The 2024 edition will be held Thursday, April 11, to Sunday, April<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>14, with a total purse of $18 million with the winner taking home $3.24 million along with the<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>coveted Masters Green Jacket. Not since Tiger Woods (+350) in 2013 has there been a bigger<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>favorite at Augusta. In fact, Woods was +450 or better at every Masters from 2000 to 2013.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scottie Scheffler has been the best golfer on the planet in the last year and is the overwhelming<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>favorite to continue his hot streak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Scottie Scheffler (+500)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his last three events, Scottie Scheffler has won twice, and finished second in the other. He\u2019s<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>finished in the top 20 in all of his eight starts this season, and has seven top ten finishes to boot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many sportsbooks have him as the most wager for the Masters. After winning in 2022, Scheffler<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>finished tied for tenth last season in his bid to go back-to-back at The Masters. The way he\u2019s<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>been playing, he\u2019ll likely be in contention, but at these short odds, you may want to swing your<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>attention elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jon Rahm (+1200)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In recent years, many believe Jon Rahm\u2019s game was perfect for Augusta National and it<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>wouldn\u2019t be long before we saw him dawn the Green Jacket. And that\u2019s what he did last year<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>with a final-round comeback. But he moved to LIV Golf this season, where he hasn\u2019t won an<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>event yet, but has had 4 top-10 finishes in four starts. He is the defending champion, and<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>should be eager to defend his title against the world\u2019s best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rory McIlroy (+1200)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s the one major that has eluded Rory McIlroy. A second place finish in 2022 followed by a<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>horrible 2023 tournament where he missed the cut by several shots. He hasn\u2019t lit 2024 on fire<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>but surely he\u2019s targeted this tournament on the calendar and can he finally slay the dragon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He\u2019s always been a very popular bet with the public and this year shouldn\u2019t be any different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tiger Woods (+125000)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tiger Woods will likely play but finishing the tournament or winning, well, that\u2019s a tall order for<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>the 5-time champion. His odds are long but for some bettors they may want to drop some cash<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>on him for nostalgic reasons. He withdrew last year, and finished 47th in 2022. The better<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>wager may be if he makes the cut in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Odds to Win The 2024 Masters<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scottie Scheffler +450<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rory McIlroy +1200<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jon Rahm +1500<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brooks Koepka +2000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Xander Schauffele +2000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jordan Spieth +2500<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hideki Matsuyama +2800<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Viktor Hovland +3000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Will Zalatoris +3000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Joaquin Niemann +3000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wyndham Clark +3000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Justin Thomas +3300<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tiger Woods +12500<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Recent Winners and Closing Odds<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>YEAR WINNER CLOSING ODDS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2023 Jon Rahm +900<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2022 Scottie Scheffler +1,800<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2021 Hideki Matsuyama +5,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2020 Dustin Johnson +800<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2019 Tiger Woods +1,200<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2018 Patrick Reed +4,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2017 Sergio Garcia +3,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2016 Danny Willett +5,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2015 Jordan Spieth +1,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2014 Bubba Watson +2,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the latest <a href=\"https:\/\/sports.betonline.ag\/sportsbook\/futures-and-props\/futures\/the-masters\">2024 Masters odds visit BetOnline<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is golf\u2019s most prestigious major and the Masters is also one of the most heavily wagered sporting events of&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":24828,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[142],"tags":[154,191],"class_list":["post-24827","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-golf","tag-golf","tag-the-masters"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24827","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24827"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24827\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24829,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24827\/revisions\/24829"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24828"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24827"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24827"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24827"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
