2025 Masters Odds and Predictions – Favorites & Longshots

Scottie Scheffler (+425)

Scottie has had a special run in recent years on the PGA Tour, with some even calling it Tiger-like. He’s held the world No. 1 ranking for 128 weeks straight, racked up 13 wins over the past three seasons, including two Masters titles (2022 & 2024), and even added an Olympic gold medal to his résumé in 2024.

It’s no surprise that sportsbooks have him as the favorite to shine once again at Augusta.

Recent Form

Scottie capped off 2024 with his ninth win of the year, claiming victory at the Tiger Woods-hosted Hero World Challenge in December. After a brief injury layoff, he’s returned with top-25 finishes in all five starts this season. He tied for 11th at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, despite ranking 49th in putting among the 51 players who made the cut.

His tee-to-green game remains unmatched, and if he starts sinking putts, the rest of the field could be in serious trouble.

Scottie Scheffler Stats: 2024 vs. 2025

Scheffler was on another level in 2024, ranking first in SG: Total, SG: Tee-to-Green, and SG: Approach and dominating the tour with just average putting. As we enter the 2025 major, his ball-striking isn’t quite where it was, but is still at elite levels.

He struggled with the driver early in the season, but led the field in SG: Off-the-Tee at The Arnold Palmer Invitational, finishing T-11 despite ranking 49th in putting out of the 51 players that made the cut.

Now, his biggest challenge is sharpening his short game—an essential skill at Augusta, where precision around the greens is crucial. If he pairs his elite tee-to-green play with a more reliable touch on the greens, he’ll be a major threat on Sunday.

At +425, his odds suggest a 19% win probability—steep in such a loaded Masters field. While it would be a shock if he doesn’t secure a major in 2025, his current form, particularly with the putter, raises doubts about whether Augusta will be the one.

Rory McIlroy (+575)

Few players in golf history have been as consistently elite as Rory McIlroy, yet the Masters remains the one that got away. He’s had seven career top-10 finishes at Augusta, including a runner-up finish in 2022, but that elusive green jacket has continued to slip through his fingers.

Recent Form

The start of McIlroy’s 2025 season has been one of the strongest of his career, headlined by a statement playoff victory at THE PLAYERS and a commanding win at Pebble Beach earlier in the year.

Even on his off weeks, he rarely finishes outside the top 15, showcasing his ability to stay in contention regardless of form. His T17 at The Genesis Invitational and T15 at Bay Hill weren’t his best, but once again, he was right in the mix.

Right now, there’s a strong case for him being the best golfer in the world. The lingering question, however, is whether he can handle the pressure. His infamous final-round collapse at Augusta in 2011 is revisited every year, and with an 11-year major drought, the weight of expectation only continues to grow.

Rory McIlroy’s Stats: 2024 vs. 2025

McIlroy’s long game has been dominant in 2025, leading the PGA Tour in SG: Total and ranking in the top three for SG: Tee-to-Green and SG: Off-the-Tee. His ball-striking remains as sharp as ever, and he’s hitting greens in regulation at a career-best rate.

This season, his focus has been on becoming a more “complete player,” prioritizing greater control over his golf ball. He has openly admitted drawing inspiration from Scheffler’s recent success, integrating key strategic elements of Scottie’s game that have contributed to his dominance.

That evolution was on full display at TPC Sawgrass, where McIlroy gained 7.78 strokes on the field with his approach play and 4.96 strokes on the greens—an uncharacteristic but significant shift. It’s a departure from the McIlroy of old, signaling a more well-rounded and adaptable game.

Currently ranked 15th in SG: Putting for 2025, McIlroy is enjoying his best season on the greens since 2019. Back then, he ranked 16th in SG: Putting, won the FedEx Cup, claimed the Vardon Trophy for the lowest scoring average on tour, and was named PGA Tour Player of the Year.

At +575 odds to win the Masters, McIlroy is one of the strongest picks in the field. The question is no longer about his talent or form; it’s about whether he can rise to the occasion on golf’s biggest stage when it matters most.

