Masters 2023 Betting Preview
05 April 2023
It is Masters week in the sport of golf, and this is always one of the biggest weekends of the year for golfers and for golf fans. The Masters is always held at Augusta National each year, and it’s a course that provides a great challenge to the top golfers in the world.
This is the first major golf tournament of the year, and it’s the one that most golfers cherish the most. With another loaded field set to tee it up this weekend, you will find that the betting odds to win the event are loaded with big names.
Here is a look at some of the odds to win the Masters, and a Dunkel pick and prediction is included.
Favorites to Win the Masters
The first place you want to start when trying to predict any golf tournament is to look at the betting odds that are listed. Because all of the best players in the world are going to be playing at Augusta National this weekend, you will see plenty of big names bunched together.
Here are the current odds to win the Masters:
- Scottie Scheffler +700
- Rory McIlroy +700
- Jon Rahm +900
- Jordan Spieth +1600
- Patrick Cantlay +1800
- Justin Thomas +2000
The three golfers that appear to have separated from the field include Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, and Jon Rahm. It would be a shock to see anyone outside of that group come away with the win this weekend, but there are shocking results all of the time on the PGA Tour.
Plenty of Competition
Since Augusta National is such a challenging course, every golfer is going to be faced with some tough shots during every single round of the tournament. The weather conditions this weekend also call for some rain, and that could make things even more interesting.
With that in mind, it’s important to look at the rest of the field as well, and there are plenty of big names in the next wave of golfers as well. Here are some other odds that are out there for the top competitors to the betting favorites:
- Cameron Smith +2200
- Xander Schauffele +2200
- Tony Finau +2200
- Collin Morikawa +2500
- Jason Day +2500
- Dustin Johnson +2500
- Cameron Young +2800
- Max Homa +3000
- Viktor Hovland +3500
- Sung-Jae Im +3500
- Brooks Koepka +4000
- Will Zalatoris +4000
There are several players from this group that have either had success at Augusta in the past, or at least have won a major golf championship.
McIlroy Finally Gets it Done
There always seems to be plenty of drama at the Masters each year, and the leaderboard is going to be loaded with big names on Sunday. The leaderboard also tends to get very crowded on the back nine on Sunday, and that will be the case again.
It’s not easy to pick who is going to win any golf tournament, and that is especially true at Augusta National. This weekend though, it’s going to be Rory McIlroy that holds off all of the competitors and finally picks up his first green jacket.
The pick to make is to take Rory McIlroy as he completes his career grand slam by picking up a win over a loaded field.
