The 2025 Masters is set to begin in Augusta, Georgia, on Thursday, and defending champion Scottie Scheffler is once again the favorite to win the first major of the year at +450 odds at BetMGM.
Scheffler won last year's Masters at +800 by four shots over Ludvig Aberg in a dominating performance. It was Scheffler's second green jacket after he won at Augusta back in 2022.
Rory McIlroy (+650) has the second-best odds at BetMGM, and has seen his odds nearly halved from opening at 12-1 last year. McIlroy has the most wagers (10.6%) and total dollars wagered (14.8%) of any golfer at BetMGM, while Scheffler is second in both categories. Bryson DeChambeau (16-1) represents the current biggest liability for BetMGM.
After Scheffler and McIlroy, Collin Morikawa (14-1), DeChambeau (16-1), Jon Rahm (16-1), Aberg (20-1), Xander Schauffele (22-1), Justin Thomas (22-1) and Brooks Koepka (30-1) have the best odds to win the tournament.
Tiger Woods will miss the tournament after rupturing his left Achilles a few weeks ago and undergoing surgery to repair it. Phil Mickelson, a three-time Masters champion, has 80-1 odds.