Ludvig Åberg (+1200)

The young Swede has taken the golf world by storm, and sportsbooks have noticed. After an incredible runner-up finish in his Masters debut in 2024, Åberg has cemented himself as a legitimate contender in major championships.

His elite ball-striking and calm demeanor make him a natural fit for Augusta, and his recent form suggests he could go one step further in 2025.

Recent Form

Åberg’s 2024 Masters debut was historic, as he became the first player since Jordan Spieth in 2014 to finish runner-up in his first trip to Augusta.

His 2025 season started with a T5 finish at The Sentry, but he struggled at Torrey Pines (T42) and withdrew from Pebble Beach. However, he bounced back in a big way, winning The Genesis Invitational and securing his first PGA Tour victory.

Since then, he’s finished T22 at Bay Hill and missed the cut with a disappointing performance at THE PLAYERS, suggesting he’s still looking for consistency as Augusta approaches.

Ludvig Åberg’s Stats: 2024 vs. 2025

While Åberg’s off-the-tee game remains among the best on tour (10th in SG: Off-the-Tee), his approach play has taken a significant hit, ranking 104th in SG: Approach the Green—an area of concern at Augusta, where precise iron shots are essential. His short game has also been a weakness, ranking 138th in SG: Around-the-Green and actively losing strokes to the field, which could make scrambling on Augusta’s undulating greens a real challenge.

That said, his elite driving and past success at Augusta can’t be overlooked. However, at +1100 odds to win the Masters, the value isn’t quite there. Åberg has the talent to contend for majors in the years ahead, but unless he sharpens his approach play before Augusta, this might be just a bit too soon for his breakthrough victory.

1. Tyrrell Hatton (+3500)

Tyrrell Hatton has thrived on the DP World Tour, shined in Ryder Cups, and checked nearly every career box—except a major win. Augusta could be where he breaks through. He finished T-9 at the 2024 Masters, proving he can handle the course, and opened 2025 with a clutch victory at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic. If he’s in the hunt on Sunday, his mindset and form make him a real contender. At +3500 odds, he offers solid value.

2. Robert MacIntyre (+6000)

The left-hander trend at Augusta is impossible to ignore—Phil Mickelson (3x champion), Bubba Watson (2x champion), and Mike Weir have all won the green jacket this century.

MacIntyre could be the next to follow in their footsteps. Now firmly established on tour after winning two national opens last year—the Canadian and his own, the Scottish—he’s showing impressive recent form with a T-11 at The Arnold Palmer Invitational and a 9th-place finish at THE PLAYERS.

Augusta rewards creativity and shot-shaping, and MacIntyre’s Scottish roots have instilled both in his game. Twice inside the top-25 at Augusta, at +6000 odds, he’s a compelling longshot to watch in the Masters betting markets.

3. Corey Conners (+6600)

Rarely in the spotlight, he flies under the radar with his unassuming personality but is widely regarded as one of the elite ball-strikers on tour. A PGA Tour winner as recently as April 2023, he’s rounding into serious form with a 3rd-place finish at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and a T-6 at THE PLAYERS. His track record at Augusta is equally compelling, with three consecutive top-10 finishes from 2020 to 2022.

At +6600, he offers incredible value—without a doubt, my standout sleeper pick for the 2025 Masters.

4. Keegan Bradley (+10000)

The 2025 U.S. Ryder Cup captain is playing so well, he might just make his own team. Bradley has been in outstanding form, racking up 5 top-20 finishes already this season, and he’s no stranger to Augusta, with two career top-25 finishes at the Masters. At +10000 odds, he offers huge value for your Masters predictions, especially for a highly driven player in this kind of form.

5. Sergio Garcia (+10000)

At 45 years old, Garcia is certainly in the later stages of his career, but the 2017 Masters champion has proven he can still compete at a high level. His recent LIV Golf win in Hong Kong silenced critics who question whether he is simply there to collect a paycheck. With decades of Augusta experience and solid form, Garcia is a sneaky longshot who could surprise—and at +10000, why not add him to your Masters predictions?
