The golf world is already gripped by Masters fever, as the legendary tournament at Augusta National is just around the corner! From April 9th to 12th, 2026, it's that time again when the cream of the crop in golf will be hunting for the Green Jacket. Initial odds and expert tips are already out and promise pure drama.
Scottie Scheffler enters the race as the absolute top favorite with +400 odds – truly impressive! But Rory McIlroy (+650) and Jon Rahm (+1300) are also eager to claim victory. Golfers like Bryson DeChambeau (+1600) and Xander Schauffele (+1600), both still waiting for their first Augusta triumph, are also among the front-runners.
Who Will Complete the Grand Slam?
It gets particularly exciting for Xander Schauffele, Collin Morikawa, and Brooks Koepka. All three already have two Major titles under their belt and could get closer to the career Grand Slam with a victory at the Masters – what an incredible opportunity! Even legend Tiger Woods (+25000) has not ruled out competing, even if his chances are considered a long shot.
Apropos Morikawa: The young man is considered a real value bet (+2700) by a proven model that correctly predicted 16 Majors and simulated 10,000 times. Morikawa consistently performs well at Augusta, with two top-5 finishes, three top-10 finishes, and five top-25 results – and has always been in the top 15 in the last four years! Things are really looking good for him.
The Dark Horses on the Green
Besides Morikawa, there are other promising odds for players like Justin Rose (+2700), Patrick Reed (+2700), and our frequent favorite Viktor Hovland (+3000). Hideki Matsuyama (+3000) could also deliver a surprise. For the truly daring among you, Justin Thomas (+3300) or even Phil Mickelson (+10000) could be exciting bets. The field is not yet final, but the excitement is already skyrocketing!
