Masters best bets: Odds and top dark horse picks to win Green Jacket in 2025
TheMasters is set to tee off Thursday, with the first major of the PGA Tour season taking to the links at Augusta National for one of golf's most revered events.
The competition to end up in the tournament's iconic green jacket will be fierce, with defending champion Scottie Scheffler hoping to defend his title after winning last year. Rory McIlroy, Collin Morikawa, Bryson DeChambeau and Jon Rahm are among the favorites as well, though one huge name (Tiger Woods) won't be in contention due to injury.
However, that's not to say that the favorites are the only players who can come out on top. 2017 champion Sergio García — who like Rahm plays on the LIV Golf Tour — is in the mix, as are some in-form golfers like Corey Conners and Will Zalatoris.
Here are some best bets for the Masters, including odds, sleepers, and some surprise names that could miss the cut:
