Masters Best Bets: Outright Winners

Bryson DeChambeau

+1075 at DraftKings

By Jake Zach

To win at Augusta National, you must be an elite driver of the golf ball.  Bryson DeChambeau is the best driver of the golf ball in this field and it’s not particularly close.  Nobody has the distance paired with control like DeChambeau.

The Masters has turned into a true driving test.  Just look at the past winners: McIlroy, Scheffler, Rahm, Scheffler.  They all combined for 18+ stoked gained: off the tee in their wins.  Just under five strokes on average.  Those are big time numbers for off the tee metrics.  Without elite driving, you are going to fall behind very quickly at Augusta.   

DeChambeau’s history at Augusta is a fascinating study. After early struggles, he has clearly decoded the layout, posting a T6 and T5 in his last two appearances. In both instances, he was arguably one bad round away from a win.

As mentioned, history shows that Masters winners are usually knocking on the door here in prior starts before breaking through. Scheffler posted a T19 and T18 before his wins. Rahm was a consistent top-10 finisher before his victory.

While LIV data is often debated, DeChambeau’s recent form is undeniable, coming off back-to-back wins in Singapore and South Africa. He is one of the best around the green players in the field, ranking second in our model over the past year and gaining in his last three starts on LIV.  

DeChambeau has explicitly stated his preference for lightning-fast greens, a claim backed up by his 2024 U.S. Open win at Pinehurst. 

It’s time for him to get his green jacket.  I feel it. 

Jon Rahm

+1000 at FanDuel

By Tony Sartori

A former Masters champion, Jon Rahm returns to Augusta in outstanding form. He's either won or finished runner-up in four of his past five LIV events.

The only "outlier" over that stretch was a fifth-place finish. He's gained true strokes on the approach and true strokes around the green in each of his past four tournaments, demonstrating a well-rounded game that should serve him well at a venue he has played extremely well at throughout his career.

Xander Schauffele

+2000 at FanDuel

By Spencer Aguiar

The discussion nobody is ready to have: What does a victory at the Masters do for the legacy of Xander Schauffele?

You could go back to this time in 2024 and see a golfer who had zero majors entering this tournament and convince yourself that it might not happen for him in his career. I did not believe that to be the case because the data was always too strong around him, but a lot can change if you don't have one at a certain point and find yourself chasing late into your 30s.

Someone like Lee Westwood, who posted 19 top-10 finishes, could never get one to his name. Schauffele, with 12 top-10s after this Masters in 2024, was on a better pace to find his major, but weirder things have happened. It takes one slump in these to derail everything.

With a victory this week, Schauffele will have rattled off three in eight majors, with the career grand slam now in his sights, needing just the U.S. Open to complete the slam. We are getting entirely ahead of ourselves by trying to slip the Green Jacket onto his shoulders, but the question remains: What does a victory at the Masters do for the legacy of Schauffele? If he gets it, we have to raise his stature in golf history.

Cameron Young

+2300 at FanDuel

By Kyle Murray

When I look at the way I'm grading out the guys in this field from a putting perspective, you're looking for guys who don't commit a lot of self-induced errors, three-putts, things of that nature.

And then in a positive scoring environment you're going to look at ball-striking, and that fits Cameron Young to a T.

One stat you see thrown out a lot is that players who miss the cut the previous year tend to not play well the next year. Patrick Reed was the last player to win the Masters a year after missing the cut. Young missed the cut last year, but I think that's a cherry-picked stat and not actually indicative of potential success.

I think we're at the peak of Young's career right now. He won the Players, finished T3 at the Arnold Palmer, T7 at the Genesis, and when you put all that together and with him being such a strong fit for this course, I love this bet.

He grades out as the sixth best player in the field for me and actually had the fourth-highest win rate in my model. So he's someone I'm definitely targeting this week and particularly at this number.

Matt Fitzpatrick

+2350 at DraftKings

By Derek Farnsworth

After Matt Fitzpatrick won the 2022 U.S. Open, he struggled with his game for a few years. He's a constant tinkerer, and he eventually figured it out.

He's been in elite form over the last nine months and has picked up two wins during that stretch (DP World Tour Championship and the Valspar Championship). He nearly won The Players Championship as well.

He has always had a great short game, but he's striking the ball as well as he ever has. With question marks at the top of the betting board, this could be a good year for somewhat of a surprising winner.

Adam Scott

+6600 at BetMGM

By Jon Schiller

This number is pretty crazy for Adam Scott, who is arguably playing the best golf of his career since he won the Masters in 2013. Scott has continued to improve his game over time, especially off the tee, where he is a top-15 player in the world in ball speed.

We know long driving is a great predictor to success at Augusta (as well as experience here), which he has more than anyone. Scott hasn't played well at the Masters in the last few years, but this is the best he's playing overall in many years, and you know he wants his game to be peaking for this tournament.

I think he should be in the +4000 range with guys like Brooks Koepka, Viktor Hovland, and Min Woo Lee. I also love playing him in the each-way markets.
