see if he attracts the same love from the market that he usually does, considering his form is nowhere near what it was 365 days ago, and the fact that he was dealing with back spasms last month.
Rahm and DeChambeau have combined to win the last three LIV events, and the Spaniard has finished fifth or better in all five of his outings on the renegade tour this season.
Jon Rahm is one of the favorites to win the Masters in 2026. REUTERS Ludvig Aberg (15/1) and Xander Schauffele (17/1) are the only other golfers under 20/1.
Just weeks removed from his win at THE PLAYERS Championship, Cameron Young figures to be a trendy bet at 22/1. The Westchester native is all the way up to No. 3 in the Official World Golf Rankings (which don’t include LIV players), which tells you where his form is at as we head into major season.
A year after losing to McIlroy in a heartbreaking playoff, Rose is 30/1 to win his first Green Jacket. The Englishman was 110/1 at this time last year.
Brooks Koepka, a four-time major champion, is 40/1. Koepka, who returned to the PGA Tour this season, has a mixed history at Augusta. Koepka finished T2 back in 2023, but he’s missed the cut in three of his last five trips down Magnolia Lane.
Other notable prices include Viktor Hovland (45/1), Patrick Cantlay (66/1), and Dustin Johnson (225/1).
