The 90th edition of The Masters is finally here, and the atmosphere at Augusta National is electric. All eyes are on defending champion Rory McIlroy (+1400) as he looks to become the first back-to-back winner since Tiger Woods in 2002. However, the oddsmakers at BetOnline.ag aren’t making him the favorite to pull it off.
The Scheffler Standard
Scottie Scheffler (+600) enters the week as the man to beat. Despite a brief hiatus for the birth of his second son, Remy, Scottie is in Augusta and looked dialed in during his practice rounds. His ball-striking remains the gold standard, and at 6/1, he represents the “safe” play for anyone looking to back the most consistent golfer on the planet.
The Redemption Angles
If you’re looking for a narrative-driven bet, keep an eye on Jon Rahm (+1000) and Bryson DeChambeau (+1400). Rahm has been a model of consistency at Augusta, while DeChambeau’s power game is perfectly suited for the 7,565-yard layout. Interestingly, if you can’t decide between the favorites, BetOnline is offering a “Two Chances to Win” prop, where a Scheffler/Rahm combo sits at +350.
