2026 Masters Betting Odds Scottie Scheffler, John Rahm Open as Early Favorites

It's that time of year again. The 2026 Masters is approaching, widely regarded as the premier golf major of the year. Once again, Augusta National will host a seven-day golf event, including practice rounds and competitive play, running from Thursday, Apr. 9, through Sunday, Apr. 12. In this article, I will break down the betting odds and early favorites to win the Masters Tournament.

Since its inaugural tournament in 1934, the Masters has been considered one of the most prestigious sporting events in the world. Aside from Wimbledon, the Kentucky Derby, and the Olympic Games, there's nothing quite like the tournament in Augusta, Georgia.

Set to feature golfers from around the globe, 91 players will compete for the green jacket, a full-course meal, a legacy, and money. The tournament kicks off  Thursday, and the leaderboard will begin to take shape once the cut comes into play on Friday.

The Augusta National course is a par-72 course that features 18 historic holes. Filled with near-perfect greens, the course features Amen Corner (holes 11, 12, 13), and Redbud (hole 16). Perhaps the most renowned spot is Holly, hole 18. Signaling the end of the round, this is where some of the most iconic golfers have made history. Over the years, I've seen Tiger Woods make the long walk from hole 18 to the Butler Cabin five times. It's one of the most famous walks a golfer can make.

Only 50 players make the cut, which will happen on Friday. That said, the 10-stroke rule has been eliminated, and the cut line varies from year to year.

Scottie Scheffler, Jon Rahm, Early Masters Betting Favorites

Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, and Arnold Palmer are just a few legendary names to top the Masters leaderboard in all-time wins. And it so happens that Scottie Scheffler, the No. 1-ranked golfer in the world, is already a two-time Masters champion. Last winning in 2024, he's the overwhelming favorite (+410) on DraftKings to win this year. Next up is Jon Rahm (+850), who is ranked No. 29 in the PGA. Rahm has three top-25 finishes, along with two top 10s in 2025. He tied for No. 14 (-3) in last year's Masters Tournament.

The 2025 Masters Tournament was one for the books. Full of excitement and constant odd shifts, Rory Mcllroy narrowly won over Justin Rose after both tied at -11. Ultimately, it was Mcllroy who prevailed in the playoffs by just a hair. Mcllroy, who's the No.2-ranked golfer in the PGA, had the third-best odds (+1025) to win the Masters this year. Last year, he completed a grand slam. Can he win the Masters again?

Betting on the Masters and golf in general doesn't have to be boring! On DraftKings, you can bet on the outright winner, golfers to finish top 5, top 10, top 20, top 30, and top 40 (including ties). Bettors have the chance to wager on the End of round 1 leader, round 2 leader, among several other options. We are fresh off the Valero Texas Open, which crowned J.J. Spaun as the winner. The Masters has plenty of big names in the field, including Bryson DeChambeau, Ludvig Åberg, Cameron Young, and more.

Not appearing in the 2026 is Tiger Woods, who is facing legal trouble, and Phil Mickelson.
