Scottie Scheffler leads the betting to win the 2024 US Masters tournament. The current world No.1 has been in scintillating form this season and is slated at just +510 to add the 2024 Green Jacket to the one he won in 2022. In our latest golf betting picks, we tell you if he is going to do it.

The US Masters is the first golf major competition of the year. It is also the only major championship to be held on the same course every year, the Augusta National. The event is widely regarded as the best major to win, with the iconic Green Jacket awarded to the winner in the famous Butler Cabin at the end of the competition.
Some of golf’s greatest names, Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Tom Watson, Tiger Woods, and Phil Mickelson, have left the cabin with Green Jackets on more than one occasion, and looking to join them this year as multiple winners is Scottie Scheffler and Jon Rahm.
Yes, the defending champion Jon Rahm is back, along with the rest of the LIV golfers who qualified to play in the event. The four majors aren’t organized by the PGA, meaning they have no authority to ban the LIV golfers. So Rahm, Dustin Johnson, Sergio Garcia, Phil Mickelson, and many others can all line up in Georgia this week.
Betting to win the Masters 2024
How is Jon Rahm fairing in the latest Vegas golf odds to win the Masters? He is doing okay, sitting third in the betting at +1350. But history tells us that the LIV golfers haven’t done well in the majors. Brooks Koepka’s win at the 2023 PGA Championship is still the only win at a major for a LIV golfer since the split that threatened to ruin the game as we know it.
The favorite to win the 2024 Masters tournament is the 2022 champion, Scottie Scheffler, at +510. Scheffler is way ahead of the field. His closest rival is Rory McIlroy at +1200, who is probably only ahead of Rahm because of the record of LIV golfers at majors.
Behind the leading trio is Xander Schauffele at +1500, Brooks Koepka at +2000, Hideki Matsuyama at +2200, and Jordan Speith at +2500. Koepka finished T2 here last year, possibly paving the way for his PGA win a few weeks later. Matsuyama is the 2021 champion, so he knows this course, and Spieth won here in 2015.
Of the seven leading golfers in the betting, four are previous winners. More 2024 US Masters betting options are available on our golf odds table below. All our odds are from the best online golf betting sites.
In 2023, Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy were +750 joint betting favorites. The eventual winner, Jon Rahm, went off at +1100 to win the title. This year, Scheffler is miles clear of the field at +510.
The odds on World No.1 Scheffler and McIlroy last year looked short. But such is the one-time winner here’s form in 2024, the bookmakers have no alternative than to make him such a short-priced favorite.
Scheffler is the top points scorer (222.85) in PGA Tour events in 2024. Making up the top five behind Scheffler are Wyndham Clark (156.95), Hideki Matsuyama (108.39), Mattieu Pavon (99.04), and Xander Schauffele (94.65). That gives you an indication of just how dominant the American currently is.
Scottie Scheffler To Win +510
How can we not pick Scottie Scheffler to win? He is the in-form player in the world by a mile. He finished T2 at the recent Houston Open. That was just after his stunning win at the Players’ Championship, which followed his win at the Arnold Palmer. Scheffler has also finished T3 at the Phoenix Open and T10 at the Genesis in 2024.
Scottie Scheffler is our pick to win the 2024 US Masters tournament.
Rory McIlroy has never won a Green Jacket and he must be a consideration this week after his third-place finish at the Valero Texas Open last Sunday. Don’t shy away from backing the 34-year-old Irishman. This is the only major he has yet to win. And he is hungry to put the record straight.
Given Scheffler’s form, McIlroy will have to produce an epic performance to beat the World No.1, so instead we’re backing him to finish in front of defending champion, Jon Rahn.
Finally, we like the look of a bet on Wyndham Clark to finish in the top five. Clark had a disappointing time in his last outing at the Houston Open, finishing in T31. But before that, he was second behind Scheffler at the Arnold Palmer and T2 behind Scheffler at the Players.
Wyndham Clark to finish in the top five is our final 2024 Masters betting pick.
